Overview
The Traxxas Caster Spacers and Shims (TRX5134) are genuine OEM replacement parts designed for Traxxas RC vehicles. Whether you're maintaining your RC car, truck, or buggy, having spare caster spacers and shims in your toolbox is essential for keeping your model performing at its best. These precision-engineered components are critical for proper suspension alignment and front-end geometry, directly affecting how your RC car handles, steers and performs on track or off-road. If you're an RC enthusiast in the UK looking for authentic Traxxas spares, these caster spacers and shims are the perfect direct replacement parts to keep your model running smoothly.
Caster spacers and shims play a vital role in the suspension setup of any RC model. They allow you to adjust caster angle — the angle of the steering axis relative to vertical — which influences steering response, stability and cornering performance. Over time, these small but important components can wear, crack or break, especially if you're an active RC basher or racer pushing your vehicle to its limits. The Traxxas Caster Spacers and Shims TRX5134 come as a set of four spacers and four shims, giving you multiple replacements or the option to set up different angles for different driving conditions or track layouts.
Ready to run RC models from Traxxas are built to exacting standards, and maintaining them with genuine spare parts ensures longevity and consistent performance. If you've broken a caster spacer or simply want to have spares on hand, the TRX5134 is the authentic Traxxas solution trusted by RC enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Caster Spacers and Shims are precision-manufactured suspension components engineered to tight tolerances for reliable operation in demanding RC driving conditions. Caster angle adjustment is a fundamental aspect of RC vehicle setup, influencing how the steering axis aligns with the vertical plane of the wheel. By using different combinations of spacers and shims, drivers can fine-tune their vehicle's handling characteristics — increasing caster for more aggressive steering feel and stability at higher speeds, or reducing it for more responsive, twitchy steering in tight courses. These components are constructed to Traxxas' high standards and have been proven effective across the entire range of Traxxas RC vehicles, from stadium trucks to buggies and crawlers. The genuine materials and engineering ensure durability and consistent performance, making them the smart choice for maintaining your Traxxas RC car in top condition.
