Overview
The Traxxas PTFE-coated 6x8x0.5 (10 pcs) TRX3982 is an essential maintenance and upgrade component for RC car enthusiasts across the UK. These precision-engineered washers are specifically designed for Traxxas vehicles and come in a convenient 10-piece pack, making them perfect for both regular maintenance and performance tuning. Whether you're a dedicated competitor fine-tuning your RC buggy, a weekend basher enjoying high-speed runs, or someone discovering the world of RC cars for the first time, having quality washers on hand is crucial for keeping your model in peak condition.
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating on washers offers superior performance compared to standard uncoated alternatives. The PTFE treatment reduces friction between components, allowing smoother rotation and less wear on critical drivetrain parts. This coating is particularly valuable in the demanding environment of RC racing, where even minor friction losses can impact performance. The 6x8x0.5mm specification makes these washers ideal for various applications within your RC car's drivetrain and suspension systems. With these Traxxas PTFE-coated washers in your spares box, you'll be well-equipped to maintain your RC car UK collection and ensure consistent performance across multiple sessions.
Traxxas is renowned for precision engineering and attention to detail, and this 10-piece pack of PTFE-coated washers exemplifies that commitment. Each washer is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure perfect fitment and reliable performance. Whether you need to replace worn washers during routine maintenance, adjust suspension geometry, or upgrade your setup for enhanced performance, these genuine Traxxas components deliver the quality and reliability you expect from the brand.
Key Features
- PTFE Coating — The polytetrafluoroethylene coating dramatically reduces friction between metal surfaces, ensuring smoother rotation of drivetrain components and extended lifespan of critical parts in your RC vehicle.
- Precise 6x8x0.5mm Dimensions — These washers are manufactured to exact specifications to guarantee perfect fitment in Traxxas vehicles, ensuring consistent performance and reliability without fitment issues.
- 10-Piece Pack — With ten washers included in each pack, you have enough spares for multiple maintenance intervals or enough to upgrade several different areas of your RC car's setup simultaneously.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — As official Traxxas parts, these washers meet the manufacturer's quality standards and are designed to work seamlessly with Traxxas RC cars and compatible models.
- Versatile Application — These washers can be used throughout your RC car's drivetrain, suspension, and other mechanical systems where precision spacing and reduced friction are essential.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas PTFE-coated 6x8x0.5 washers represent a significant advancement in RC car maintenance components. The PTFE coating is applied using precision manufacturing techniques to ensure consistent thickness and uniform coverage across each washer. The 6mm inner diameter and 8mm outer diameter provide the perfect size for numerous applications in 1/10-scale RC cars and other Traxxas models, whilst the 0.5mm thickness offers precise spacing without excessive bulk. The PTFE material itself is renowned in engineering for its extremely low coefficient of friction, meaning these washers will maintain smooth operation even under the high-speed, high-load conditions typical of RC racing and bashing. Unlike traditional steel or brass washers that can corrode or generate excessive friction over time, PTFE-coated washers maintain their performance characteristics through countless hours of use. The coating also provides excellent chemical resistance, protecting the underlying metal from moisture and dirt that are inevitably encountered during outdoor RC sessions. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC car UK setup in optimal condition, these precision-engineered washers are an investment in longevity and performance consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are PTFE-coated washers and why should I use them in my RC car? — PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a low-friction coating that significantly reduces resistance between moving parts in your RC vehicle. Using PTFE-coated washers instead of standard washers means smoother operation, reduced wear on drivetrain components, and improved overall performance. This is particularly important in competitive racing where every advantage counts, but also valuable for casual bashers who want their RC car to perform reliably.
- What size are these washers and what will they fit? — These washers measure 6mm inner diameter, 8mm outer diameter, and 0.5mm thickness (6x8x0.5mm). They are designed specifically for Traxxas RC vehicles and will fit various applications throughout your model's drivetrain and suspension systems. Always check your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm compatibility before installation.
- Do I need to replace my washers regularly? — Washers should be inspected during regular maintenance of your RC car. If they show signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation, they should be replaced to maintain optimal performance. Having a spare pack like this 10-piece set ensures you can perform replacements whenever needed without interrupting your RC driving schedule.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas OEM (original equipment manufacturer) components designed to the exact specifications required for Traxxas vehicles. Using genuine parts ensures perfect fitment and reliable performance.
- How many washers do I need? — The number of washers required depends on your specific RC car model and which components you're servicing or upgrading. With 10 washers in this pack, you have plenty for multiple maintenance sessions or enough to upgrade several areas of your setup. Many RC enthusiasts keep multiple packs on hand as part of their regular maintenance routine.
- Can I use these washers on other RC car brands? — Whilst these washers are specifically manufactured for Traxxas vehicles, the 6x8x0.5mm size is a relatively common specification in RC cars. However, for best results and guaranteed compatibility, always use components specifically designed for your vehicle brand. Consult your vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop for compatibility questions.
