But what's happened to the 'Cobra Evo',it's dissapeared...

not sure but the parts will be there to convert an old cobra so maybe worth bagging 1 off ebay for pence like i did.

There will be a new diff soon and some other bits and pieces soon. There is already a hardened idle gear.

Do like I did with mine,ditch the crappy Cobra gearbox and fit a Mad Rat 'box.

Way smoother,way quieter,miles better slipper and diff.
Mine handles big power and goes very well now.

There are issues with both the diff and idler gear. You can reinforce the idler with a 1mm drill bit and fit a rc10 b4 diff in the standard gearbox with the help of a dremel. Neither job is difficult and then you have a strong and reliable gearbox. The problem is that once you do this and end up with a good gearbox, the driveshafts will wear out or the roll pins will snap or fall out of them very quickly. The thing to do here is to fit tamiya dog bones. I forget which ones fit but I think it's the front off a manta ray or terra scorcher. None of these mods are expensive and I have ran mine competetively with a 6.5 and 65c lipos and its never broke.

Anyone got any news on the "new diff and other bits and pieces",i've only seen the basic "cobra sport" spares so far.

I'd be amazed if they bring out a bunch of new parts but not a full kit. Surely the Cobra Evo is coming. Just about all the new stuff is for the Cobra http://www.mardave.co.uk/recently-added.html .... It has to be coming... Maybe

BTW the parts are CHEAP!
