Serpent 903601 1/18 Aluminium CVD Shaft Set Track Spec  [SER903601]

Precision aluminium CVD shafts for tight tracks

Tailored for Serpent 1/18 scale cars such as the 966 and 977, the Serpent 903601 aluminium CVD driveshaft set gives a lightweight performance upgrade. Constructed from hard-anodized 7075-T6 aluminium and laser-etched with length and the Serpent logo, these shafts deliver accurate dimensions and a clean finish.

Trimmed weight for sharper on-throttle feel

Compared with spring-steel units, these aluminium driveshafts are around 50% lighter, lowering rotational inertia and improving both acceleration and braking control. The front pair weighs approximately 7.15 grams while the rear pair is about 7.80 grams, helping deliver a more responsive chassis on short runs.

When to run these shafts

Given the tradeoff between weight and toughness, these shafts are best suited to qualifying or short-format racing where responsiveness is the priority. For endurance heats or rough surfaces, fit spring-steel driveshafts to ensure long-term durability.
