Serpent is introducing the super compact gear differential for the Spyder series of 1/10 scale offroad cars.
It fits the Spyder SRX-2 RM, MM and the soon coming SC. The gear differential features a very compact composite housing, consisting of 2 sides and the central 51T gear. The small 14T and large 28T gears are made in sintered metal for durability and super-smooth diff action due to the specially designed gear shape.
The cross-shafts are made in aluminum with flat spots for fitment. The shaped silicone seals seats in the groove and will provide a leak proof assembly. One of the housing sides has 4 small metal threaded shaped nuts, which key into slots and sit flush with the case. The 4 bolts are inserted from the other side. The diff adapters are made in Serpent Spring Steel SSS, and are machined lighter on both sides.
The whole unit comes at a weight of only 28,9 grams, without oil. As a starting point we suggest to use 7000 cst silicone oil. The Spyder gear diff can be fitted instead of the ball differential without any other modification.The full color manual and exploded view is available online.
[…] next company (TLR, Serpent, Kyosho or TeknoRC) that makes a 2wd sct with a gear diff for competitive off road racing will take my money. I know of at least one other company […]
