Precision-machined ball diff shaft for Serpent chassis

The Serpent 401438 Ball Differential Shaft Male is produced to tight tolerances to refine handling and extend service intervals for competitive models. Its accurate finish promotes reliable diff performance under stress.

Improved handling and longevity

This shaft reduces unwanted play in the differential, delivering smoother engagement and longer component life. Properly matched with diff balls and grease, it helps stabilise traction and steering response.

Compatibility and easy fitting

The Serpent 401438 lines up with several Serpent diff housings and connects with common assembly parts. Fitting is straightforward and suited to anyone experienced with standard diff rebuilds.

How do I tell if the shaft needs replacing?

Look for excessive play, scoring, or irregular diff behaviour. If handling becomes unpredictable or you find visual wear, replace the shaft to restore performance.

Are there specific torque settings for installation?

Use factory torque specs for your differential assembly and avoid over-tightening. Correct clamping ensures the Serpent 401438 operates without binding.

Which grease works best with this shaft?

A quality diff grease suited to your driving conditions is recommended. Lighter grease for sharper steering, heavier grease for more traction stability.

Can I use hardened aftermarket shafts instead?

Hardened aftermarket shafts are an option, but confirm fit and compatibility. Mismatched dimensions can affect diff geometry and handling.

How often should I inspect the diff after racing?

Inspect after every intense event or if you notice handling changes. Check for debris, wear, and fresh lubrication to keep the Serpent 401438 performing well.
