SER600007 Serpent Cobra TE 1/8 4wd Buggy

The Cobra Race Buggy is a new innovative design based on 15 years of off-road
racing experience.

It is a mixture of new and current concepts to provide a substantially better
overall package. The balance left to right and front to back has also been improved
over current designs. In turn provide a larger tuning window without loss in
drivability. With most new competitive buggies being put on a diet, you will
not be disappointed, as the S811 comes in at 3300 grams, fully loaded with all
the standard items. The philosophy was simple, how can you create a car, which
will take an average driver and transform him into a great driver. The end solution
was to provide him with a product that will work as one harmonious unit together,
all items functioning in unison.

Suspension brackets aluminium fr and rr
CNC machines suspension brackets front and rear. Very strong and durable, yet
lightweight design, keeping the pivot-inserts well captured. Anodised and laser-engraved.

Symmetrical inner pivots
Front and rear pivots are in the same plane. This helps keep the care more neutral
under cornering.

Steering
Inboard Bell crank Steering arm
This is to provide a tighter fit on the body as well as keep the lever and linkage
inside the car. It will aid in the prevention of damage to the steering system

Zero scrub radiuses on steering knuckle
This feature helps reduce the jacking effect created by your steering knuckle
offset. It provides a more direct feel while keeping the cars chassis more level
while turning.

Ackerman plates
With the design of the steering bell cranks when changing the Ackerman you will
not need to adjust your steering tie rods. You simply will only need to adjust
your end points on your radio..

Angled Bell cranks
The bell cranks are angled to reduce the angle of difference between the total
caster and steering plane. Therefore you will have less bump steer and a truer
steering Ackerman through the entire range of suspension

Steering-blocks / caster blocks / steering knuckle assembly
Durable moulded composite steeringblocks with standard 10 degree caster blocks.

Front Steering knuckle assembly
The front roll center can be changed quickly by moving the steering knuckle
shims to their appropriate locations.

Adjustable wheel base
5 mm of wheel base adjustment in the rear from 322.5 to 327.5 mm.

Composite chassis braces
Allows the chassis to flex which helps improve bump handling. Front and rear.

Large radius front Bumper
Helps reduce the lawn dart effect on nose down jump landings. Also helps to
prevent scrubbing off speed on moguls, and whoop style bumps

Chassis kick up angle
Most angle in its class, this will provide more clearance for attacking even
the most destroyed jump faces. It will insure you can guide your way up the
face without scrubbing off any valuable speed.

Chassis, narrow design
Improves overall ground clearance on sides for minimal chassis dragging. This
is an improvement for Jumping and cornering over uneven ground. With less mass
out wide the car will pitch less in the corner, but also stay straighter in
quick left to right cornering.

Machined chassis 3mm
Light weight chassis helps minimize weight and improve overall vehicle performance.
Countersunk holes. Anodised in titanium color and laser engraved Cobra logo.

All suspension mounts are keyed into position
This helps to relieve the mount of any side forces from tumbling in a crash.
It take the pressure off the screws and transmission case and puts that force
on the chassis.

Eccentrics on suspension mounts
There is a range of different eccentrics you can use to adjust your kick up
in the front of the vehicle as well as the anti squat in the rear.

Long steering tie rods
Based on the bell crank design the rod length has been optimized to be as close
to the same length as possible to further reduce bump steer.

Captured Servo Saver assembly
Reduces unwanted debris from destroy servo saver faces. Which will prevents
any sort of premature servo damage.

One piece radio tray.
The assembly is unique as is provides on rigid component that can house all
of your radio gear. The removal is just as easy with 6 screws total.

Crimping Antenna mount with rubber water proof cap

not only will hold your antenna in place, but has a rubber cap to prevent water
from sneaking in to your radio box.

Light Pro-type alu shock towers
4.5 mm thick light alu shock towers improve visual appeal, however also provide
lighter weight. Both front and rear.

Big bore shocks 16mm

of this compacted bigbore design with large o rings and superb bleeders. The
larger o rings provide less overall pressure and a better seal without all the
dragging on the shock shaft.
Laser angraved hard anodised tops.

Threaded shock bodies
This is for reducing parts in your pit bag. No more clips to loose. It helps
adjust in much finer increments.

Oversized 4mm shock shafts
Reducing damage to shock shafts from hard jump landings or impacts.

Shock boots with bump stop
Shock boots have been designed to increase life, seal and utilize rubber as
a cushion to prevent damage to suspension components.

Shock spring buckets with debris drain and key locator The spring buckets at
the foot of the shock have drain holes to get dirt, water and debris out of
the usable shock zone. The key locator helps to align and lock the spring bucket
into position so it stays put during operation.

Captured ball cups
All camber links, steering links and steering servo links have been trapped.
This will help prevent any ball cups from popping off.

Anti-roll bars
Front and rear anti-roll bars made of spring steel wire and size indicated with
engraving.Anti-roll bars are ballraced for effectiveness and smooth operation.
A variery of optional ones available, also as sets.

Pillow Ball sway bar joints
This is a quick and easy way to adjust the left and right tweak of your sway
bar.

Roll center adjustment

shims to their appropriate locations.

Fueltank
Splash basin on tank top
This helps reduce fuel all over the chassis in the event of a messy pit stop.
The basin collects the splashed fuel and guides it safely out the bottom of
the chassis

Self centering Fuel tank seal
The fuel tank seal is angled to self guide its way into the bore of the tank.
At the same time will provide a seal on the chamfered and flat edges of the
seal, providing consistent engine performance from one pit stop to the next.

Built in tank splash guard
Helps prevent fuel from splashing onto your air filter in the event of an overly
excited pit man.

Tank with swiveling nipple and floating clunk.
With the swiveling nipple you are able to adjust the angle at which you want
you fuel line to travel. At the same time the floating clunk helps when you
go upside down. The clunk by gravity will fall back into the fuel, utilizing
the flexibility of the silicone fuel tubing.
