Overview
The ARRMA Shim 10.2x15x0.5mm (10) Z-ARA709067 is an essential drivetrain spare part designed for RC enthusiasts and competitive racers who demand precision engineering and reliable performance from their models. Whether you're running an ARRMA 1/10 scale monster truck, short course truck, stadium truck, buggy, or 1/8 scale desert truck, these high-quality shims are critical components that help maintain proper gear mesh, bearing clearances, and suspension alignment. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC car UK setup in peak condition, having a supply of genuine ARRMA shims on hand is simply non-negotiable.
Shims are thin, precisely-engineered spacers that sit between components within your RC model's drivetrain and suspension systems. They serve multiple critical functions: adjusting gear mesh distance to ensure optimal power transfer and minimal wear, maintaining correct bearing preload for smooth rotation, and fine-tuning suspension geometry for better handling characteristics. The ARRMA Shim 10.2x15x0.5mm specifications make this particular shim suitable for a wide range of ARRMA's most popular ready to run RC models, including the legendary BIG ROCK, GRANITE, SENTON, TYPHON, VORTEKS, and MOJAVE platforms. With a 5 out of 5 customer rating on the manufacturer's website, these shims have earned the trust and approval of the RC community.
This pack contains 10 individual shims, giving you multiple opportunities to dial in your setup precisely or maintain a stock for future maintenance and repairs. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual off-road fun, a serious competitor preparing for race day, or someone discovering the world of ready to run RC for the first time, understanding and using quality shims like these demonstrates a commitment to proper maintenance and optimal performance. RC Model Shop stocks only authentic ARRMA parts, ensuring you receive genuine components that meet the manufacturer's exact specifications.
Key Features
- Precise Dimensions: 10.2x15x0.5mm — These exact specifications ensure perfect fit and function within ARRMA drivetrain and suspension assemblies, preventing mis-fitting or premature wear that could compromise your model's performance and reliability.
- Pack of 10 Shims — The generous quantity provides you with multiple shims for different adjustments, maintenance cycles, and spare inventory, ensuring you're never caught without the right spacer when you need it most.
- Authentic ARRMA Component — As a genuine manufacturer part with model number Z-ARA709067, this shim guarantees perfect compatibility and performance consistency across all specified ARRMA models without any guesswork or fitment issues.
- Drivetrain Spares Classification — Specifically engineered for drivetrain application, these shims optimise gear mesh and bearing performance, directly contributing to improved acceleration, efficiency, and longevity of your RC model's most important systems.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shim 10.2x15x0.5mm represents the kind of precision engineering that separates casual RC ownership from serious hobby involvement. At 0.5mm thickness with outer dimensions of 10.2x15mm, this shim is machined to exacting tolerances that allow for accurate adjustments measured in fractions of a millimetre. In the drivetrain context, proper shimming is absolutely critical: incorrect gear mesh can cause power loss, excessive noise, rapid gear wear, and even catastrophic failure under race conditions. Similarly, bearing preload adjusted through careful shimming directly affects rolling resistance, turning smoothness, and overall efficiency of your RC model's powertrain. The fact that this component is rated 5 out of 5 by customers indicates that these shims consistently deliver the precision and durability demanded by ARRMA users, whether they're running brushless 4WD monster trucks, stadium trucks, short course variants, buggies, or the larger 1/8 scale desert truck platforms. Quality shims like these are fundamental to maintaining your RC car UK in championship-ready condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly do RC shims do and why do I need them? — Shims are thin spacers that sit between components in your RC model's drivetrain and suspension. They perform critical functions: adjusting the distance between gears to achieve optimal mesh (too tight causes friction and wear, too loose causes noise and power loss), controlling bearing preload for smooth rotation, and fine-tuning suspension geometry. If your ARRMA model has worn bearings, loose gears, or handling issues, shims are often the solution. They're essential maintenance items that any RC enthusiast should understand and keep in stock.
- Will these shims fit my ARRMA ready to run RC model? — These 10.2x15x0.5mm shims are specifically listed as compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA's most popular 4WD and 4x4 models including BIG ROCK, GRANITE, SENTON, TYPHON, VORTEKS, and MOJAVE platforms. You should verify your specific model in the compatibility list, but if you're running one of these ARRMA monsters, short course trucks, stadium trucks, buggies, or desert trucks, these shims are designed for your vehicle.
- How many shims do I need and when should I replace them? — This pack contains 10 shims, which is ideal for multiple adjustments and maintenance cycles. You don't replace shims like you would wear items such as tyres or bearings; instead, you use them to make precise adjustments during setup and maintenance. Having 10 on hand means you can dial in different configurations, keep spares for future maintenance, and avoid being caught without the right spacer when you need it.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are authentic ARRMA components with the official model number Z-ARA709067 and EAN code 5052127045339. Purchasing genuine manufacturer parts ensures perfect fit, reliable performance, and ensures you're not wasting money on poor-quality alternatives that could damage your RC model.
- What's the difference between a shim and a washer? — While both are spacers, shims and washers serve slightly different purposes. Washers typically have a larger hole diameter and are often used for load distribution and spacing on fasteners, whereas shims are precision spacers designed for fine adjustments in drivetrain components, gear mesh, and bearing preload. ARRMA offers both shims and washers; the shim is what you need for drivetrain adjustments.
