Technical Performance
The FTX Ruffneck Spacer Washer 7x 15x0.2mm represents precision engineering in a small but vitally important component. The outer diameter of 15mm provides a broad bearing surface that distributes load across a larger area, reducing stress concentration at critical pivot points and mounting locations. The inner bore diameter of 7mm allows it to fit snugly around standard fasteners commonly used throughout the Ruffneck's construction, including suspension links, transmission components, and drivetrain assemblies. The 0.2mm thickness is specifically calculated to provide the exact spacing required by FTX's engineering team, ensuring that when properly installed, all moving parts operate with correct clearances and alignment. This attention to dimensional accuracy is what separates genuine OEM spares from generic alternatives that may cause binding, misalignment, or premature wear. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability from their RC crawler, using factory-specification spacer washers like this ensures that expensive transmission components, suspension joints, and drivetrain elements remain perfectly positioned and operating smoothly throughout extended off-road sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need replacement spacer washers for my FTX Ruffneck RC car? — Spacer washers compress and wear over time with regular use, particularly in rock crawlers that experience intense suspension articulation and drivetrain stress. As washers compress, component spacing changes, which can lead to binding, misalignment, and accelerated wear of expensive parts. Replacing worn spacer washers restores proper spacing and keeps your Ruffneck performing at its best.
- Where exactly do these 7x 15x0.2mm washers fit on the Ruffneck? — These specific dimensions are used in various mounting points throughout the Ruffneck, including suspension linkage attachment points, transmission assembly areas, and drivetrain component spacing. Consult your Ruffneck's official parts diagram or user manual to identify the exact locations where this particular spacer washer is used.
- Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are original FTX specification spares, manufactured to match the exact dimensions and materials used in factory Ruffneck assemblies. Using genuine OEM parts ensures perfect fit and reliable performance.
- Do I need special tools to install these spacer washers? — Installation of spacer washers is straightforward and requires only basic tools such as hex keys and screwdrivers. Simply position the washer on the fastener before reassembling the component, ensuring it sits flat and fully supported.
- How many washers do I need to keep as spares? — Many RC enthusiasts keep 2-3 sets of commonly used spares on hand, including spacer washers. This ensures you can perform maintenance or repairs without waiting for new parts to arrive.
- What is the difference between this spacer washer and other FTX Ruffneck washers? — FTX Ruffneck uses various sizes of spacer washers and shims throughout its construction, each sized for specific applications. The 7x 15x0.2mm dimensions are engineered for particular mounting points where other sizes would not provide correct spacing or fitment.
