Serpent 811-Be Cobra Buggy EP 2.0 1/8
This new development for Cobra buggy is realized after another full year of racing across the globe, listening to feedback from many (team)-drivers and dedicated testing on many different surfaces. The feedback from the drivers on the Cobra Buggy in general is very good, the durability is rated as best in the market, the shocks are toprated, and the diffs and drivetrain with new gears and larger bearings can now withstand any rigors and will last and last ! According to same drivers a more responsive rear end, combined with a bit more steering would bring the Cobra on the highest level.
Well, the changes as below accomplish just that, and for sure we will continue the superb quality on the kit overall !
Key changes for the 2.0 version
- Improved rear geometry with wider rear lower arms, new uprights and new shock position
- Longer rear shocks and higher rear carbon shocktower for more travel
- Shocks moved to the back, to make access and adjusting easier, and make rear end more stabile and responsive
- rear wing with integrated holders for the ballraced rear anti-roll bar
- lexan mud-guards to mount on lower rear arms
- nylon mud-scrapers mount on the rear uprights
- improved differential gears - as already in the Be version
- larger bearings in steeringblocks and uprights 8X16X5 (2) and 15x21x4 (2),
- transmission using larger bearings 8x19x6 and 13x19x4 and new couplers for extra durability –
Chassisplate
Chassisplate in 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium , with machined pockets to create flex make lighter. Kick-up angle on front for stabile landings. Countersunk holes. Slots to locate the front and rear suspension mounts precisely. Angled sides to increase stiffness. Laser engraved Cobra logo.
Bumper
Aligned with chassis kikc-up for precise landings and to protect front suspension holde rand anti-roll bar.
Chassis stiffners
Composite stiffner 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 . The whole assembly including linkages can be taken off easily and fast in one go, when cleaning the car, or doing maintenance.
Battery-cases / side-guards
The main eyecatchers are the extremely low laydown longtudinal placed battery-packs at each side of the car, being part of the side-guards, securely fastened with a flip-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).
Suspension brackets
Beautifully machined 7075 T6 suspension brackets in anodized, laser angraved. Precision fit for the nylon roll center inserts and pivot balls / pins.
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 and serrated 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
4.5mm thick carbon shocktower with 5 upper positioning holes for the shocks and and 6 holes for roll-center positions. 1 centrally located adjustable bodymount , and 2 forward mounted adjustable bodymounts, all with flip-tops.
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 Ackerman through the entire range of suspension
