Intro step 1
The Serpent Cobra S811-Be is the next superbly designed offroad car in the Cobra family. The Serpent Cobra buggy was launched in middle of 2010, followed by the Serpent Cobra-T Truggy in may 2011. Now World Champion Billy Easton created another masterpiece, based on his longtime experience in top-level offroad racing.
Intro step 2
The Serpent Cobra-Be follows the same design philosophy as with the gaspowered Serpent buggy and shares most of the same components as well. The whole central section with battery-slots, esc and receiver holder, servomount and motormount, chassisplate, rear wing / wingmount and the bodyshell are the key new developments in the Cobra-Be.
Intro, step 3
Keeping the weight as low as possible, easy access to batteries, ESC and motor, and retaining a perfect balanced and fast car under all circumstances were the main goals to create a race-wining design. This Serpent / Easton design is not about just replacing gaspowered elements with electric power, but a dedicated design which uses the available space in an optimal way, fully aimed at electric power use and ready to cope with extreme power of todays brushless motors.
Gearing / diffs
The front and rear gear-diffs are the same and use a 13T - 44T configuration, which from our test bring the best balance and accelleration.
The central diff uses the 46T main gear.
The new improved V3 coupler system feature a rubber boot and uses 2 larger sealed bearings 13x19x4 and 8x19x6 for maximum stability and durability.
Mud guards

Hinge pin suspension balls
This relieves stress on the hinge pin when adjusting the kick up, or anti squat. Your pin is free to rotate to any angle without binding.
Captured and bolted hinge pins
All hinge pins are either captured or bolted in place. This insures your chances to finish an hour long main event, while battling for the lead.
Lightweight 3.5mm drive shafts
Precision machined spring-steel drive-shafts.
Flanged and serrated wheel nuts
Guarantees that you will not loose a wheel nut in a race
Composite rear wing mount

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.
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.
Lightweight Differentials and center spur.

46T central diff gear.
Carbon fiber Shock towers
4.5 mm thick Carbon shock towers improve visual appeal, however also provide lighter weight.
Suspension brackets aluminium fr and rr
CNC machined suspension brackets front and rear. Very strong and durable, yet lightweight design, keeping the pivot-inserts well captured. Anodised and laser-engraved.
Symmetrical inner pivots
Front and rear pivots are in the same plane. This helps keep the care more neutral under cornering.
Zero scrub radiuses on steering knuckle
This feature helps reduce the jacking effect created by your steering knuckle offset. It provides a more direct feel while keeping the cars chassis more level while turning.

5 mm of wheel base adjustment in the rear from 322.5 to 327.5 mm.
Composite chassis braces
Allows the chassis to flex which helps improve bump handling. Front and rear.
Front bumper
Helps reduce the lawn dart effect on nose down jump landings. Also helps to prevent scrubbing off speed on moguls, and whoop style bumps
Chassis kick-up
Most angle in its class, this will provide more clearance for attacking even the most destroyed jump faces. It will insure you can guide your way up the face without scrubbing off any valuable speed.
Eccentrics on suspension mounts
There is a range of different eccentrics you can use to adjust your kick up in the front of the vehicle as well as the anti squat in the rear.
Long steering tie rods
Based on the bell crank design the rod length has been optimized to be as close to the same length as possible to further reduce bump steer.

Other optional Ackerman plates available.
Angled Bell cranks
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
Captured Servo Saver assembly
Reduces unwanted debris from destroy servo saver faces. Which will prevents any sort of premature servo damage.
