Frequently Asked Questions
- What are RC shims used for in my RC car? — Shims are thin spacers used to establish precise spacing between components in your RC vehicle's drivetrain and suspension. They are essential for setting correct bearing preload, adjusting component clearances, and ensuring your vehicle maintains proper geometry and handling characteristics. When servicing your RC car, shims help you achieve the exact positioning that the manufacturer designed for optimal performance.
- Are these shims compatible with my ARRMA RC vehicle? — Yes, these Z-ARA709057 shims are genuine ARRMA parts specifically designed for compatibility with the Infraction 6S BLX (both Silver and Blue versions) and MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX (both Red/Black and Green/Black versions). If you own one of these models, these shims will fit perfectly without any compatibility concerns.
- How often should I replace my RC shims? — Shims are not wear items and do not degrade from normal use. However, when you are disassembling your RC vehicle for maintenance or repair, you should inspect shims for any visible damage. These replacement shims allow you to maintain a stock of spares so you always have the correct components on hand when servicing your vehicle.
- What is the difference between shims and washers in RC parts? — Shims and washers are similar components but serve slightly different purposes. Shims are typically thinner precision spacers used for fine adjustments and bearing preload, while washers are often slightly thicker and used to distribute loads across larger surface areas. Both are essential for proper RC vehicle assembly and maintenance.
- Why should I buy genuine ARRMA shims rather than generic alternatives? — Genuine ARRMA shims are manufactured to precise tolerances that match your vehicle's design specifications exactly. Generic shims may have slight dimensional variations that can affect bearing preload, suspension geometry and overall handling. Investing in genuine parts ensures your RC car performs exactly as the engineers intended.
