Chassis

Very narrow 3mm 7075T6 aluminium chassis, with lots of machining on the upper face to make it lighter in strategic locations and to control flex. Kick-up front for proper landings. Angled side to increase cornering clearance, and secure and easy mounting side guards with 5 screws. Countersunk holes,  chamfered sleeve for flywheel, pockets to position the suspension brackets.  Grey anodized with Cobra Logo engraved.

Overall the Truggy is designed to keep the weight very central  and near to the centerline as possible, to create great


Central diff / brake / spur-gear guard

Optimised central gear-diff with  50T super-hard spur-gear .  Very small, compact design to reduce rotating mass to the max.  

Spur Gear Guard
Helps prevent the spur gear from slinging debris all over the inside of the car and especially into the air filter. Works for rain and water puddles.

Piston Braking system
Provides more stopping power than you could have ever imagined before with a whole lot less servo power. Also is fully adjustable with 3 types of pistons
solid, O-ring type, spring type.  In turn you can adjust your bias or braking feel to your liking in more ways than ever before.

Fiber Glass brake disks with oversized fronts.   Brake plate springs will keep the plates spread open to insure not un-wanted dragging of the brake discs.




Transmission shafts

Durable but light and thin Serpent spring steel, laser engraved shafts.

Very long and durable composite lower wishbones, combined with upper spring-steel trackrods.  2 lower shock-mount positions.  Downstops can be used as needed. Pivotball type anti-roll bar rods.  


Front steering / servo saver / angled

Innovative angled front steering  assembly 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.

Adjustable spring loaded servo-saver system with interchangeable Ackermann plates. With the design of the steering bell cranks when changing the Ackerman you will not need to adjust your steering tie rods. You simply will only need to adjust your end points on your radio..  Very easy to access and set-up.  

The Inboard Bell crank keeps the lever and linkage inside the car. It will aid in the prevention of damage to the steering system.   Zero scrub radiuses on steering knuckle, helps reduce the jacking effect created by your steering knuckle offset. It provides a more direct fell while keeping the cars chassis more level while turning.  

The front roll center can be changed quickly by moving the steering knuckle shims to their appropriate locations.
