Precision on Tarmac with the Cobra GT 3.0

The Serpent Cobra GT 3.0 is a competitive 1/8 scale nitro on-road car engineered for stable, predictable handling. Built on the proven Cobra chassis, it pairs a 7075-T6 aluminium main plate with carbon fibre shock towers to balance strength and weight.

Drivetrain and Gearbox Advantages

This model uses the XLi superlight 2-speed gearbox from the Viper 977-Evo, keeping inertia low for rapid throttle response. The aluminium middle bearing blocks are machined to support the new gearbox layout and dual brake system, improving reliability under race conditions.

Suspension is fully independent with redesigned aluminium C-hubs and uprights to fine tune toe and camber behaviour. The shocks are mounted on angled aluminium risers to boost tyre grip and make turn-in more consistent during high speed sections.

Built for Durability and Tuning

The Cobra GT 3.0 uses a spring-steel drivetrain and geardiffs for robust power delivery. Its 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium chassis includes machined pockets to reduce weight while retaining stiffness, plus a front kick-up geometry that complies with standard racing rules.

Can I run the Cobra GT 3.0 at club races?

Yes, the Cobra GT 3.0 is intended for club and regional competition once fitted with an appropriate nitro engine and tuned tyres suited to the track surface.

What electronics do I need to finish the kit?

You will need a nitro engine, tuned exhaust and air filter, brushless or nitro-compatible servos, a receiver and transmitter, plus a suitable ignition system and wiring.

How do I maintain the shocks and suspension?

Regularly check shock oil level and seals, inspect pistons for wear, and verify that uprights and hubs are free of play. Replace worn bushings and bearings to maintain handling precision.

Which upgrades give the best handling gains?

Upgrading to lighter pulleys, stiffer turnbuckles and higher quality dampers can sharpen response. Tyre choice and ride height tuning often produce the biggest on-track improvements.

Is the kit easy to service between meetings?

Yes, the design facilitates routine maintenance like diff cleaning and clutch checks. Keep spares for wear items to minimise downtime during race weekends.
