Technical Performance
The ARRMA CRUSH TUBE 4x9.5x6.5mm components are manufactured to exacting engineering standards that reflect ARRMA's commitment to quality and reliability in the RC automotive market. These small but critical parts serve an important function in maintaining the structural integrity and alignment of your 1/7 scale brushless RC car's drivetrain system. The specific dimensions of 4mm inner diameter, 9.5mm outer diameter, and 6.5mm length have been calculated precisely to work within the LIMITLESS 8S platform, which features an 8S LiPo battery system capable of delivering serious power to its brushless motor. The tubes maintain proper spacing and alignment of critical components, ensuring that the exceptional performance potential of the LIMITLESS 8S's brushless motor and advanced AVC (All-Terrain Vehicle Control) systems can be realised without mechanical binding or misalignment. When subjected to the high-speed demands of street bashing or competitive driving, these components can gradually compress, wear, or develop micro-fractures that compromise handling precision. By maintaining a supply of genuine ARRMA replacement crush tubes, you ensure your RC car UK model continues to deliver the responsive, predictable handling characteristics that make the LIMITLESS 8S platform such a capable performer in the 1/7 scale 4WD brushless RC car category.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are crush tubes and why do I need them for my ARRMA RC car? — Crush tubes are small cylindrical spacer components that maintain proper alignment and spacing in your model's drivetrain assembly. They support the geometry of critical connections and can gradually compress or wear with heavy use. Replacing them is essential maintenance for keeping your LIMITLESS 8S performing at its best, particularly if you engage in frequent high-speed driving or aggressive bashing sessions.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are authentic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) ARRMA components with the genuine part number Z-ARA-2986. They are manufactured to ARRMA's exact specifications and are guaranteed to fit your LIMITLESS 8S perfectly without any modification or adjustment required.
- Which ARRMA models are these compatible with? — These crush tubes are specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX Street Speed. They are compatible with both colour variants: the Red/Black (C-ARA7816T1) and the White/Blue (C-ARA7816T2) editions. If you own either of these high-performance brushless RC cars UK models, these parts will fit perfectly.
- Why do I need two crush tubes? — This set contains two tubes because most RC car drivetrain assemblies require crush tubes at multiple points to maintain proper alignment and spacing. Having a two-piece set means you can replace both components during maintenance without needing to order separately, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent performance across all affected areas of your model's system.
- How often should I replace my crush tubes? — Replacement frequency depends on how heavily you use your RC car UK model. If you engage in regular high-speed driving, competitive racing, or aggressive bashing, inspect your crush tubes during routine maintenance. Signs of wear, compression, or visible damage indicate it's time to replace them with these genuine ARRMA parts to maintain optimal drivetrain performance.
- Will these work with other RC cars or just the LIMITLESS 8S? — These crush tubes are specifically engineered for the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX platform. While the dimensions might fit other models, ARRMA designs each component for a specific vehicle platform. We recommend using only genuine ARRMA parts matching your exact model to ensure perfect fit and reliable performance.
