Serpent 500344 Steel Idler Upgrade for SRX2

The Serpent 500344 idler gear is a heavy duty steel replacement crafted to match the SRX2 chassis. Its 27 teeth give accurate engagement and the steel construction resists wear, giving racers a more consistent drivetrain feel during competitive running or regular track sessions.

Advantages of Using a Steel Idler

Material: High-strength steel for extended service life and reduced wear under load.
Compatibility: Made specifically for SRX2 layouts to ensure correct fit and smooth operation.
Performance: 27 teeth deliver reliable gear contact for steady power transfer and less slop.
Usage: Suitable for racing setups and everyday tuning where durability matters.

Will this fit older SRX2 kit versions?

It is engineered for SRX2 geometry, but some older or modified kits may need a quick check for clearance; inspect your idler mount and surrounding parts before installing.

How do I install the steel idler without binding?

Ensure the idler shaft is straight, check shims and spacing, and verify gear mesh with the spur and pinion to avoid tight spots; small adjustments to shimming usually solve mesh issues.

Does steel make a noticeable difference on wear?

Yes, steel resists rounding and deformation better than softer materials, which helps maintain consistent mesh and reduces the frequency of replacements under heavy use.
