Precision Tuning with the Serpent Cobra SRX8 PRO 600020
The Serpent Cobra SRX8 PRO GP 1/8 4WD Nitro Buggy, model 600020, is built around practical race features from designer Billy Easton. The platform emphasises predictable balance and easy-to-access setup adjustments so drivers can focus on lap consistency and corner speed.
Captured Center Layout for Reliability
The captured center driveline returns to improve longevity and reduce power loss compared to older layouts. Greased joints and protective rubber boots shield components from grime and extend maintenance intervals for regular club use.
Large Volume Diffs That Hold Up
Equipped with large volume differentials and Mod 1.25 internal gears, the SRX8 PRO resists performance drop-off over longer runs. The standard 10/20 internal ratio gives a stable baseline for tuning across a range of track surfaces.
Aero Setup That Adds Composure
Raising the wing mount by 15mm places the wing in cleaner airflow to raise downforce and lateral grip. This change improves mid-corner composure and lets drivers be more confident when carrying speed through bends.
Refined Steering Feel
The revised steering features ball bearing raced steering racks which smooth steering inputs and reduce abrupt chassis roll. Retaining effective Ackerman geometry, the system helps maintain neutral handling on higher-traction surfaces.
Simple Weight Tuning for Traction Control
Chassis-mounted brass weights in 10g, 20g, and 30g increments allow quick ballast changes to alter front or rear bias. That flexibility helps when adapting to different track layouts or changing clay and carpet grip levels.
