Serpent introduces new Centax clutches for 1/10 and 1/8 onroad.
The development of the Centax clutch continues. Serpent’s designer Ron Ton was the innovator of this revolutionary clutch system in the mid 90-ties. Soon it became the industry standard in onroad racing, as all other brands adopted similar systems. Many variations have been tried, but in the end it still comes close to the original idea.
In the latest development the tapered shape has been moved from the flywheel to the pressure plate instead, improving punch and reliability. Serpent continues the use of the hard Centax spring to set preload, as its less critical and fast to adjust.
The 1/10 scale Centax True motion clutch has the red shoe and steel clutch housing. Black and yellow shoes can be tried as well, as well as the alu or light steel clutch housing.
The 1/8 scale Centax True motion clutch, has the black shoe and aluminum cutch housing as standard. Yellow and red shoes can be tried as well, as well as the steel or light steel clutch housing.
Additional features Fits all Serpent cars and some other brands as well.
