Fine-Tune Centax 2/3 Clutches with Serpent SER1388

The Serpent SER1388 5x10 Ceramic Thrust Bearing is intended to refine your Centax clutch behaviour by lowering internal drag and improving durability. The ceramic ball construction reduces mass and helps maintain smoother movement during repeated runs.

Why Ceramic Matters for RC Clutches

Ceramic balls resist wear and run with less friction than conventional bearings, giving steadier engagement and longer intervals between replacements. For competitive hobby use, this upgrade supports consistent clutch feel lap after lap.

Compatibility and Fitting Tips

This thrust bearing is compatible with Centax 2 and Centax 3 clutch systems and is designed for an easy swap. Ensure parts are clean and aligned during installation to avoid uneven wear.

Will this bearing work with both Centax 2 and Centax 3?

Yes, the SER1388 is intended for use in both Centax 2 and Centax 3 clutch designs without extra modification.

Do ceramic bearings need special lubrication?

Ceramic bearings often perform well with a light, appropriate bearing oil; however many run fine with minimal lubrication. Avoid over-oiling which can attract dust.

Are there any running surfaces to avoid with this upgrade?

The bearing itself is inside the clutch and unaffected by track surface, but keep dirt and grit away from the clutch area to preserve bearing life.

How often should I inspect the thrust bearing?

Check the bearing during routine clutch maintenance or after any impact; look for roughness or play and replace if performance degrades.
