Fastrax M3 Flat Washer Gold Anodised 1.5mm Pack of Six FAST142-3-G

Overview

The Fastrax M3 Flat Washer in stunning gold finish is an essential hardware component for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand precision and reliability in their builds. Whether you're a seasoned RC car builder, a competitive racer, or someone just getting started with RC model engineering, these washers represent the kind of quality spare parts that separate a well-maintained rig from one that falls apart on the track or trail. As an official Fastrax option part, this product is recognised and trusted by RC hobbyists who understand that the smallest components often make the biggest difference in performance and longevity.

These M3 flat washers are precision-engineered fastening components designed to distribute load evenly across bolt connections, preventing damage to softer materials and ensuring that your RC assembly remains secure through thousands of cycles of vibration and stress. The gold anodised finish isn't just for aesthetics—it provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel washers, making these washers ideal for outdoor RC adventures and extended bash sessions. Six washers are included in each pack, giving you a useful supply for multiple builds or repairs without breaking the bank.

Built to the exacting standards that Fastrax is known for throughout the RC hobby, these M3 washers are compatible with countless RC vehicles and platforms including Traxxas TRX-4 crawlers, Team Associated buggies, Losi vehicles, Mugen competition cars, HPI models, Element Enduro builds, and many other platforms. If you're building, upgrading, or maintaining an RC car, buggy, monster truck, crawler or any other RC model in the UK, quality fastening hardware is non-negotiable.

Key Features

• M3 Thread Size — Designed to fit M3 bolts and screws, the industry standard for most RC applications, ensuring compatibility with your existing hardware and build specifications.
• 1.5mm Thickness — The precise 1.5mm washer thickness is engineered to provide optimal load distribution without excessive bulk, maintaining the integrity of your RC assembly whilst keeping weight to a minimum.

Technical Performance

These M3 flat washers represent a straightforward but critical piece of RC engineering. At 1.5mm thick, they provide the ideal balance between load-bearing capacity and structural weight—crucial considerations in a hobby where every gram matters and vibration-induced loosening can ruin a run. The gold anodised finish represents a significant upgrade over standard zinc-plated or bare steel alternatives, offering substantially improved corrosion resistance that's particularly valuable if you run your RC car in wet conditions, use salt-water resistant coatings, or live in humid parts of the UK. The M3 specification ensures these washers are compatible with the most common fastening sizes used across the RC industry, from chassis mounting points to differential covers, suspension components, and electronic enclosures. Whether you're assembling a high-speed 1/10 scale buggy, a technical 1/8 scale truggy, a rock-crawling 1/10 scale scale crawler, or any other RC platform, these washers provide the reliable fastening foundation that keeps your build together through countless hours of bashing, racing, and exploration.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size bolt do these M3 washers fit? — These washers are specifically designed for M3 fasteners, the industry standard size used throughout RC vehicle assembly. They fit perfectly with M3 bolts, screws, and studs across Traxxas, Team Losi, Team Associated, Mugen, HPI and most other RC platforms available in the UK.
• Why would I need flat washers for my RC car? — Flat washers serve multiple critical functions in RC builds: they distribute the clamping force of a bolt across a wider surface area, preventing fasteners from pulling through softer materials like plastic or aluminium; they reduce vibration-induced loosening by providing a secure seating surface; and they protect component surfaces from damage caused by bolt heads or nuts. For any RC enthusiast maintaining or building an RC car, buggy, or crawler, washers are an essential consumable item.
• What's the advantage of the gold anodised finish? — Gold anodising creates a protective oxide coating that significantly resists corrosion and rust compared to bare steel or standard zinc plating. For RC users in the UK dealing with damp conditions, coastal environments, or frequent wet running, the gold finish ensures your washers remain in perfect condition far longer than cheaper alternatives.
• How many washers do I get? — Each pack contains six M3 flat washers, providing a useful supply for repairs, replacements, or complete vehicle builds without needing to order multiple packs for a single project.
• Are these genuine Fastrax parts? — Yes, these are official Fastrax option parts recognised as original equipment components. When you buy from RC Model Shop, you receive authentic Fastrax products with full compatibility assurance across supported RC platforms.
• Will these washers work with my specific RC vehicle? — If your RC vehicle uses M3 fasteners—which covers the overwhelming majority of 1/10 scale, 1/8 scale and larger RC cars, buggies, crawlers and trucks from brands including Traxxas, ARRMA, Losi, Team Associated, Mugen, HPI, Axial Racing and Element Enduro—then these washers will work perfectly for assembly, maintenance and repairs.
• What's the difference between these and standard steel washers? — Fastrax gold anodised washers offer superior corrosion resistance, professional-grade precision engineering to tighter tolerances, and the assurance of being designed specifically for RC applications rather than generic hardware store fasteners.
