Lightweight Magnesium Upgrade for SRX8 GT Rear

To sharpen handling on the Serpent SRX8 GT, the 601151 rear top left and right bearingblocks are a focused upgrade. Their magnesium construction trims roughly 6 grams per pair versus stock units, improving weight distribution and responsiveness.

Engineered for Track Durability

Magnesium offers a good strength-to-weight ratio, helping these bearingblocks withstand race loads while keeping mass low. That combination supports repeatable performance across multiple runs.

Compatibility Notes and Installation Tips

These bearingblocks are made specifically for the SRX8 GT and slot into the original mounting points. Basic tools are all you need to swap them in, though a quick check of bearing preload and fastener torque after installation is advised.

Specifications

  • Material: Magnesium
  • Compatibility: Serpent SRX8 GT
  • Weight Reduction: 6 grams per pair

A sensible upgrade for racers seeking a lighter rear end, these magnesium bearingblocks help the SRX8 GT feel more agile without compromising durability.

How much does handling change after the swap?

Handling typically feels tighter with improved rotation due to reduced rear mass, especially noticeable on medium to high grip surfaces.

Are different screws required for magnesium parts?

You can reuse the stock fasteners in most cases, but check for any thread wear and use threadlocker where recommended to prevent loosening.

Can I run these on rough outdoor tracks?

They are suitable for many outdoor tracks, but inspect after heavy impacts; magnesium is light but can be more prone to damage from severe hits than steel alternatives.

Should I change any rear setup after installing these?

You may notice a need to slightly adjust rear roll or damping to rebalance handling; small tweaks to ride height or shock settings can optimise results.
