Technical Performance
The FTX RALLY METAL WASHER exemplifies the kind of precision engineering that defines FTX's approach to RC vehicle manufacturing. This small but critical component is manufactured from quality metal material, which provides superior rigidity and load distribution compared to plastic alternatives. The exact dimensional specification of 4.218 x 0.2mm has been carefully calculated by FTX engineers to fit specific mounting locations on the MK2RS chassis assembly. These washers serve multiple critical functions within the vehicle: they distribute fastener loads evenly across mounting surfaces, prevent fasteners from pulling through softer materials, maintain proper spacing between components, and contribute to overall chassis alignment. The metal construction ensures this washer can withstand repeated tightening and loosening cycles without deforming or losing its dimensional integrity. Whether you're experiencing normal wear from regular operation or need emergency replacement following a crash, this genuine FTX spare maintains the structural integrity and handling characteristics that make the MK2RS such a capable 1/10th scale brushless rally platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this metal washer compatible with my FTX MK2RS rally car? — Yes, this FTX11359 metal washer is specifically engineered for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car and is confirmed compatible with both the white variant (FTX5470W) and black variant (FTX5470BK). If you own either version of this rally platform, this is the correct replacement washer.
- Why would I need to replace a metal washer on my RC car? — Metal washers on RC vehicles can wear over time due to repeated assembly and disassembly, may become slightly deformed or damaged during crashes, or can loosen and become lost during intense driving sessions. Having spare washers ensures you can quickly perform maintenance or repairs and get your rally car back on the track without extended downtime.
- What is the exact size of this washer and why does the specific dimension matter? — This washer measures 4.218 x 0.2mm. These precise dimensions are critical because they ensure the washer fits correctly on the specific fasteners and mounting points used in the MK2RS design. Using an incorrectly sized washer could result in poor load distribution, improper component alignment, or fasteners that don't seat properly.
- How many washers might I need to keep as spares? — This depends on how intensively you use your rally car. For occasional recreational drivers, keeping 2-3 spare washers of each size specification is prudent insurance. For competitive racers or serious bashers who run their vehicles multiple times weekly, maintaining a small stock of 5-10 washers ensures you're never delayed by a single missing component during maintenance or repair.
- Is this a common wear item on the MK2RS? — While metal washers are durable components, they are considered maintenance items on any RC vehicle. Regular inspection and occasional replacement as part of your maintenance routine will keep your MK2RS running optimally and prevent component misalignment that could affect handling or suspension geometry.
- Can I use a generic washer instead of the FTX genuine part? — We strongly recommend using genuine FTX spare parts to maintain the integrity of your rally car's engineering. Generic washers may not meet the exact dimensional and material specifications required for optimal fit and performance on the MK2RS platform, potentially causing alignment issues or premature failure of associated components.
