Overview
The ARRMA Spool Spacer Set Z-ARA714000 is an essential replacement component for owners of the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 brushless RC street speed truck. These precision-engineered spool spacers are designed to maintain optimal drivetrain geometry and performance, making them a critical spare part for anyone who wants to keep their high-performance RC car running smoothly. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or serious hobbyist running an ARRMA brushless RC vehicle in the UK, having quality replacement spool spacers on hand ensures you can get back on the track or street quickly when maintenance is needed.
Spool spacers play a vital role in the drivetrain assembly of RC cars, positioning components correctly on the differential spool to ensure smooth power delivery and consistent handling. The ARRMA Limitless Spool Spacer Set provides two different thickness options—a 2mm spacer and a 9mm spacer—giving you the flexibility to adjust your drivetrain setup to suit different track conditions or personal preferences. This set represents genuine ARRMA spare parts manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment supplied with your 1/7 scale RC vehicle, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability.
ARRMA is renowned for engineering high-quality, durable RC components, and these spool spacers are no exception. With their precision-manufactured construction and anodised red finish, they're not only functional but also add a professional, tuned appearance to your RC car's drivetrain. For UK RC enthusiasts looking for authentic ARRMA spare parts that deliver consistent performance, this spool spacer set is an excellent choice to keep your brushless RC truck performing at its best.
Key Features
- Two Different Spacer Thicknesses — The set includes both a 2mm and a 9mm spacer, allowing you to fine-tune your drivetrain geometry based on track conditions, driving style, or setup preferences, which is essential for maximising performance and handling consistency.
- Precision-Manufactured Aluminium Construction — These spacers are engineered from high-grade aluminium, which provides the exact tolerances needed for a perfect fit whilst keeping overall vehicle weight to a minimum, contributing to faster acceleration and improved handling characteristics.
- Reduced Vehicle Weight — Aluminium construction compared to heavier alternatives means less unsprung weight in your drivetrain, which translates to improved suspension response, better traction, and ultimately faster lap times or better handling on the street.
- Anodised Red Finish — Beyond the aesthetic appeal of the distinctive red colour that matches ARRMA's design language, anodising significantly increases surface hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring these spacers will maintain their appearance and function even with regular use and maintenance.
- Genuine ARRMA Spare Parts — These are original equipment replacement components, not aftermarket alternatives, guaranteeing complete compatibility with your ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RC truck and the same quality standards as the parts originally supplied with your vehicle.
- Easy Installation — As direct replacement parts, these spacers install quickly into your existing drivetrain assembly with no modifications needed, making them ideal for maintenance, repairs, or experimentation with different setup configurations.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Spool Spacer Set Z-ARA714000 represents precision engineering at the component level. Each spacer is manufactured from lightweight aluminium with exact dimensional tolerances to ensure they seat perfectly within your ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4's differential assembly. The 8x12mm bore diameter ensures proper alignment on the spool shaft, whilst the varying thicknesses—2mm and 9mm—allow you to adjust the preload and positioning of internal drivetrain components to optimise power delivery characteristics. The anodised red surface treatment not only provides the professional appearance expected on a high-end brushless RC street speed truck but also offers enhanced durability by creating a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer that protects the aluminium from wear and oxidation during handling and use. These spacers are designed specifically for the ARRMA LIMITLESS range, ensuring they meet the exact specifications required for this 8S-powered, 4WD brushless RC vehicle. Whether you're replacing worn spacers or experimenting with different drivetrain geometry to tune your RC car's handling, these genuine ARRMA components will perform reliably and maintain the precision engineering that ARRMA is recognised for throughout the UK RC hobby community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spool spacer and why do I need one for my ARRMA RC truck? — A spool spacer is a component that sits on the differential spool shaft and positions internal drivetrain components correctly. It ensures proper spacing and preload within the differential, which directly affects how smoothly power is delivered to your wheels. Without correctly positioned spacers, your drivetrain could bind, slip, or wear prematurely. This ARRMA set provides genuine replacements for the spacers that come with your 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4, making them essential for maintenance and setup tuning.
- Will these spool spacers fit my ARRMA LIMITLESS RC car? — Yes, these spacers are specifically designed for compatibility with the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX models (both the Street Speed in white/blue and red/black colour schemes). The 8x12mm bore diameter and the two specific thicknesses included match the factory specifications exactly. If you own a different ARRMA model, you should verify compatibility before ordering.
- Why are there two different thickness spacers in the set? — The 2mm and 9mm spacers give you flexibility in tuning your drivetrain. Different thicknesses adjust the preload and positioning of differential components, which can subtly change how the differential behaves under acceleration and cornering. This allows you to fine-tune your RC car's handling characteristics based on track conditions or personal preference, making them useful for both maintenance and performance setup experimentation.
- Are these better than aftermarket alternatives? — As genuine ARRMA spare parts, these spacers are manufactured to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the components originally supplied with your RC truck. This guarantees perfect fitment and performance without any risk of compatibility issues. Whilst aftermarket alternatives may exist, ARRMA's original components are engineered specifically for your vehicle and are the recommended choice for reliable performance.
- How often do I need to replace my spool spacers? — Spool spacers typically last a very long time under normal use. However, they should be inspected during regular maintenance, and replaced if they show signs of wear, damage, or if you're rebuilding your drivetrain. Having spare spacers on hand means you can complete repairs without waiting for parts, which is why this genuine ARRMA set is worth keeping in your spares box.
