Technical Performance
The Team Associated AS89278 Washer 2.5mm represents precision engineering at the component level. These washers are manufactured to exact specifications that ensure compatibility with Team Associated's fastening systems across their entire 2WD racing platform lineup. The 2.5mm diameter is specifically designed to work with corresponding bolt and screw sizes used in critical assemblies throughout RC8-series vehicles, from suspension attachment points to chassis-mounted electronic components. The material composition and thickness are engineered to provide proper load distribution without adding unnecessary weight to your RC model. In the demanding environment of RC racing and bashing, fasteners experience constant vibration and stress from terrain impacts and cornering forces. Washers serve the essential function of preventing fastener loosening by distributing clamping force over a larger surface area, reducing the likelihood of component movement or fastener pull-through in softer materials. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your RC car, assembling new parts during an upgrade cycle, or rebuilding key assemblies after intensive use, having the correct washers ensures proper torque distribution and component security. The pack of twenty provides excellent value, allowing you to maintain a well-stocked spare parts drawer for all your Team Associated RC8 family vehicles.
