Cobra GT Overview for Hobby Racers and Club Drivers

For those passionate about RC racing, the Serpent 600042 Cobra GT RTR GP 1/8 delivers a compelling package. This nitro touring car combines engineered durability with on-track speed, making it a smart pick for club drivers and experienced hobbyists.

Novarossi Power and Mounting Details

The vehicle is powered by a Novarossi pullstart engine produced in Italy, prized for dependable ignition and run quality. The engine is mounted on precision-machined aluminum mounts to reduce movement and improve reliability under load.

Chassis Engineering and Impact Management

The chassis is crafted from 7075 T6 aluminum, featuring a 3mm heavy-duty plate and a front kick-up profile to help manage hard landings. Adjustable slots for suspension mounting let you dial in handling for specific tracks.

Handling: Steering and Dampers

An angled steering arrangement aims to cut down bump steer and provide cleaner turn-in response. Independent suspension paired with large 16mm big-bore shocks supplies consistent damping and better grip over bumps.

Driveline and Brakes

The Cobra GT uses a 2-speed SL8 automatic gearbox and cardan shafts to pass power smoothly to all four wheels. Braking is handled by a dual brake system with lightweight glass-fiber discs for controllable stopping power.

Complete RTR Setup

This RTR includes a Dragon-RC 2.4 GHz radio, pre-mounted GT tyres and a painted body shell so you can be track-ready quickly. The layout is designed to allow sensible upgrades as your setup needs change.

The Serpent Cobra GT RTR GP 1/8 is a solid platform for hobbyists who want reliable nitro performance with scope to tune handling and power for competitive club racing.

The car arrives mostly assembled and includes radio gear, so you mainly need to fit batteries and fuel, check trim and perform a few run-in engine procedures. Basic mechanical checks are recommended before the first run.
Common upgrades include stiffer springs and tuned dampers, higher-performance clutch parts, and different tyre compounds to match track surface and temperatures.
The Cobra GT is optimised for smooth tracks and asphalt; while it will handle some bumpy surfaces thanks to big-bore shocks, it is not intended for heavy off-road use.
The Novarossi engine will require a standard break-in routine to reach optimal performance. Follow the engine break-in steps and fuel recommendations to extend engine life.
