The Serpent Cobra Buggy 2.2 is a result of continuous development and intensive cooperation with the key team-drivers.

New Serpent teamdriver ran the Cobra 2.2 version at the recent Neo 2015 race in the UK, qualified 6th overall and finished 11th in the A-main . Great results after only so few practice laps with the Cobra, in such worldclass field.

The changes for the 2.2 version are not big, but very important to make you go around the track easier and faster.
- Upright buggy 1/8 V2 (2)
- Wheelaxle buggy v2 (2)
- Driveshaft buggy 98mm (2)
- Wheel-axle boot rubber (2)
- Antiroll bar front 2.3mm

and below developments are continued also in the 2.2 version.
- plus 4 chassis: the hard anodised chassis is 4mm longer in the rear, creating a more stable rear end, especially better on tracks with short bumps and rough surface. The great handling on smooth, flat surfaces remains !
- longer alu rear brace: the longer alu brace also helps to make the rear end more stable. The shorter nylon or alu version can also still be fitted.
- longer rear central shaft: to suit the longer chassis a longer rear central shaft is needed (which is actually the same as the one used in Cobra buggy 1.0 )
- hard coated shockcaps: the hardcoated aluminium shockcaps can withstand the rigors of crashes better
- aluminium 14 dgr casterblocks The Cobra buggy has a lot of steering already which makes it turn very fast. The 14 degree caster blocks help to smoothen steering out a bit, still lot of steering , but easier, less direct, creating a more stable front end.
