Upgrade the Viper 988 with a Precision Serpent 903667 Bearing Block

The Serpent 903667 bearing block is designed for Viper 988 owners who want tighter transmission control and longer service life. Built from durable aluminium, this unit delivers consistent support to the 2-speed assembly while keeping weight modest. It matches the Viper 988 1/8 GP geometry for a straightforward fit and dependable track performance.

Why Aluminium Works Well Here

Aluminium offers a strong yet lightweight solution for high-load parts. The Serpent 903667 reduces flex in the gearbox area and helps maintain alignment under hard acceleration and cornering, which benefits handling and component longevity.

Direct Fitment to the Viper 988

Manufactured to fit the Viper 988 series, the part installs with minimal fuss and precise tolerances, trimming out unnecessary play that can sap drivetrain efficiency. The tidy fit makes servicing easier and keeps transmission parts running true.

Less Maintenance, More Track Time

Upgrading to a quality bearing block like the Serpent 903667 can reduce the frequency of rebuilds and adjustments, letting you spend more time refining setup and lapping rather than fixing wear-related issues.

Yes, the Serpent 903667 supports common aftermarket 2-speed gear layouts for the Viper 988, but always check gear mesh and clearances during installation.
Weight change is minimal; the main effect is a stiffer transmission mount which can make steering responses feel crisper rather than shifting overall balance significantly.
Typical hobby tools and the correct driver bits are sufficient. Precision torque and checking alignment with a straight edge will help get the best result.
Use a mild threadlocker on steel fasteners to prevent loosening under vibration, but avoid high-strength formulas that complicate future servicing.
