right setting for smooth performance, but when you hit the throttle hard it will
accelerate the Cobra like crazy. Gearing 16/19T
2-speed
gearbox automatic 2-speed gearbox with centrifugal shoes. The gearbox comes
straight from the Viper 977 onroad 1/8 car. Gearing
45-49T
Airfilter: The foam airfilter sits very low in the car, and
snugfits tight next to the fueltank.
Steeringblocks assembly
Composite steeringblocks combined with C-hubs for precise steering. Black
hard steel wheel-axles with large size bearings , precision threaded aluminum
wheel-hubs with offset and aluminium wheel nuts.
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, so they
wont drop out.
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 3 upper positioning
holes for the shocks and and 3 holes for roll-center positions. 1 centrally
located adjustable bodymount , and 2 forward mounted adjustable
bodymounts.
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
Ackermann plate aluminium 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.

operation.
Shocktower rear 4.0mm thick carbon shocktower, integrated

Wingmount and
bodymounts rear Polycarbonate rear low aero wing. Central rear bodymount
