Technical Performance
These ARRMA washers represent the pinnacle of precision engineering in RC spare parts. Manufactured from high-quality steel with exact dimensional tolerances of 2.7mm inner diameter, 5mm outer diameter, and 0.5mm thickness, they are engineered to provide precise spacing and alignment in critical areas of your RC vehicle. The steel construction offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, resisting warping, cracking, or deformation even under the intense vibration and impact loads that modern brushless RC cars UK enthusiasts regularly subject their vehicles to. The compact size and lightweight nature of washers means they add virtually no weight penalty to your setup, making them ideal for performance-conscious RC hobbyists who are constantly tuning and optimising their vehicles. Whether you're running a high-powered brushless motor system or using your ARRMA vehicle for casual weekend bashing, these washers play a vital role in maintaining proper component spacing, preventing metal-to-metal contact, and ensuring smooth operation of critical mechanical systems. The engineering that goes into these seemingly simple components is remarkable — each washer is precisely stamped from sheet steel, deburred to remove sharp edges, and quality-checked to ensure dimensional accuracy. This attention to detail is what separates genuine OEM ARRMA spare parts from inferior aftermarket alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models are these washers compatible with? — These washers are specifically engineered for use with the ARRMA 1/10 Quake 223S DSC 2WD RTR brushless monster truck range, including the green (C-ARA3537T2), red (C-ARA3537T1), and purple (C-ARA3537T3) variants. However, due to the universal nature of these dimensions, they may be compatible with other RC models that use 2.7x5x0.5mm washers. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle's manual or contact our expert team for confirmation.
- Why would I need replacement washers for my RC car? — Washers are critical components that space out parts, prevent metal-to-metal contact, and maintain proper alignment of mechanical systems. Over time, steel washers can wear, become damaged during crashes, or get lost during maintenance. Having spare washers ensures you can quickly restore your RC vehicle to like-new condition without waiting for replacement parts.
- Are these genuine ARRMA spare parts? — Yes, these are 100% official ARRMA component parts manufactured to the brand's exact specifications. Purchasing genuine OEM spare parts from RC Model Shop ensures you're getting components engineered for your specific ARRMA vehicle, rather than generic aftermarket alternatives that may not fit correctly or perform as expected.
- How many washers do I need for a complete service? — The number of washers required depends on your specific vehicle model and which components you're servicing. However, having a pack of 10 means you'll have sufficient spares for multiple servicing sessions, repairs, or to keep as emergency backup parts without needing to reorder immediately.
- Can I use these washers on other RC vehicles? — While these washers are officially specified for ARRMA Quake 223S models, the 2.7x5x0.5mm dimensions mean they may fit other RC cars, trucks, or buggies that use identically-sized washers. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert RC specialists to confirm compatibility before use.
- What makes steel washers better than plastic alternatives? — Steel offers superior durability, strength, and resistance to deformation compared to plastic washers. Plastic can warp, crack, or wear under the intense mechanical stresses present in high-performance brushless RC vehicles, whereas steel maintains its shape and integrity through countless driving sessions.
