Overview
The ARRMA Shim 6.2x11.9x0.2mm (8) is an essential replacement part for RC enthusiasts and serious hobbyists who demand precision engineering in their RC models. These high-quality shims are manufactured by ARRMA, a leading brand in the RC car UK market, and are designed to provide the exact spacing and alignment needed for optimal performance in your RC vehicle. Whether you own an ARRMA brushless RC truck, a speed machine, or a desert buggy, having spare shims on hand ensures you can maintain your model in peak condition and avoid downtime during critical repairs or maintenance routines.
Shims are small but critically important components in RC car construction. They serve as spacers that allow you to fine-tune the fitment of various drivetrain components, ensuring proper alignment and eliminating unwanted play or wobble. For UK RC car enthusiasts building or maintaining their own models, these precision-manufactured shims are indispensable. The pack includes eight individual shims, giving you enough replacements for multiple maintenance sessions or to keep as spares for emergency repairs during outdoor bashing or competition use.
This particular shim size (6.2x11.9x0.2mm) is listed as a standard part for several ARRMA models including the popular 1/7 scale LIMITLESS 120, the 1/7 MOJAVE desert truck, and various KRATON and NOTORIOUS configurations. If you're running any of these ready to run RC vehicles or building from a kit, having these precision shims ensures you maintain the exact specifications required for reliable performance and longevity.
Key Features
- Eight Shims per Pack — This package contains eight individual shims, providing you with multiple replacements for maintenance, repair, or upgrades, ensuring you always have spares on hand for your RC vehicle servicing needs.
- Precision Manufactured — Each shim is manufactured to exact tolerances, guaranteeing consistent fit and perfect alignment with drivetrain components, eliminating the frustration of loose or misaligned parts during assembly and reducing the need for troubleshooting.
- Strong and Durable Steel Construction — These shims are crafted from high-quality steel material that resists wear, deformation, and corrosion, maintaining their structural integrity through countless bashing sessions, racing events, and weather exposure in the UK climate.
- Universal Fitment Compatibility — Specifically engineered as standard replacement parts for multiple ARRMA 1/7 and 1/8 scale models, including the LIMITLESS, MOJAVE, KRATON, and NOTORIOUS platforms, making them essential spares for ARRMA owners.
- Hassle-Free Servicing — The precision engineering means these shims fit perfectly without modifications, allowing you to complete maintenance and repairs quickly and confidently without requiring filing, adjustment, or workarounds.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shim 6.2x11.9x0.2mm is engineered with exacting precision to deliver the exact dimensional accuracy required in modern RC vehicles. With an inside diameter of 6.2mm, an outside diameter of 11.9mm, and a thickness of 0.2mm, these shims are sized to fit perfectly in the drivetrain assemblies of ARRMA's flagship models. The steel construction provides exceptional durability and resistance to the stresses encountered during high-speed driving, aggressive cornering, and rough terrain bashing. Whether you're maintaining a ready to run RC truck fresh from the box or fine-tuning a competition-grade machine, the precision fit of these shims ensures that all drivetrain components sit exactly where they should, eliminating play that can cause premature wear or performance degradation. The compact thickness of 0.2mm allows for subtle adjustments in spacing and alignment, which is essential for optimal gear mesh, bearing preload, and component clearance in modern brushless RC systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models do these shims fit? — These shims are listed as standard parts for the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 120 8S AVC 4X4 RTR, the 1/7 MOJAVE 6S EXB 4X4 Roller, and various 1/8 scale KRATON and NOTORIOUS models. You should verify fitment against your specific model before purchase by checking the compatibility list on the ARRMA website or contacting RC Model Shop directly.
- Why would I need replacement shims for my RC car? — Shims wear over time due to the constant stresses placed on drivetrain components during driving. They can also become lost during assembly, disassembly, or maintenance. Having spare shims ensures you can maintain proper component alignment and spacing, which is critical for smooth operation, efficient power transfer, and extended component lifespan in your RC vehicle.
- Are these shims difficult to install? — No, these precision-manufactured shims are designed for hassle-free installation. Simply position them in the correct location during assembly or maintenance, and they will fit perfectly without requiring modification, filing, or adjustment. If you're familiar with basic RC maintenance, you'll have no trouble using these shims.
- What is the thickness difference between these shims? — This specific pack features shims that are 0.2mm thick. The thickness determines how much spacing adjustment is made between components. Having the correct thickness is important for maintaining proper gear mesh, bearing preload, and component fit, so it's essential to ensure you're ordering the correct size for your model.
- Can I use these shims for other RC brands? — While these shims may physically fit other RC vehicle platforms, they are specifically engineered and listed as parts for ARRMA models. We recommend only using these shims with ARRMA vehicles to ensure proper fitment and performance.
