Overview
The FTX Rokatan M3 Washer (FTX10210) is an essential spare part for RC enthusiasts maintaining their FTX RC models in the UK. This precision-engineered washer is specifically designed for M3 fastener applications across the FTX Rokatan range and compatible models. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher, having quality replacement washers on hand ensures your RC vehicle remains in optimal condition and performs reliably during every run. The silver-coloured finish and robust construction make this a dependable component for any serious RC hobbyist.
Washers might seem like small components, but they play a vital role in the assembly and maintenance of ready to run RC cars and brushless RC vehicles. They distribute loads evenly across fasteners, prevent damage to softer materials, and help maintain secure connections in high-vibration environments typical of RC racing and bashing. The FTX Rokatan M3 Washer is manufactured to exacting standards by FTX, a trusted name in the UK RC hobby community, ensuring compatibility and quality that matches the performance expectations of their complete RC model range.
If you own an FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck, FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy Truck, or any other compatible FTX model, keeping spare M3 washers in your RC spares box is smart maintenance practice. These washers help you quickly restore your vehicle to like-new condition after regular use, and they're an affordable way to ensure long-term reliability of your RC investment.

Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan M3 Washer represents precision engineering at the component level. Washers serve a critical function in any mechanical assembly, particularly in the demanding environment of RC vehicles where vibrations, impacts, and repeated assembly cycles place stress on fastening systems. The M3 specification means this washer is engineered to work with M3 bolts and screws, providing the exact diameter and thickness required to distribute clamping forces evenly and prevent fasteners from pulling through softer materials like plastic or aluminium components found throughout RC car chassis and body assemblies. The silver finish indicates a quality surface treatment designed to resist corrosion and maintain appearance through repeated use. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and genuine parts, this FTX component ensures your brushless RC vehicle or any other model maintains the structural integrity and reliability that manufacturers designed into every assembly point.
