Same width as the nitro body. The electric just has the rear shock tower behind the body instead of under it and the front looks less scrunched up. Far better imo.

That's great! So is there any reason it couldn't be cut for a nitro?

I do not think the shock tower reliefs line up properly as the chassis lengths are different. You might be able to just cut the etruggy body short and you may have to adapt something from the etruggy on the body posts, but it is theoretically possible.

Meant to post this on the electric off-road section: this thread was helpful in deciding to purhcase a quality well taken care of Serpent e-truggy. Will be a joint Christmas present for my son and I; really looking forward to using it soon. Can tell its really high quality with top features.

Great, thanks for choosing us!!

let get ??? going what is your setup in your serpent truggy
what lipos have you run to make a long main and what brushless combo did you used and what setting did you used n your esc I am keen to see what every on setup are

Hi All,

I've spent some time reading this through.

I know that there is a nitro truggy to electric truggy conversion BUT is it possible to convert a Cobra 811 E-Buggy to E-Truggy?

I can't justify the cost of a complete truggy kit and already have a good e-buggy here.

Has anyone done the buggy to truggy conversion?

Thanks for reading!

I have not seen one done. Find ya a used truggy and convert it. That's what I'm doing.

Be expensive, I think. You'd need a new chassis, battery trays, rear brace, rear coupler, body mounts, front and rear arms and dogbones, camber links, steering links, front shock tower, front shocks, possibly rear shocks, rear shock tower, body, pinions and ring gears for front and rear gearboxes. Very little is the same.

You could do a redneck conversion, and just slap truggy tires on a buggy, fab some body mounts, and cut down a real truggy body to make a too-short, too-narrow truggy. Have to gear way down on the pinion though.

I just clicked buy it now on a nice used example of this truggy. I had lined myself up to get the tekno kit but I'm saving a bit of cash this way and by all accounts the cobra is quite durable as well. My only concern is that race durable is probably quite different to bashing durable right.

On the steering blocks, 600611 Alu. 0*. Is there a plastic version?

I've read through all the pages and just want to clarify if the tekin 2000kv Truggy motor will fit the serpent Truggy kit version?

Thanks for the email Tim? The tekin 2000kv motor does fit

Yes 2000kv motor fits great and what a couple of us are running in our etruggies.

No Problem Steve. This is still the best E-Truggy ever in my opinion! Miss mine alot!
