Precision Tungsten Balls for Ball Differentials

Improve the longevity and function of your 1/10 touring car ball differential with Serpent 401122 tungsten carbide balls. At 3.15mm diameter, these balls use tungsten carbide to resist deformation and hold their profile under load. They are a sensible upgrade for racers who want less downtime and steadier handling on fast circuits.

How Tungsten Carbide Helps

Tungsten carbide is highly resistant to flat spotting and wear that can occur under repeated stress. Using these balls in your differential promotes smoother gear engagement and extends the maintenance intervals for your drivetrain. The net effect is more consistent lap times and reduced component replacement.

Suited to Competitive Use

These tungsten carbide balls suit drivers preparing for competitive events or frequent practice sessions. They keep the differential predictable during hard cornering and long runs, making setup tweaks simpler and performance more repeatable.

Can I use these balls in a sealed diff housing?

Yes, they work in sealed housings provided the diff accepts 3.15mm balls; ensure there is compatible lubrication and sealing to avoid contamination.

Will these balls change diff break-in behavior?

Tungsten carbide balls typically require the same gentle break-in as steel balls. Run a few light sessions to seat components and then inspect for even wear.

Are there any downsides to using tungsten carbide?

They are harder and longer lasting, but can be more expensive than steel. Also ensure mating surfaces are in good condition to avoid uneven wear elsewhere in the diff.

Do these require different maintenance intervals?

Maintenance intervals may be extended thanks to the harder material, but regular inspection of the diff and lubrication checks are still recommended after heavy use.
