Key Features
- PTFE Coating — The polytetrafluoroethylene coating provides exceptional lubricity and reduces friction between fastening surfaces, which means your bolts will seat more smoothly and maintain their integrity through countless hours of RC driving without seizing or corroding.
- Precision Dimensions — At 4x6x0.5mm, these washers are engineered to exact specifications for perfect compatibility with Traxxas RC vehicles, ensuring proper load distribution and preventing bolt head or nut penetration into softer materials on your RC car.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the vibration and stress that RC cars experience during high-speed driving, bashing, and racing, these washers maintain their structural integrity even under the demanding conditions of RC motorsport and recreational use.
- Corrosion Resistance — The PTFE coating provides protection against moisture and corrosion, which is particularly important for RC cars that are exposed to wet conditions, making these washers ideal for all-weather RC driving in the UK.
- Load Distribution — Washers distribute clamping force over a wider area, protecting the surfaces of your RC car's components from damage and ensuring fasteners remain tight throughout extended driving sessions.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas washers represent the kind of precision engineering that goes into every genuine Traxxas spare part. The PTFE coating is a thermoplastic polymer that dramatically reduces friction compared to bare metal washers, which is critical for maintaining proper bolt tension in RC vehicles that experience constant vibration and movement. The 4mm inner diameter is designed to work with standard Traxxas fasteners, while the 6mm outer diameter provides adequate surface contact area for secure load distribution across RC vehicle components. At 0.5mm thickness, these washers strike the perfect balance between providing necessary support and maintaining clearance in tightly-packed RC car assemblies. The combination of precise machining and protective coating ensures that these washers will perform reliably whether you're racing competitively, bashing with friends, or maintaining your ready to run RC car at home. UK RC enthusiasts who use genuine Traxxas parts consistently report longer component lifespan and more reliable vehicle performance compared to using generic alternatives, and these washers exemplify why choosing quality spare parts matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Traxxas washers compatible with? — These PTFE-coated washers are designed for use with Traxxas RC vehicles that use 4x6x.5mm fastening hardware.
