- Genuine Losi Manufacture — Manufactured by Losi, the industry-leading RC vehicle brand, these clips meet the exact specifications required for Losi models including the Losi 8ight and other compatible vehicles. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment and long-term reliability.

Technical Performance
The Losi 5mm E-Clips represent precision engineering at the smallest scale. These fasteners are manufactured from high-quality spring steel, engineered to maintain consistent tension and secure grip on shafts and axles throughout intensive driving sessions. The 5mm diameter specification is critical for compatibility with Losi drivetrain components, particularly on the Losi 8ight platform and other models in the Losi range. Each clip is press-formed to create the characteristic E-shape, which allows for easy installation and removal whilst maintaining a secure, positive lock on the shaft. The engineering ensures that under normal racing and bashing conditions, these clips will retain shafts and axles reliably, preventing the mechanical failures that can occur when drivetrain components become loose. As wear items in any RC vehicle, E-clips benefit from periodic replacement to maintain peak performance and prevent unexpected failures during critical driving moments.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are E-clips and why do I need them for my RC car? — E-clips, also called E-retaining rings or snap rings, are fasteners that secure shafts and axles in their positions within your RC vehicle's drivetrain. They prevent critical components from sliding out during operation, which could result in loss of drive or mechanical failure. They are consumable items that wear over time and should be replaced as part of regular maintenance schedules or when rebuilding your RC car.
- Are these clips compatible with my Losi RC vehicle? — The Losi 5mm E-Clips are specifically designed for Losi vehicles including the Losi 8ight and other compatible models that use 5mm diameter shafts. Always check your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm the correct clip size for your specific model before ordering.
- How many E-clips should I keep in stock? — This pack contains 12 clips, which provides a good supply for several maintenance cycles or rebuilds. Most serious RC hobbyists in the UK keep multiple packs on hand to ensure they always have spares available when needed, as running out during a rebuild can cause frustrating downtime.
- How do I install E-clips on my RC car? — E-clips are installed by spreading the clip slightly and sliding it onto the shaft groove, then allowing it to snap into place with the opening facing away from any direction where the shaft might move. Installation requires a small flathead screwdriver or clip tool to gently prise the clip open. Always refer to your RC vehicle's assembly manual for specific installation guidance for your model.
- Are these genuine Losi parts? — Yes, these are genuine Losi manufactured parts, not aftermarket clones or inferior imitations. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment and reliability, which is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your RC vehicle.
