Improve Differential Smoothness with Carbide Balls

Hobbyists chasing consistent lap times will appreciate the Serpent 500259 Carbide Differential Balls. Built for 1/8 scale models, these carbide balls resist abrasion and help the differential turn smoothly under competitive loading.

Why Carbide Outlasts Steel

Carbide is much harder than typical steel, which helps the balls resist pitting and wear. That durability means the diff retains its performance characteristics over more running hours.

Who Benefits from This Upgrade

Competitive drivers and demanding hobbyists see the clearest gains, as carbide balls support steady power distribution and reduce the need for frequent diff servicing.

Are Serpent 500259 balls compatible with my diff housing?

They are designed for standard 1/8 scale differentials, but it is good practice to verify the ball diameter and seating arrangement in your specific housing.

How do I check for wear on carbide balls?

Inspect for flat spots or surface damage during routine maintenance and replace if you notice scoring or uneven contact on the ball or race surfaces.

Will these change how my car handles?

They can improve consistency in handling by reducing wear related changes in diff behaviour, but overall handling still depends on suspension and tyre setup.

Any special storage or care advice?

Keep them clean and dry before installation and store spares in a small sealed container to avoid contamination that could affect seating in the diff.
