The Evolution of Performance: Serpent Cobra GT 3.1
The Serpent Cobra GT 3.1 is a testament to high-performance engineering in the RC world. Designed for serious racers, this 1/8 scale nitro-powered touring car has been meticulously crafted to deliver superior handling, speed, and durability. Building on the success of its predecessors, the Cobra GT 3.1 integrates several enhancements that make it a formidable contender on any track.
Advanced Suspension and Handling
The Cobra GT 3.1's suspension system is a key highlight, featuring fully independent setups with new aluminium shock extensions. These enhancements provide a more progressive shock angle, resulting in increased grip and better cornering predictability. The inclusion of carbon shock towers allows for precise tuning, accommodating various track conditions with ease.
Innovative Brake System
Borrowing technology from the SRX8 buggy, the Cobra GT 3.1 includes a steel disk brake system with pre-glued pads. This setup ensures smoother braking with less fade, crucial for maintaining control during high-speed runs. The brakes are easy to maintain, making them ideal for competitive scenarios where reliability is paramount.
Powerful Drivetrain and Gearbox
At the heart of the Cobra GT 3.1 is the XLi 2-speed gearbox, known for its lightweight construction and performance efficiency. Coupled with cardan shafts and two gear differentials, this drivetrain configuration provides robust power delivery, ensuring rapid acceleration and sustained top speeds. The gearbox's low inertia design further enhances acceleration responsiveness.
Durable Construction
Constructed from high-grade 7075 T6 aluminium, the Cobra GT 3.1's chassis is both lightweight and resilient. Its strategic design incorporates machined pockets for added flexibility without compromising strength. The chassis also features a kick-up angle and precision slots for suspension mounts, optimizing the vehicle's stability and handling dynamics.
