Technical Performance
The ARRMA Washer 13x16x0.2mm represents precision engineering at its finest, combining careful material selection with exact manufacturing tolerances to deliver a component that performs reliably across the full spectrum of ARRMA RC vehicles. The strong, durable steel construction ensures these washers maintain structural integrity under the extreme stresses associated with high-performance RC applications, from the powerful brushless motors found in ARRMA 6S and 8S models to the demanding suspension geometry adjustments required in competitive RC buggy and RC truck racing. The 0.2mm thickness is deliberately engineered to enable fine-tuning of mechanical assemblies—whether you're adjusting bearing preload, optimising suspension travel, shimming diff cases, or precisely positioning drivetrain components. This thickness provides sufficient material to distribute loads effectively whilst remaining thin enough for delicate adjustments that can dramatically improve handling characteristics and component longevity. The 13mm inner diameter is specifically matched to common ARRMA fastener sizing, whilst the 16mm outer diameter provides an optimal bearing surface that prevents fasteners from pulling through surrounding components. For UK-based RC enthusiasts running any ARRMA brushless RC vehicle, from the powerful 1/7 scale models like the BIG ROCK 6S, FELONY 6S, and LIMITLESS range to the high-speed 1/8 scale KRATON, NOTORIOUS, OUTCAST, TALION, and TYPHON models, these washers are indispensable components that contribute to reliable, predictable performance in all conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are these ARRMA washers used for in RC vehicles? — These precision-engineered washers serve multiple critical functions in RC car assembly and maintenance. They distribute loads around fasteners to prevent damage to surrounding components, enable fine-tuning and adjustment of mechanical systems such as suspension geometry and bearing preload, and ensure proper spacing and alignment of drivetrain components. The 0.2mm thickness makes them particularly valuable as shims for precise adjustments that optimise handling and component longevity.
- Will these washers fit my ARRMA RC model? — The ARRMA Washer 13x16x0.2mm is listed as a standard part or optional part across an extensive range of ARRMA vehicles, including the 1/7 scale BIG ROCK 6S, FELONY 6S, FIRETEAM 6S, INFRACTION 6S, LIMITLESS range, and MOJAVE 6S, as well as the 1/8 scale KRATON, NOTORIOUS, OUTCAST, TALION, and TYPHON models. Check your specific model's parts list or contact RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation with your exact RC vehicle.
- What makes these washers better than generic alternatives? — These are genuine ARRMA replacement parts manufactured to the exacting specifications and quality standards that ARRMA applies across its entire range of brushless RC vehicles. Precision manufacturing ensures consistent fit and reliable performance, whereas generic washers may have loose tolerances that can lead to loose components, misalignment, and premature wear. For competitive RC racing and serious enthusiasts, genuine OEM components are the only choice.
- How many washers do I need? — This pack includes four washers, which may be sufficient for a single major service or repair. However, many RC enthusiasts keep multiple packs on hand for comprehensive rebuilds, multiple vehicles, or to ensure they always have spares available. The 0.2mm thickness means they're consumed as shims during adjustments, so having extra packs provides flexibility for future tuning.
- Can I use these washers on brushless RC vehicles? — Yes, these washers are specifically engineered for use with ARRMA brushless RC vehicles and are listed as compatible with all the high-performance 6S and 8S brushless models in the ARRMA range. They're equally suitable for suspension work, drivetrain assembly, and general mechanical applications on any ARRMA brushless RC truck, RC buggy, or RC monster truck.
- Are these washers suitable for beginners? — Yes, these washers are essential components suitable for RC enthusiasts at all experience levels, from beginners with ready-to-run RC vehicles to competitive racers running high-end RC buggies and trucks. If you're performing any maintenance, repairs, or suspension adjustments on your ARRMA model, having quality washers like these ensures your work is done correctly and safely.
- What is the material and build quality? — These washers are manufactured from strong, durable steel that provides reliable performance in all conditions. The precision manufacturing process ensures consistent dimensions and material quality, delivering components that maintain structural integrity through demanding RC use including high-speed running, off-road bashing, and competitive racing.
