Serpent introduce volume-compensating SRX8 gear diff
Serpent have introduced new gear differentials with foam volume compensators. Coming from the mind of Serpent designer Billy Easton, the diff cases offer additional holes that can take foam inserts to compensate the increase in oil volume once the diff fluid becomes warmer during use. As the foam inserts become compressed the internal pressure of the oil remains at a controlled level which results in a more consistent diff action even in hour-long mains and at high ambient temperatures. Included with the diffs, that are available as 44T front or rear as well as 46T centre diff, come slightly curved spring steel main gears and pinions as well as lightened spring steel outdrives.
