Serpent 989 Centax Clutch Build 

Great video, please keep them coming I’m new to the sport and there aren’t a lot of videos like this. Thank you.

Ah, the thought of a slipping Centax gives me PTSD from the days when it was first introduced (in the Serpent Excel/9000 series IIRC). In his first race weekend with it, A good friend burned 3 sets of clutch shoes which drove him crazy. I couldn't have been more happy running the conventional clutch in my Sprint 6000 series, for the short time I ran 8th scale back then, lol. These days, everything (except off-road buggies) use a Centax, so I suppose the days of burning clutches are under control - especially with informative videos like this!

Thanks for the video. Your explanations are very clear and helpful. Do you have a video on how to change the pignon gears? Thanks in advanced

Awesome home work.

Outstanding Content 🏎💨 🐍

Hi Jeff very useful video. Thanks. I’ve remove spring if I do not use the engine for a long period as it happening now

Great video, thank you

New subscriber here buddy keep the vids coming

Hey Jeff, very nice video. One remark is that the spring settings only work with the 2 bearings. If you go with the new 3 bearing setup then you have to bring the spring tension down or the clutch slips. Don’t know why. What is your experience with the 3 bearings ?

Hey there, thanks for the upload. Do the gaps and preloads you gave also apply for 1/10 touring with .12 engines? Thanks

Great vid which one do I order for 8th scale?

Very helpful explanation , Can you chare the loctite product number please? Never seen it here in an stick like you have. It is always fluid here in the chops. Thx!

Hi Jeff really nice vedio but have a question hope you can support you have mentioned the the 1/8 spring set is 1.7 how about 1/10 I mean 750 is it the same??? Thanks Abdul

I have a question, i've noticed that some people at the track dremel the inside of the spring. I heard its to make sure the spring does not get hung up on the threads. is this something you do or recommend? whats your opinion on that? Thanks again.

Hi Jeff Hamon I am your fan. There are 3 5*10*4 bearings in the manual, but I am curious if only 2 can be added. And, can the clutch gap be 0.3 and not set the end play?

Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can find the gears for this style clutch serpent first and second gear

Without the Precise tool we can use calipers correct? So I screwed the spring all the way in and took a reading of 11.17mm to the end of the shaft. So the sweet spot is 1.5mm. So unscrew until I get a reading of 9.64 from end correct? The manual really should have precise measurements instead of "unscrew 1.5 turns"

Hi jeff..can you name the clutch calliper in this video as i also want to buy it please? 😊

Can you help me with serpent suspension please

Hey Jeff! Where can I find those digital clutch tools. Did a few searches and came up empty. Great video!

What about 1/10 clutch setup video? Thank You.

Where the hell do you get that gap tool from?

Please link to Digital Sentax Tool.

is that digital spring tool import? I use the good old vernier calipers..
