Serpent 600042 Cobra GT RTR GP 1/8 Track-Tuned Nitro Touring  [SER600042]

Track-Oriented Details of the Cobra GT

For those passionate about RC racing, the Serpent 600042 Cobra GT RTR GP 1/8 is built to perform on club circuits. This nitro touring car marries a race-minded chassis with proven engine hardware for drivers focused on lap times and tuning potential.

Powerplant and Fitment

The car is equipped with a Novarossi pullstart engine from Italy, chosen for its dependable starting and steady power delivery. Engine mounting uses machined aluminum brackets to keep powerplants rigidly secured during hard acceleration and cornering.

Chassis Strength and Geometry

The Cobra GT rides on a 7075 T6 aluminium chassis with a 3mm heavy plate and a front kick-up design to reduce impact forces. The layout includes slots for fine suspension positioning and angled sides that increase stiffness where needed.

Suspension Tuning and Steering Precision

An angled steering setup is employed to cut bump steer and improve predictability through corners. The independent suspension, fitted with large 16mm shocks, delivers controlled rebound and better traction on flowing circuits.

Transmission, Driveline and Stopping Power

Power flows through a 2-speed SL8 automatic gearbox with cardan shafts to the wheels, offering smooth shifts and punchy acceleration. Braking uses dual lightweight glass-fiber discs for reliable fade-resistant performance.

Ready-Made Package with Upgrade Path

The RTR package includes a Dragon-RC 2.4 GHz transmitter, pre-mounted GT race tyres and a pre-painted body so you can hit the track without long setup times. The car is also designed to accept common race upgrades when needed.

The Serpent Cobra GT RTR GP 1/8 is a practical starting point for racers who prioritise a solid, tunable chassis with a reliable nitro engine and a clear upgrade path.
