The Fastrax 1/8th Wing Washers in red are essential precision spares designed for RC car enthusiasts who demand reliability and professional-grade performance. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or serious hobbyist running 1/8-scale RC vehicles, these wing washers play a crucial role in maintaining optimal vehicle setup and ensuring consistent performance on the track or off-road terrain. As a trusted UK RC retailer, we understand that quality spare parts are the foundation of a well-maintained RC car, and these Fastrax washers deliver exactly what you need.
Wing washers are critical components in the suspension and body mounting systems of 1/8-scale RC cars. They distribute load evenly across mounting points, prevent fasteners from damaging composite materials, and help maintain precise alignment and geometry. The bright red colour makes these washers easy to identify during assembly, maintenance, and tuning sessions. Whether you're replacing worn washers, building a new 1/8-scale RC buggy or truck, or maintaining your existing setup, the Fastrax 1/8th Wing Washers in red are the perfect solution for keeping your RC car in peak condition.
Fastrax is a recognised manufacturer of quality RC spares and accessories, and this product exemplifies their commitment to precision engineering and value for money. Available for immediate order from RC Model Shop, these wing washers are an affordable way to ensure your 1/8-scale RC vehicle receives the professional care it deserves.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax 1/8th Wing Washers represent precision engineering in miniature form. Manufactured to tight tolerances, these washers are designed to sit perfectly between fasteners and suspension components, preventing metal-on-plastic damage and maintaining consistent clamping force across your 1/8-scale RC car's critical mounting points. The engineering focuses on load distribution, ensuring that forces are spread evenly rather than concentrated at single points, which would risk cracking or warping plastic components common on modern RC vehicles. Quality washers like these are especially important for serious racers and weekend bashers who expect their RC cars to handle demanding track conditions or rough terrain. The Fastrax manufacturing standard ensures dimensional consistency, which translates to reliable fitment every single time you install them.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are wing washers used for on my 1/8-scale RC car? — Wing washers are small precision components that sit between fasteners and suspension or body mounting points. They distribute the load of bolts and screws evenly across a larger surface area, preventing fasteners from sinking into or cracking soft plastic and composite materials. This is essential for maintaining proper suspension geometry, body alignment, and overall vehicle integrity on your RC car. Whether you run a 1/8-scale buggy, truck, or truggy, wing washers are critical for longevity and consistent performance.
- Why should I buy Fastrax spares instead of generic washers? — Fastrax is a recognised manufacturer specialising in RC spares and components. Their washers are engineered to exact specifications for compatibility with RC vehicles, whereas generic washers may not provide the same precision fit or reliability. When you're investing in an RC car, choosing quality spares from established manufacturers like Fastrax ensures your vehicle receives the professional care it deserves and maintains peak performance.
- Do I need to order these wing washers separately or do they come with my RC car? — Most RC cars do include wing washers, but they are consumable items that wear with use and are easily lost during maintenance or repairs. Having spare washers on hand means you're never held up by a missing or damaged component. These Fastrax washers are the perfect solution for restocking your spare parts box.
- Are these washers suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Whether you're new to the RC hobby or a seasoned competitor, maintaining your RC car with quality spare parts is essential. These washers are straightforward to install and are an excellent way to learn about RC maintenance and vehicle care as a beginner.
- How many washers are included? — The exact quantity is not specified, but these are sold as a set of Fastrax 1/8th Wing Washers suitable for general replacement and maintenance of your 1/8-scale RC vehicle.
