Serpent Cobra SRX8 PRO 600020 - A Precision 1/8 Nitro Buggy
The Serpent Cobra SRX8 PRO GP 1/8 4WD Nitro Buggy, model 600020, focuses on precise handling and adjustable setup options developed with input from Billy Easton. It is aimed at drivers who want a tunable chassis that responds predictably to setup changes.
Captured Centre Driveline for Efficient Power
Returning to a captured centre driveline lowers drivetrain friction and improves longevity. The use of greased joints and rubber boots reduces contamination and helps maintain consistent performance session after session.
Oversized Differentials for Stable Traction
The SRX8 PRO employs large volume differentials fitted with Mod 1.25 internal gears to resist performance fade under heavy loads. The industry-standard 10/20 ratio gives a reliable baseline for trimming handling characteristics to suit the circuit.
Higher Wing Position for Better Balance
An increased wing mount height of 15mm positions the wing into cleaner airflow, adding downforce and improving lateral stability. This aids mid-corner stability when running higher levels of traction.
Progressive Ball Bearing Steering
The steering assembly uses ball bearing raced racks to deliver a smoother and more progressive steering feel. Alongside Ackerman plates, the setup reduces sudden weight transfer and supports neutral cornering behaviour.
Chassis Weight Tuning Options
Removable brass weights in 10g, 20g, and 30g sizes allow quick adjustments to front or rear bias. This straightforward ballast system is useful for tailoring grip and handling to different track conditions.
