Technical Performance
These Traxxas white plastic washers are engineered with precision tolerances that ensure they fit perfectly within Traxxas suspension assemblies, drivetrain components, and structural areas of your RC model. The plastic material offers an ideal balance between lightweight construction and durability, meaning your RC car, truck, buggy or crawler will maintain its performance characteristics without added weight that could impact handling or speed. At just 1.0mm thick with an inner diameter of 5mm and outer diameter of 8mm, these washers provide precisely calibrated spacing that keeps moving components properly aligned and reduces friction during operation. Whether you are running a brushless RC buggy at high speeds on a circuit, a nitro-powered short course truck through rough terrain, or an electric crawler over rocky obstacles, these washers maintain the structural integrity of component assemblies. The white plastic construction resists the kind of wear and tear that comes from regular RC driving, and the compact size means they fit into tight spaces within suspension mounts, motor bearings, and drive shaft assemblies where proper spacing is critical for smooth operation. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand the reliability and compatibility that only genuine Traxxas parts can provide, these washers are an essential addition to any maintenance and upgrade plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are plastic washers used for in RC cars and trucks? — Plastic washers serve as precision spacers and shims within RC suspension systems, drivetrain assemblies, and motor mounts. They ensure that moving components maintain proper clearance and alignment, reducing friction and wear whilst keeping everything positioned correctly for optimal performance. In a Traxxas RC buggy, monster truck, or crawler, washers help distribute load evenly across bolt connections and prevent components from shifting during aggressive driving or off-road use.
- Will these Traxxas washers fit my RC model? — Yes, these genuine Traxxas TRX3685 washers are engineered to fit perfectly with Traxxas RC models that use 5x8x1.0mm washers in their suspension, drivetrain, or structural assemblies. To confirm compatibility with your specific model, check your Traxxas manual or contact RC Model Shop directly for advice on which models require these exact specifications.
- How many washers should I order for a complete upgrade? — Each pack contains 6 washers, which is typically sufficient for upgrading or replacing washers across one or two major component assemblies in your Traxxas RC model. If you are performing maintenance on multiple vehicles or want to maintain spare stocks for future repairs, you may wish to order multiple packs to ensure you always have replacements on hand.
- Are these plastic washers better than metal alternatives? — Plastic washers offer several advantages for RC applications: they are lightweight, which helps maintain optimal weight distribution in your RC car or truck, they resist corrosion from moisture and mud encountered during outdoor driving, they provide electrical isolation in certain assembly contexts, and they are typically more affordable than metal alternatives. For most Traxxas RC models, plastic washers are the correct choice as specified by the manufacturer.
- Can I use these washers as a general spare part for all my RC vehicles? — These washers are specifically engineered for Traxxas RC models, so compatibility with other brands cannot be guaranteed. However, if any of your RC buggies, trucks, or crawlers are Traxxas models, these washers represent an excellent general spare part to keep in your maintenance kit for potential future repairs and upgrades.

If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
