The latest iteration, the Cobra GT 3.1, continues this legacy with enhancements that cater to both seasoned racers and dedicated hobbyists.
Engineering Excellence: What's New?
At the heart of the Cobra GT 3.1 is its refined chassis. Crafted from 7075 T6 aluminum, the chassis plate features machined pockets to optimize flex and reduce weight, while maintaining rigidity.

Additionally, the carbon fiber shock towers now offer multiple tuning options, allowing racers to fine-tune their setup according to track conditions.
Precision Drivetrain and Suspension
The Cobra GT 3.1 employs a robust 4WD system powered by cardan shafts and gear differentials, ensuring smooth power delivery and exceptional traction. The inclusion of a solid center axle reduces rotating mass, improving acceleration and simplifying maintenance. The suspension system features independent components, with large bore RCM shocks and color-coded springs that are individually tested for consistency.
Advanced Setup and Customization
For those who enjoy personalizing their RC experience, the Cobra GT 3.1 offers an array of adjustable features. The steering system includes servo saver enhancements for faster response, while the Ackermann plates allow for precise steering adjustments without the need for tie rod modifications. The integrated radio box provides ample space for electronics, ensuring a clean and efficient setup.
