Speed-controller

The electronic speed controller is a fully Waterproof 120A from Dragon RC with a small footprint which fits the SRX8e RTR like a glove. The new modern design is very small and attractive looking. Top-quality soft silicone covered cables.

Brushless motor

The Dragon RC brushless sensorless motor is a strong 1900kv unit which gives lots of torque and amazing top speed. and is anodized in same bronze color as the other alu parts of the car.

Chassis

Chassis plate in 3mm 6061-T6 aluminum. Kick-up angle on front for stabile landings. Countersunk holes. Slots to locate the front and rear suspension mounts precisely. Angled sides to increase stiffness.

Bumper

Aligned with chassis kick-up for precise landings and to protect front suspension holder and anti-roll bar.

Chassis stiffeners

Composite stiffener front and rear, to give extra stiffness, but still allow some flex as needed.

Central radio / servo mount

Composite compact radio box which offers good space for the steering servo and the receiver.

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 Velcro strap, 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.

Motor 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 aluminum motor mount. 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 ( except for the truggy/monster truck motors).

Steering blocks assembly

Composite steering blocks combined with 10 degr C-hubs for precise steering. Spring steel wheel-axles with large size bearings and larger inner with precision threaded aluminum wheel-hubs with offset . Flanged and serrated wheel nuts to guarantee that you will not lose a wheel nut in a race.

Front suspension

Durable oversized lower suspension arms in strong composite nylon. On the lower side the down stops screws are mounted. The lower shock-mounting pins are secured with a small grubscrew from the bottom.

Front and rear anti-roll bar

The front anti-roll bar system consist of a spring steel bend wire, which is guided through the diff-cases and runs in steel adaptors. The wire is linked to the lower suspension arm, with a captured adjustable threaded pivot ball, for very precise and low friction operation and easy tuning.

Shock tower and body mounts front

4mm thick 6061T6 aluminum anodized shock tower with 3 upper positioning holes for the shocks and 4 holes for roll-center positions. 1 centrally located body mount.

Angled steering system / servo saver

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

Rear suspension arms

Durable longer oversized lower suspension arms in strong composite nylon. On the lower side the down stops screws are mounted. The lower shock-mounting pins are secured with a small grubscrew from the bottom.

Mud-guards

Optional are the composite mud guards, which can mount to the lower suspension arms, and will keep dirt away from your anti-roll bars transmission and wheels.

Rear uprights assembly

Composite uprights with 3 upper roll-center positions. Strong steel track-rods with L/R threading and strong ball joints to pre-set camber. Hard steel wheel-axles with large size bearings and larger inner ones with precision threaded aluminum wheel-hubs with offset. Flanged and serrated wheel nuts to guarantee that you will not lose a wheel nut in a race.

Shock tower rear

4mm thick 6061-T6 aluminum shock tower, integrated into the rear section for extra stiffness, with 4 upper positioning holes for the shocks and 4 holes for roll-center positions.

Wing mount and body mounts rear

Composite rear straight MD wing, with a strong nylon mount, with angle adjustment. Central rear body mount.

Shock absorbers RCM big-bore 16mm

Anodized aluminum shock bodies with durable 4mm shock-rods. Adjustable nut to set the ride height setting. Shocks use large diameter membranes and large diameter O-rings and bushings to create a supersmooth and leak-proof package. Large diameter pistons are held in place by a nut on the polished shock-rods tops. Open type spring retainer to let dirt out easy.

Color-coded progressive shock springs are supplied for the 1st standard set-up and all springs are grinded flat top and bottom and checked individually for tension and length and are matched.

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 marketplace. Hardened spring-steel diff-coupler 13T with connector running in 2 oversized bearings The Cobra-E uses a 13T / 44T combo Gearing and a 44T central spur gear. This drive ratio will provide amazing acceleration combined with the low vehicle weight.

Front and rear drive

The front has captured driveshafts using a CVD system. The rear has durable brown S2 steel driveshafts with hard steel pins.

Brown S2 steel transmission parts

The front and rear strong hard black steel cardan shafts connect the differentials .
