Practical Gains

Durability: Designed to last through regular competitive use.
Compatibility: Direct fit for Serpent Viper 988 1/8 GP clutch assemblies.

What clutch adjustments pair well with this shoe?

Start with conservative shoe spring tension and adjust the clutch bell spacing in small steps to match the Centax shoe's engagement. Log changes for repeatable results.

Does the shoe need bedding in before racing?

Yes, a short bedding process of controlled runs helps stabilise friction characteristics and reduces early glazing. Avoid hard launches until the surface evens out.

Can I mix this with different springs?

Mixing springs is a common tuning method. Pair the Centax shoe with springs that match your desired engagement point while keeping safety margins to avoid slipping.

How often should I inspect the shoe?

Check the shoe after each race meeting for wear, glazing or chipping. Regular inspection helps you catch issues before they affect lap times.

Is professional fitting recommended?

Most experienced hobbyists can fit the Centax shoe, but a technician can help with fine tuning clutch timing and matching springs for optimal performance.
