Traxxas PTFE-coated Washer 6X10X0.5mm RC Spare Part TRX10385

Overview

The Traxxas Washer, PTFE-coated 6X10X0.5mm (TRX10385) is a precision engineered replacement part designed for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance from their high-end RC models. This small but essential component is a specialist washer featuring a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, which provides superior lubricity and reduces friction between moving parts. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK enthusiast, a serious RC boat racer, or someone who enjoys maintaining their RC collection to the highest standards, this genuine Traxxas spare part ensures your models continue to perform at their absolute best.

PTFE-coated washers are critical components in modern RC vehicles, particularly in high-performance models where smooth operation and minimal wear are paramount. The PTFE coating acts as a dry lubricant, allowing parts to move freely without the need for traditional oils or greases that can attract dirt and debris. This makes PTFE-coated washers ideal for RC models used in various conditions, from dusty outdoor tracks to muddy terrain. The 6X10X0.5mm dimensions specify a washer with a 6mm inner diameter, 10mm outer diameter, and 0.5mm thickness—precision measurements that ensure perfect compatibility with your Traxxas model.

This component is particularly valuable for owners of the Traxxas Disruptor 4S VXL brushless RC boat, a high-performance 1/10 scale electric racing vessel known for its speed and agility on water. The Disruptor comes in multiple colour options including Pink, Orange, Blue, and Green, and this washer is an essential wear item for maintaining optimal performance across the entire Disruptor range. Regular replacement of PTFE-coated washers helps maintain the precise tolerances your RC model needs for competitive racing or recreational enjoyment.

Key Features

• PTFE-coated surface — The polytetrafluoroethylene coating provides exceptional low-friction properties, allowing components to move smoothly and reducing wear over time, which is essential for maintaining your RC model's performance and longevity.
• Precision dimensions 6X10X0.5mm — These exact measurements ensure perfect fit and compatibility with compatible Traxxas models, eliminating guesswork and ensuring proper assembly without modification.
• Genuine Traxxas component — As an official Traxxas spare part, this washer meets the manufacturer's strict quality standards and engineering specifications, guaranteeing reliability and peace of mind.
• Lightweight construction — The minimal mass of this component means it adds negligible weight to your RC model whilst providing essential functional benefits, making it ideal for performance-focused applications where weight matters.
• Corrosion resistant coating — The PTFE coating naturally resists corrosion and oxidation, making this washer suitable for use in moisture-rich environments such as RC boat racing or humid climates.
• Universal compatibility — This washer is compatible with multiple Traxxas Disruptor variants and other compatible models, making it a versatile spare part for serious RC enthusiasts with multiple vehicles.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Washer TRX10385 represents precision engineering at its finest. Measuring exactly 6mm in inner diameter, 10mm in outer diameter, and 0.5mm in thickness, this component is engineered to exacting tolerances that ensure perfect integration within high-performance RC assemblies. The PTFE coating is applied through a specialised manufacturing process that creates an ultra-smooth surface with a coefficient of friction significantly lower than uncoated metal washers. This means that when installed in your RC model, this washer enables smoother rotation of shafts and pivots, reducing mechanical resistance and heat generation during operation. The low-friction properties of PTFE are particularly valuable in high-speed applications like the Traxxas Disruptor 4S VXL brushless RC boat, where every gram of friction translated directly into energy loss and reduced performance. The coating maintains its effectiveness throughout extended use, resisting wear and degradation even under demanding racing conditions. For RC enthusiasts committed to maintaining their vehicles in peak condition, regular replacement of PTFE-coated washers is recommended as part of a comprehensive maintenance programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a PTFE-coated washer and why do I need one for my RC model? — PTFE is a synthetic fluoropolymer that provides exceptional low-friction properties. In RC models, PTFE-coated washers reduce mechanical friction between moving components, enabling smoother operation, reducing heat generation, and extending the lifespan of your vehicle. They're particularly important in high-performance RC boats and cars where minimising friction directly improves speed and efficiency.
• Is this washer compatible with my Traxxas RC model? — This washer is specifically compatible with Traxxas Disruptor 4S VXL brushless RC boats in all colour variants (Pink, Orange, Blue, and Green), as well as the Traxxas Disruptor Trailer. If you own a different Traxxas model, check your vehicle's parts list or contact our expert team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• How often should I replace the PTFE-coated washers in my RC model? — The frequency of replacement depends on usage intensity and conditions. For regular recreational users, replacement every 12-24 months is typical. However, competitive racers or users operating in harsh conditions may need to replace washers more frequently. Visual inspection of the coating during routine maintenance can help determine if replacement is necessary.
• What makes PTFE coating better than standard steel washers? — PTFE-coated washers offer superior lubricity compared to bare steel, meaning they allow smoother movement between parts without requiring traditional oils or greases. This dry lubrication approach prevents dirt and debris from accumulating, keeps your RC model cleaner, and reduces the likelihood of mechanical wear. For RC boats especially, PTFE washers are superior because they won't wash away in water like conventional lubricants.
• Can I use this washer as a replacement for other RC brands' components? — Whilst the dimensions may occasionally match other manufacturers' components, we recommend only using genuine Traxxas parts specified for your particular model. Using incorrect components can lead to poor fit, misalignment, and potential damage to your RC vehicle. Always consult your instruction manual or our expert team before substituting parts.
• Is this suitable for RC boat racing or only for RC cars? — This washer is ideal for both RC boats and RC cars. In fact, PTFE-coated washers are particularly valuable for RC boat applications because PTFE resists water and won't degrade or wash away like traditional lubricants. The Traxxas Disruptor 4S VXL brushless race boat specifically benefits from PTFE washers in high-load areas.
