The slippery nature of PTFE reduces friction between components, which translates to smoother operation, reduced wear on moving parts, and improved overall efficiency of your RC model. For UK RC car owners who demand reliability and longevity from their equipment, these coated washers represent a smart investment in your vehicle's maintenance regime. Whether you operate a brushless RC monster truck, high-speed buggy, or any other Traxxas model, these washers are engineered to exact OEM specifications.

Technical Performance
These PTFE-coated washers represent precision engineering at the component level. The 0.5mm thickness provides the exact spacing required in Traxxas applications, whilst the 6x9.5mm dimensions ensure proper fit and function without any play or misalignment. PTFE coating is specifically chosen for RC applications because it offers superior lubrication properties compared to standard steel or aluminium washers, resulting in reduced friction losses that translate to better efficiency and extended component longevity. The coating protects the underlying material from corrosion and wear, which is particularly valuable for UK RC enthusiasts who may operate their models in varying weather conditions. Each washer in this 10-pack meets the same quality control standards as the factory-installed components in new Traxxas vehicles, ensuring consistency and reliability across your maintenance work.
