The Serpent Cobra GT 3.0 represents a focused 1/8 scale nitro touring build for drivers who demand consistent handling. The Cobra architecture pairs a rigid 7075-T6 aluminium racing chassis with carbon fibre shock towers to resist flex and keep tyre contact predictable on smooth surfaces.
The car features the XLi superlight 2-speed gearbox borrowed from the Viper 977-Evo, reducing rotating mass to aid acceleration response. The gearbox and dual brake layout are mounted on strengthened aluminium middle bearing blocks to maintain alignment under load.
Its fully independent suspension uses updated aluminium C-hubs and uprights to refine steering geometry. Angled shock placement via new aluminium risers improves traction and gives drivers more predictable corner exit performance, making fine setup changes more effective.
Power is transmitted through a spring-steel drivetrain and hardened geardiffs designed for endurance. The 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium chassis includes machined pockets to tune flex and shed weight, while the front kick-up angle aligns with racing standards and adds controlled compliance.
For racers and serious hobbyists seeking a modular, tuneable nitro on-road car, the Serpent platform provides a solid foundation and room for performance upgrades.
