Gimar SRX8GT clutch bell kit

Coming from 1/8th GT specialists Gimar is a new clutch bell kit designed for the Serpent SRX8GT. The clutch bell is machined from high-quality 7075 Ergal material and nickel-treated for best possible performance and durability. The clutch pinions were specially developed for shorter tracks as they are popular in China, with 16T and 17T 1st gear and 20T to 22T 2nd gear pinions being available. Included in the kit come four high-quality ball bearings and a bearing hub. The clutch is a direct fit with the SRX8GT’s standard clutch or the newly introduced adjustable #601163 clutch system. The pinions however work exclusively with the Gimar clutch bell. In addition the clutch bell and pinion combination can be used with other 0.8 module gear trains such as the ones of SWorkz, IGT8 or Hong Nor.
