The Evolution of Off-Road Excellence: Serpent Cobra TE
The Serpent Cobra TE 1/8 4WD Nitro Buggy represents a pinnacle in off-road racing innovation, drawing from over 15 years of competitive experience. Designed to enhance both the balance and drivability, this buggy integrates new and proven concepts to deliver an exceptional racing package. With its lightweight construction at just 3300 grams, the Cobra TE is engineered to elevate an average driver into a formidable competitor, thanks to its cohesive design where every component works in harmony.
Precision Engineering for Competitive Edge
At the heart of the Serpent Cobra TE is a meticulously designed chassis that prioritizes performance and durability. The 3mm machined chassis, anodised in a striking titanium color, features countersunk holes and a laser-engraved Cobra logo. This narrow design enhances ground clearance and minimizes chassis drag, crucial for navigating uneven terrains and executing sharp turns with ease.
Advanced Suspension and Steering
The Cobra TE's suspension system is a marvel of modern engineering, featuring CNC-machined aluminum suspension brackets and symmetrical inner pivots for a more neutral handling experience. The inboard bell crank steering arm ensures tighter body fitment and reduced susceptibility to damage, while zero scrub radiuses on the steering knuckle enhance direct steering feel and chassis stability during turns.
Optimized for Performance
This buggy's drivetrain is optimized for superior acceleration with a 4.3:1 gear ratio, lightweight differentials, and a center spur that reduces rotating mass. The inclusion of a 4-shoe centrifugal racing clutch allows for customizable engagement, ensuring maximum traction and control. Big bore 16mm shocks with threaded bodies and oversized shock shafts further enhance the buggy's ability to handle jumps and rough terrain.
Durability Meets Innovation
Constructed with durability in mind, the Cobra TE features captured ball cups, anti-roll bars, and a robust braking system with fiberglass discs. Its innovative fuel tank design includes a splash basin and self-centering seal to maintain engine performance during pit stops. The low-profile body and high downforce wing enhance aerodynamics, making the Cobra TE as visually impressive as it is functional.
