Cobra GT 3.0: Engineered for Asphalt Performance

The Serpent Cobra GT 3.0 is a 1/8 scale nitro touring kit developed with track consistency in mind. The core chassis uses 7075-T6 aluminium and carbon fibre shock towers to combine rigidity with controlled flex where needed for handling balance.

Transmission and Brake System Notes

Equipped with the XLi superlight 2-speed gearbox, borrowed from the Viper 977-Evo, the Cobra GT 3.0 benefits from lower inertia and crisper acceleration. Precision machined aluminium middle bearing blocks mount the gearbox and a double brake system to retain alignment under heavy use.

Suspension components are fully independent with updated aluminium C-hubs and uprights to refine steering feel. The angled shock mounting using aluminium risers increases tyre contact patch stability and delivers reliable cornering traits during long runs.

Chassis Layout and Long Term Reliability

The drivetrain features spring-steel components and stable gear differentials to handle race stresses. The 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium chassis has machined pockets to reduce mass while keeping stiffness, and a front kick-up geometry that complies with common racing regulations.

The Serpent Cobra GT 3.0 is a reliable starting point for club and circuit racers who want a platform that responds predictably to setup changes and upgrades.

Select tyre compounds and profiles that match the track surface and temperature; harder compounds suit abrasive tarmac while softer tyres give more grip on cool surfaces. Test several options to find the ideal balance.
Standard RC tools are sufficient, including hex drivers, a torque driver, and a diff setup tool. A small press or bearing tool can speed bearing installs and improve accuracy.
Clean the chassis and drivetrain of fuel residue and dirt, drain the fuel if storing long term, and keep the car in a dry case to avoid corrosion. Check seals and bearings before the next outing.
Yes, the gearbox accepts tuned pulleys and gearing adjustments. Changing ratios is straightforward but check belt tension and alignment after any modification to maintain reliability.
