Frequently Asked Questions
- What are ballstud washers and why do I need them for my RC car? — Ballstud washers are small precision fastening components that sit beneath ballstud fasteners on RC chassis. They distribute load evenly across the connection point, preventing the fastener from sinking into softer chassis materials and maintain secure connections that won't loosen during driving. These are essential wear items that should be replaced during regular maintenance routines.
- Are these washers compatible with my RC28R? — Yes, these washers are specifically engineered for Team Associated RC28 and RC28R chassis platforms. The 3.8 x 2.0 x 1.0mm dimensions are designed to work perfectly with the ballstud connections on these models without modification.
- How often should I replace ballstud washers? — Ballstud washers should be inspected regularly during routine maintenance and replaced if they show signs of wear, deformation, or damage. Having spare washers on hand allows you to perform preventative maintenance and keep your RC vehicle in peak condition between race events or driving sessions.
- Can I use these washers on other RC models? — These washers are specifically manufactured for Team Associated RC28 and RC28R models. Whilst other RC vehicles may use similarly sized washers, we recommend checking your vehicle's specifications to ensure compatibility before installation on non-Associated chassis.
- How many washers come in this pack? — This pack contains ten ballstud washers, providing sufficient spares for multiple maintenance cycles or for maintaining more than one RC vehicle simultaneously.
