Cobra GT Summary for Competitive Hobbyists

For those passionate about RC racing, the Serpent 600042 Cobra GT RTR GP 1/8 presents a well-rounded choice. This nitro touring car mixes rugged construction with race-capable components, making it suitable for club competition and serious hobby use.

Novarossi Engine and Mounting Quality

The powerplant is a Novarossi pullstart motor built in Italy, noted for steady operation and easy starting. It is mounted on precision-machined aluminium mounts to keep the engine secure under race loads.

Chassis Build and Impact Resistance

The chassis is a 7075 T6 aluminium assembly with a 3mm heavy-duty plate and a front kick-up angle to help reduce shock on landings. Slot-mounted suspension positions enable accurate setup adjustments for different track layouts.

Steering Layout and Shock Absorption

An angled steering geometry is used to limit bump steer and improve cornering fidelity. Independent suspension with 16mm big-bore shocks gives dependable damping for predictable lap times.

Gearbox, Drivetrain and Braking System

Equipped with a 2-speed SL8 automatic gearbox and cardan shafts, the Cobra GT provides smooth power delivery and responsive acceleration. The dual brake setup uses lightweight glass-fiber discs for reliable stopping control.

Complete RTR Ready for Tuning

The package includes a Dragon-RC 2.4 GHz transmitter, pre-mounted GT race tyres and a pre-painted body so you can get on track quickly. The layout is intended to allow targeted upgrades as you refine setup and performance.
