Overview
The FTX Outlaw Washer 8x5x0.2mm (6pc) is an essential replacement and upgrade component for owners of FTX RC buggies and crawlers across the UK. These precision-engineered washers are designed to provide critical spacing, shimming, and load distribution functions throughout your RC car's chassis and suspension systems. Whether you're maintaining your FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR buggy, setting up your FTX Kanyon 4x4 crawler, or tuning your FTX Zorro Trophy Truck, these washers are fundamental to achieving optimal performance and longevity. RC enthusiasts in the United Kingdom who demand reliability and precision engineering will appreciate the quality and compatibility of these FTX genuine parts.
Washers might seem like small components, but they play a vital role in RC car assembly and maintenance. They distribute loads evenly across bolted connections, reduce friction between moving parts, prevent fasteners from pulling through softer materials, and allow for fine-tuning of suspension geometry and clearances. Having a quality set of replacement washers in your spares box is essential for any serious RC hobbyist, whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual outdoor RC driving or a dedicated competitor preparing your ready to run RC buggy for the track.
This pack contains six individual washers manufactured to FTX's exacting specifications, ensuring consistent quality and perfect fitment with other genuine FTX components. The compact size and reasonable price make this an affordable upgrade that every RC enthusiast should consider adding to their spares collection.

Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw Washer 8x5x0.2mm washers are engineered with precision tolerances to meet the demanding requirements of modern RC vehicles. The 8mm outer diameter provides sufficient load-bearing surface area, while the 5mm inner hole accepts standard RC fasteners used throughout FTX's range of buggies and crawlers. The 0.2mm thickness is deliberately engineered to provide precise shimming without creating excessive gaps in your suspension geometry. These washers are particularly useful for adjusting caster and camber angles, spacing suspension arms at different heights, creating proper clearances between components, and compensating for manufacturing tolerances or wear in older RC vehicles. The compact size means multiple washers can be stacked together if greater overall spacing is required, making this a versatile solution for numerous tuning scenarios on your FTX Outlaw, FTX Kanyon, or FTX Zorro. Quality materials ensure these washers will withstand repeated installation and removal without deformation or damage, maintaining their dimensional accuracy throughout the lifespan of your RC car.
