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.

Lightweight 3.5mm drive shafts – Captured universal joints
When overall weight is an issue, why not reduce rotating mass. Equal lenght front and rear. Precision machined spring-steel.

Captured universal joints
The idea here was simple. Guarantees you will finish a race without loosing a pin or set screw. All parts, axles and drive train components have capture pins

Drive ratio 4.3:1
This drive ratio will provide amazing acceleration combined with the low vehicle weight. It is a sure win, to help improve fuel mileage

Lightweight Differentials and center spur.
By reducing the rotating mass, you can further increase the amount of out of the corner acceleration. In turn your engine breathes easy and consumes less fuel.

Steering
Inboard Bell crank Steering arm
This is to provide a tighter fit on the body as well as keep 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
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.

Ackerman 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..

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

Steering-blocks / caster blocks / steering knuckle assembly
Durable moulded composite steeringblocks with standard 10 degree caster blocks.

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

Adjustable wheel base
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.

Large radius 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 angle
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.

Chassis, narrow design
Improves overall ground clearance on sides for minimal chassis dragging. This is an improvement for Jumping and cornering over uneven ground. With less mass out wide the car will pitch less in the corner, but also stay straighter in quick left to right cornering.

Machined chassis 3mm
Light weight chassis helps minimize weight and improve overall vehicle performance. Countersunk holes. Anodised in titanium color and laser engraved Cobra logo.

All suspension mounts are keyed into position
This helps to relieve the mount of any side forces from tumbling in a crash. It take the pressure off the screws and transmission case and puts that force on the chassis.

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.

Captured Servo Saver assembly
Reduces unwanted debris from destroy servo saver faces. Which will prevents any sort of premature servo damage.

One piece radio tray
