Serpent 600040 Cobra GT 1/8 Nitro On-Road Touring Racer  [SER600040]

High-precision Serpent Cobra GT 1/8 On-Road Platform

The Serpent 600040 Cobra GT 1/8 Nitro On-Road Car is crafted for racers who expect tight handling and durable construction. The Cobra platform supports detailed setup work so drivers can refine handling across different venues.

Balanced Chassis with Purposeful Flex

Made from 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium, the chassis aims to hit a balance between lightweight performance and required stiffness. Machined pockets guide flex behaviour while countersunk holes and a front kick-up comply with competition standards and aid airflow management.

Steering Precision and Suspension Adaptability

To reduce bump steer and improve turn-in the Cobra GT uses angled bell cranks and composite steering blocks with 10 degree C-hubs. Its independent suspension with large arms and adjustable anti-roll bars allows precise control of body roll and mid-corner balance.

Efficient Driveline and Two-Speed Gearbox

The drivetrain uses cardan shafts and compact gear diffs to keep power delivery smooth. The SL8 2-speed gearbox, developed from the Serpent 966 lineage, employs a centrifugal spring-loaded shoe mechanism for reliable gear transitions under load.

Compact Brake and Fuel Systems for Race Conditions

The central disc brake with ventilated glass fibre discs gives dependable stopping without raising the centre of gravity. The 150cc composite nylon fuel tank features a secure sealing cap and guided tubing to maintain steady fuel flow during extended runs.

The Serpent 600040 Cobra GT 1/8 Nitro On-Road Car is well suited to serious hobbyists and racers who want a durable, tunable car that performs well under competition conditions.
