Track-Grade Magnesium Differential Case

The Serpent 402003 Magnesium Gear Differential Housing is made to reduce weight while keeping strength where it matters for 1/10 scale touring cars. Machined from magnesium, this housing improves the vehicle weight distribution and supports consistent drivetrain behaviour under hard running. Built with tight tolerances, it helps ensure smooth gear mesh and extended service life.

Why Use Magnesium in a Differential Housing?

Magnesium gives a strong strength-to-weight advantage that helps reduce rotating mass and improve acceleration response. It also offers good rigidity for accurate gear alignment, helping to limit unwanted flex and wear during lap after lap of track use.

Performance and Durability for Club Racers

For racers focused on reliable lap times, the Serpent 402003 combines low mass and robust design to minimise friction and wear. This housing suits drivers who tune their setups for consistent handling and want components that hold up under regular competitive use.

Many 1/10 scale touring car setups use a similar differential pattern, but you should verify mounting dimensions and spline interfaces against your chassis. Measure your current housing and compare before fitting.
Standard differential oils and greases used in RC gear diffs are appropriate. Avoid aggressive solvents and keep lubrication fresh to limit wear and maintain smooth operation.
Keep the housing clean and dry after wet runs and use mild anti corrosion treatments if required. Regular inspection and light maintenance will extend the component life.
