Convert your Cobra GT8-E to a solid axle setup

The Serpent 600961 Solid Axle Center Set offers a direct replacement for the centre gear differential on the Cobra GT8-E, giving a reliable, low-maintenance option for club and national GT-E racing. Instead of relying on high-viscosity oils and extreme diff settings, the solid axle simplifies the drivetrain and sharpens straight-line response.

Quality materials for consistent performance

Constructed from 7075 T6 aluminium, the centre adaptor is matched with lightened spring steel adaptors to keep weight down while maintaining strength. Included in the kit are a 48T composite gear and two NSK bearings to provide smooth operation and long life. The unit is compatible with current centre gears for easy fitment.

Specifications

  • Material: 7075 T6 Aluminum
  • Gear: 48T Composite Gear
  • Bearings: NSK High-Quality Bearings
  • Compatibility: Fits all current center gears

A practical choice for drivers wanting crisper acceleration and firmer braking feel in GT-E racing without complex diff setup.

Is there a break-in procedure for the Serpent 600961?

Run the car gently for a few packs to let bearings seat and gears bed in. Check gear mesh after initial runs and re-tighten hardware if needed.

Will this affect cornering balance?

Removing centre differential action changes traction characteristics, often improving acceleration and braking but altering mid-corner behaviour. Expect different handling and tune suspension and tyre pressures accordingly.

Are replacement gears and bearings available?

The kit uses a 48T composite gear and NSK bearings which are standard parts. Source replacements from Serpent or equivalent suppliers that match the same specifications.

Do I need to modify motor or gearing after fitting?

Motor and pinion choices are usually unchanged, but you may want to adjust final drive or pinion size to suit the new traction and braking characteristics for your track conditions.
