Precision magnesium rear blocks for SRX8 GT

The Serpent 601149 Bearingblock Rear Low Left + Right Magnesium SRX8 GT is a precision replacement aimed at reducing rear-end weight. Manufactured from magnesium, the pair replaces the standard blocks and lowers weight by 18.1 grams per pair. The result is a lighter rotating assembly that can improve the car's reaction to inputs.

Performance reasons to choose magnesium

Magnesium achieves a low mass while retaining sufficient rigidity for racing parts. Installing these blocks reduces unsprung and rotational mass, helping achieve a sharper steering response under load.

Compatibility with the Cobra SRX8 GT chassis

These bearingblocks are specifically produced to suit the Serpent Cobra SRX8 GT platform and use the original mounting points for an accurate fit. They are suitable for replacing worn components or upgrading to reduce weight without chassis modification.

Are these blocks a direct swap for the OEM parts?

Yes, they are designed to match the factory footprint for the Cobra SRX8 GT and should install using the same fixings and location points.

Will the magnesium parts corrode faster than aluminium?

Magnesium can be susceptible to corrosion if exposed to harsh chemicals; routine cleaning and controlled environments help prolong service life.

Should I change tuning after fitting them?

Minor setup tweaks such as ride height or diff settings may be beneficial to accommodate the slightly altered mass distribution. Try small adjustments and evaluate on track.

How durable are these under race conditions?

They are engineered for hobby racing use and offer good durability, but inspect after heavy impacts and replace if you spot deformation or cracking.
