Upgrade Drive Efficiency with Serpent Magnesium Outdrives

The Serpent 402002 Magnesium Gear Differential Outdrive Set gives modelers a solid upgrade path to lower drivetrain weight while retaining strength. Crafted from magnesium alloy, these outdrives help deliver consistent performance for hobbyists focused on lap time and durability.

Why Magnesium Works Well in Outdrives

Magnesium delivers a notable weight saving compared to heavier metals while maintaining adequate stiffness for drivetrain loads. That balance helps vehicles accelerate with less inertia and improves overall responsiveness, especially in tight, technical tracks.

Compatibility Notes and Installation Advice

These outdrives are compatible with many 1/10 scale RC vehicles, suiting a variety of chassis types. Fitment is generally simple for someone comfortable with standard differential servicing, allowing quick swaps and immediate drivetrain feedback.

Magnesium can be very durable when used in the right application. It provides a good trade off between weight and strength, but routine inspection is important after heavy use.
No specialised tools are normally required beyond standard differential service tools and basic hand tools. Follow torque settings for your specific chassis to avoid overloading fasteners.
Models that benefit most are higher performance touring and on-road cars where reducing rotating mass improves acceleration and handling precision.
Keep dissimilar metals separated with appropriate grease or barriers and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture; regular cleaning helps prevent contact corrosion.
