Track-focused outdrives from Serpent

The Serpent 601281 lightweight differential outdrive set is engineered for circuit use, offering consistent performance for 1/8th on-road GT cars. It lowers internal resistance so your diffs run cleaner lap after lap.

Balanced design with centring cross pin

These outdrives combine a reduced mass profile with an integrated centring cross pin to simulate a firmer axle effect while preserving differential movement. The result is fewer instances of internal gear bind and a calmer drivetrain response.

Advantages for competitive setups

Enhanced Durability: Tougher wear characteristics extend service intervals between rebuilds.
Smoother Operation: Less binding means a more linear response from throttle to tyre.
Improved Lap Delivery: Lower drag from the diff contributes to steadier, repeatable lap times.

Are these outdrives a straight swap on standard 1/8th diffs?

In most cases yes, but confirm spline compatibility and mounting detail with your diff housing before fitting.

Will they alter wear on pinion or spur gears?

By reducing binding you can lower stress on surrounding gears, which often results in more even wear across the gearbox.

Recommended maintenance after installation?

Check gear mesh and backlash, relube the diff with the appropriate grease, and inspect the centring pin for any play after initial running.
