Track-Oriented Bladeless Outdrives from Serpent

The Serpent 401744 bladeless spool outdrives are intended to improve drivetrain robustness and steering precision. Built for the Project 4X and compatible with Eryx models, the bladeless approach removes a frequent weak point in traditional driveshaft systems. Fabricated from spring steel, they offer strong wear resistance while maintaining practical weight for racing use.

Balanced Flex for Predictable Steering

Crafted with precise tolerances, these outdrives provide controlled flex to absorb shock without permanent deformation. Eliminating the driveshaft blade reduces play in the assembly, leading to more repeatable turn-in under braking and cornering. The result is steadier handling through race stints.

Fitment Advice and Intended Use

Although optimised for Project 4X, these spool outdrives integrate with Serpent Eryx cars that share the spool mounting. They suit drivers who want a dependable drivetrain component for regular track sessions and who value consistent handling over time.

Compare the spool interface and pin arrangement on your car to the Project 4X pattern. Measure clearance and confirm compatible fastener sizes to ensure a straightforward swap.
Spring steel offers some resilience, but severe bends can weaken the part. Replace any outdrive that shows permanent deformation rather than attempting repair.
Consider matching lightened drivetrain components and reinforcing fasteners to complement the bladeless spool and achieve a balanced upgrade package.
They do not change internal diff mechanics, but the reduced play and mass can alter load transfer, so minor diff oil or setup adjustments may improve balance.
