The new lightweight shaft system saves a lot of weight, 10g in total! This is a very substantial weight saving, especially on a spinning part.
On top of this there is a new way to assemble the 18 teeth pulley. The new adapter is screwed onto the shaft and runs ultra-true!
It’s hard anodized surface means that it has an extremely low wear as well.
This 2-speed shaft system is proven by our factory team and was used at last years races already.
To unscrew the pulley adapter, you need a 10mm open-ended spanner and a 3mm allen key.

Alvaro: "Last weekend we attended the last race of the season of our National Championship 1/8 On Road Nitro at Madrid at the amazing Arca Track. Difficult and technical track where no error is allowed because of the high speed corners with close track protections!
We arrived on Friday to free practice. Our Serpent 989 was perfect and we made only small modifications from our base setup from last tests at this track. So We focus on tuning the engines and little else.
We are proud and excited to announce the signing of the next generation in RC. Italian young gun Jonathan Gandin!
An on-road specialist, Jonathan will be contending major and local races using his Serpent line up of cars.
Already breaking records and taking a Win,Tq and fastest lap with his Serpent Viper 989 40th Anniversary, you can be sure to see more great results in the future!
We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.
Jonathan had the following to say:
I’m really happy to joining in the team, I’ll do my best to achieve the best results.
See you soon on the track!...
Hello racers,
I was able to take part in my first
international race for a long time, this being
the GTS race at the fantastic Gubbio track
in ltaly and as always the track was in
perfect condition.
We had some new engines from MAX power to
run in and then start looking for a setup
for my Srx8 Tq car.
