For enthusiasts seeking a dependable off-road machine, the Serpent Cobra E-Truggy offers a practical blend of toughness and track capability. This 1/8 scale RTR model reflects Serpent's experience building high performance RC kits, with components chosen to survive rough use while remaining tuneable.
The car sits on a race-influenced chassis and uses small gear differentials plus 16mm big bore shocks to smooth impacts and stabilize handling. The 3mm 7075T6 aluminium base is CNC machined to deliver controlled flex and consistent cornering traits.
Equipped with a DragonRC 2000kV brushless motor and a waterproof 150A ESC, the Cobra takes 4S to 6S LiPo setups for a range of power options. A metal gear servo and anti-roll bars help keep steering predictable at higher speeds.
Long composite lower arms and spring-steel trackrods provide durable suspension action with the right amount of compliance. The steering geometry is tuned to reduce bump steer and preserve Ackerman during travel, while zero scrub radius knuckles and adjustable roll centre improve directional stability.
Beginners and tuners alike will find the setup straightforward. Battery trays fit both 2S and 3S packs and secure with Serpent velcro straps. The pre-cut, pre-painted body is offered in several colours, and a clear shell is included for custom paint jobs.
The Serpent Cobra E-Truggy 600039 is a versatile 1/8 truggy that balances ruggedness with race-oriented features, making it a good platform for hobbyists who plan to tune and upgrade over time.
