- larger bearings in steeringblocks and uprights 8X16X5 (2) and 15x21x4 (2)
- new transmission using larger bearings 8x19x6 and 13x19x4 and new couplers for extra durability

The following main features are added / changed on the Team Edition gaspowered Cobra-B.

Pro-version 5.5mm alu shocktowers in 7075-T6 alumnium, in a superb machined design, grey anodised, superlight but still very strong too. Both front and rear.

Hard coated shock-caps are now standard both front and rear.

The use of larger, stronger bearings on all 4 corners of the car makes the Cobra even more reliable. Stainless steel bearings 8x16x5 (2) and 15x21x4 (2) . Combined with new spring-steel wheel-axles.

The new V3 diff-coupler and pinion system with 2 larger bearings also improves reliability a lot. Stainless steel bearings 8x19x6 and 13x19x4.

The lower rear wing, as already in use on the E-Cobra is now also fitted to the GP Buggy.

The machined lowered pockets of the chassisplate have been revised to reduce flex, thus creating a stiffer / stronger chassis.

Ready in time for the 2012 season, the Cobra-B TE will ship 2nd week march or even a little before.
