Technical Performance

Washer shims are precision-manufactured fastening components that serve multiple critical functions in RC vehicle assembly and maintenance. The 0.2mm thickness of these particular shims makes them ideal for fine adjustments and spacing applications where precise clearances are essential. In RC vehicles, washer shims are used extensively throughout the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain systems to control component spacing, prevent metal-to-metal contact that could cause wear, adjust suspension ride height, fine-tune differential settings, and maintain proper alignment of critical drivetrain elements such as driveshafts and gear meshes. The 6mm inner diameter and 14mm outer diameter dimensions are specifically designed to work with common fasteners and component configurations found throughout the FTX vehicle lineup. These shims are manufactured from durable material that resists compression and deformation, ensuring they maintain their specified thickness over extended periods of use and repeated assembly/disassembly cycles. For RC car UK enthusiasts who regularly maintain their vehicles, service their differentials, adjust suspension geometry, or rebuild worn components, having a supply of quality washer shims is as essential as having lubricants and basic tools in your spares box.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are washer shims and why do I need them for my FTX RC car? — Washer shims are thin circular spacers that sit under bolt heads or between components to provide precise spacing, control clearances, and maintain proper alignment in RC vehicles. They're essential for suspension tuning, differential adjustment, drivetrain alignment, and general maintenance. Without proper shims, components may move excessively, causing poor handling, increased wear, or component damage.
• Are these shims compatible with all FTX RC vehicles? — These 6 x 14 x 0.2mm shims are designed to work with many FTX models throughout their range, including the FTX Outback series, FTX Zorro, FTX Tracer, FTX Bugsta, FTX Vantage, and numerous other FTX vehicles. However, always check your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm these specific dimensions are required for your particular model.
• How many applications can I use these shims for? — This pack of 10 shims provides multiple spares that can be used across various assembly points in your RC vehicle. Depending on what you're working on—whether rebuilding a differential, adjusting suspension, servicing driveshafts, or general maintenance—10 shims should cover most common tasks with spares remaining for future repairs.
• Can I use non-genuine shims as replacements? — While aftermarket shims may be available at lower prices, genuine FTX shims are precision-manufactured to exact tolerances that ensure perfect fitment and performance with your FTX vehicle. Using genuine parts guarantees you're maintaining your RC car to the manufacturer's specifications and preserving its performance and longevity.
• What thickness are these shims and when would I use them? — At 0.2mm thickness, these are very thin shims typically used for fine adjustments where small clearance changes are needed. They're ideal for suspension geometry adjustments, differential spacing, drivetrain fine-tuning, and applications where precise but minimal spacing is required to achieve optimal handling and performance.
• Are these shims reusable or single-use? — Washer shims are durable components that can be reused multiple times if they remain undamaged. However, keeping spares on hand is practical because shims can sometimes be lost during disassembly or may need replacement if they become bent or deformed during vehicle use or service work.
