Sideguards
Strong composite sideguards keep most of the dirt out and offer good protection for the valuable gear inside. The sideguards also double act as side stiffners and influence the flex of the chassis overall.
Bumper
Aligned with chassis kick-up for precise landings and to protect front suspension holder and anti-roll bar.
Chassis stiffners
Composite stiffner front and rear, to give extra stiffness, but still allow some flex as needed for extra traction.#
Central radio / servo mount
Composite compact composite radiobox which offers good space for the steering and throttle,-brake servo, the receiver and the receiver battery. The whole assembly including linkages can be taken off easily and fast in one go, when cleaning the car, or doing maintenance.
Central low dual brake system
The SRX8 features a low positioned dual brake system with lightweight glass-fiber disks with spring loaded race-brake pads. Very effective stopping power.
Engine
The Serpent pull start engine is perfect for the SRX8 buggy. The outstanding quality level, high performance, combined with easy starting and long lasting runtime, makes this engine the ideal partner to start racing. The engine is mounted securely on machined aluminium engine mounts.
The foam dual action air filter sits very low in the car, and snug fits tight next to the fuel tank. The large opening in the body for refueling will also allow enough air getting to the filter
Polished tuned pipe system
The Serpent polished inline tuned pipe system works really well with the engine and produces a sharp and powerful tune. Fire it up !
Clutch
The famous Serpent off-road clutch in 3 shoe version has the right setting for smooth performance, but when you hit the throttle hard it will accelerate the SRX8 like crazy.

Compact gear differentials
Large Volume Differentials and oversized gears.
One of those must haves are high volume large internal gear diffs. We manned up here, and went back to the drawing board and completely re-tooled our differential approach. The internal gears are a staggering Mod 1.25 which puts them at the largest in the market place. Hardened spring-steel diff-coupler 13T with connector running in 2 oversized bearings The Cobra-E uses a 13T / 44T combo Gearing and a 46T central spur gear with a 13T clutch bell.
