Fine-Tune Your Viper 988-e with a Serpent 20T Pinion

The Serpent SER904175 Pinion 20T is a straightforward upgrade to maintain smooth drive on your Viper 988-e. Its 20-tooth profile is balanced for steady acceleration and consistent gear contact during use.

Where It Works Best

This pinion is tailored to the Viper 988-e series and slips into compatible drivetrains with minimal fuss. It is suitable for casual bashing as well as timed practice laps where dependable gearing is needed.

Installation Notes

Align the pinion carefully with the spur gear and set the gear mesh so there is slight clearance under load. Check mesh and fasteners after the first few runs to prevent premature wear.

Can I change tooth count for different gearing?

Yes, swapping to a different tooth count changes final drive ratio. Make sure the replacement maintains correct shaft fit and does not foul the chassis or spur gear clearance.

How often should I check the pinion?

Inspect the pinion and mesh after high-load sessions or if you notice increased noise. Routine checks every few outings catch wear before it affects performance.

Is lubrication needed on the pinion?

Light grease on the spur gear face can help reduce wear, but avoid heavy lubes on the teeth that attract dirt. Use RC-specific gear grease sparingly.
