Chassisplate
Chassisplate in 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium. Kick-up angle on front for stable landings.
Countersunk holes. Slots to locate the front and rear suspension mounts precisely.
Angled sides to increase stiffness.

Bumper
Large foam bumper, which is kept in place by a upper and lower nylon bumperplate.

Chassis stiffeners
Composite stiffener front and rear, to give extra stiffness, but still allow
some flex as needed.

Central radio / servo mount
Composite compact radiobox which offers good space for the steering servo and
the receiver.

Battery-cases / side-guards
The main eyecatchers are the extremely low laydown longitudinal placed battery-packs
at each side of the car, being part of the side-guards, securely fastened with
a fliptop-lid, for easy and fast battery changes. The weight low in the car
and in the right position, well balanced. The Lipo holders comply with ROAR
legal packs / dimensions.

Motormount:
The motor is placed in the most optimal position in the car, keeping motor-forces
and transmission parts / alignment in mind. Only one-screw is needed to secure
the BL motor, in the nicely designed durable machined aluminium motormount.
Space for additional motor-cooling available as needed.
The space for the motor allows a maximum motor-length of 70mm, which covers
most widely used motors ( except for the truggy / monstertruck motors).

Steeringblocks assembly
Composite steeringblocks combined with 10 dgr C-hubs for precise steering. Spring
steel wheel-axles with large size bearings and larger inner with precision threaded
aluminum wheel-hubs with offset . Flanged wheel nuts to guarantee that you will
not loose a wheel nut in a race.

Front suspension
Durable oversized lower suspension arms in strong composite nylon. On the lower
side the special shaped downstops screws are mounted. The lower shock-mounting
pins are secured with a small grubscrew from the bottom.

Front anti-roll bar
The ballraced front anti-roll bar system, consist of a spring steel bend wire,
which is guided through the diff-cases and runs in ballraced steel adaptors.
The wire is linked to the lower suspension arm, with a captured adjustable threaded
pivotball, for very precise and low friction operation and easy tuning.

Shocktower and bodymounts front
4.0mm thick aluminium anodised shocktower with 2 upper positioning holes for
the shocks and and 3 holes for roll-center positions. Strong, in height adjustable
bodymounts with wide top-section to seat the body well.

Angled steering system / servo saver
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 Ackermann through the entire range of suspension

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

Rear suspension arms
Durable longer oversized lower suspension arms in strong composite nylon. On
the lower side the special downstops screws are mounted. The lower shock-mounting
pins are secured with a small grubscrew from the bottom.

Rear uprights assembly
Composite uprights with 3 upper roll-center positions. Strong steel track-rods
with L/R threading and strong balljoints to pre-set camber. Hard steel wheel-axles
with large size bearings and larger inner ones with precision threaded aluminum
wheel-hubs with offset. Flanged wheel nuts to guarantee that you will not loose
a wheel nut in a race.

Rear anti-roll bar
The ballraced front anti-roll bar system, consist of a spring steel bend wire,
which is guided through the rear wingmount and runs in ballraced steel adaptors.
The wire is linked to the lower suspension arm, with a captured adjustable threaded
pivotball, for very precise and low friction operation.

Shocktower rear
4.5mm thick aluminium shocktower, integrated into the rear section for extra
stiffness, with 2 upper positioning holes for the shocks and 3 holes for roll-center
positions.

Wingmount and bodymounts rear
Polycarbonate rear low aero wing. Central rear bodymount with the rear bodypost,
which are adjustable in height easily .

Captured pivot pins and balls and bolted hinge pins
All spring-steel hinge pins are either captured or bolted in place and made
in spring-steel quality. This relieves stress on the hinge pin when adjusting
the kick up, or anti squat. Your pin is free to rotate to any angle without
binding.

Shockabsorbers RCM big-bore 16mm
Anodised aluminium shockbodies with durable 4mm shock-rods. Pre-load adjuster
clips for ride height setting. Shocks use large diameter membranes and large
diameter o-rings and bushings to create a supersmooth and leak-proof package.
Large diameter pistons are held in place by a nut on the polished shock-rods
tops. Open type spring retainer to let dirt out easy.

RCM shock springs
Colorcoded progressive race shock springs are supplied for the 1st standard
set-up and all springs are grinded flat top and bottom, and checked individually
for tension and length and are matched.

Compact geardifferentials
Very compact gear differentials with very smooth metal sintered gears, and steel
shaft. Perfect sealing case with special gasket and o-rings. Very light and
durable outdrive cups in spring-steel. Hardened spring-steel diff-coupler 13T
with connector running in 2 oversized bearings The Cobra-GT-E uses a 13T / 44T
combo gearing. 46T central diff gear. This drive ratio will provide amazing
acceleration combined with the low vehicle weight.

Front and rear drive

black steel driveshafts with hard steel pins.

Hard black steel transmission parts
The front and rear strong hard black steel cardan shafts connect the differentials
.

glued on durable but flexible DragonRC race-wheels with cell-foam inserts. A
super-package for excellent grip on the most common surfaces.

Oils and grease
Top-quality silicone shock-oil, silicone diff oil and some grease is used to
meet the standard set-up.
