Serpent 811 Cobra Buggy 2.0 buggy

Serpent introduce the S811 Cobra 2.0, the evolution of the successful cobra platform. The buggy incorporates many subtile changes to make for more steering and a more responsive rear end. This was achieved by a wider rear end with a new geometry, more rear traction and a wider sweet spot. The updated rear shocks with longer piston rod and longer shock bodies moved to the rear of the wishbones and are protected by new lexan dirt shields. Also included in the kit is the Avenger cab forward body, four white colour disc wheels as well as larger bearings in the steering blocks, rear uprights and transmission as seen in the previous TE version.

Pro-Line Ion 1/8th buggy tire

The Pro-Line Ion 1/8th buggy indoor clay tire was designed from the ground-up and requires zero break-in tine. The unique molecular structure tread design provides forward and side traction and with the super-low tread height, maximum wear is reached by the alternating dual center lugs. The ION is also extremely easy to drive due to the super-smooth side tread that flows organically out of the tire sidewall. The new tire already proved its performance by taking the ROAR National Championship in Electric 1/8th buggy in the hands of Ty Tessmann.
