RC4WD 5mm Black Spacer with M3 Hole Pack of 10 Z-S0821

Overview

The RC4WD 5MM BLACK SPACER WITH M3 HOLE (10) Z-S0821 is an essential pack of precision spacers designed for RC enthusiasts, modellers and hobbyists who demand clean, consistent spacing in their builds. Whether you're working on an RC car, truck, crawler or custom assembly, these practical spacers provide the exact 5mm gap you need when using M3 hardware. This is the kind of small component that makes a real difference to the overall quality and appearance of your RC project, ensuring professional-looking results every time. Available at RC Model Shop, the UK's trusted online RC retailer, this pack of 10 spacers represents excellent value for money and is an ideal addition to any modeller's spare parts collection.

These spacers are particularly valuable for RC builders working with M3 screws and nuts across a wide range of RC vehicles and custom assemblies. The black finish ensures the spacers blend seamlessly with most RC builds, creating a tidy, integrated look rather than standing out as an afterthought. Whether you're assembling a Gelande II chassis, upgrading suspension components, or fabricating custom brackets and mounts, the 5mm height provides the precise spacing needed to keep everything aligned and properly spaced. For anyone serious about RC cars UK, these spacers are a must-have component in your workshop.

Manufactured by RC4WD, a recognised brand in the RC scale modelling community, these spacers benefit from the same attention to detail and quality that enthusiasts have come to expect from the brand. The pack contains 10 individual spacers, giving you plenty to work with for multiple projects or to keep as spares for future builds. With free UK shipping available on orders over £100 from RC Model Shop, adding these spacers to your order is a cost-effective way to enhance your RC building capabilities.

Key Features

• 5mm Height — Each spacer provides exactly 5mm of spacing, which is a standard measurement widely used in RC assembly where consistent gaps are critical for proper alignment and clearance between components.
• M3 Hole — The centre hole is threaded to accept standard M3 hardware including screws and nuts, making these spacers compatible with a vast range of RC components and custom builds without requiring adapters.
• Black Finish — The sleek black colour matches most modern RC chassis and components, ensuring the spacers disappear visually into your build rather than creating visual clutter or drawing unwanted attention.
• Pack of 10 — With ten spacers included, you have enough for multiple projects, subsystems or to keep spares on hand for future builds and repairs without needing to reorder frequently.
• Precision Engineering — RC4WD spacers are engineered to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent dimensions that maintain proper alignment and spacing throughout your RC vehicle or custom assembly.
• Universal Compatibility — These spacers work across RC cars, trucks, crawlers and general model fabrication projects wherever M3 hardware and 5mm spacing is required, making them genuinely versatile.
• Professional Appearance — Using proper spacers instead of improvised alternatives results in a cleaner, more professional-looking build that reflects quality workmanship and attention to detail.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD 5MM BLACK SPACER WITH M3 HOLE represents precision engineering at its finest, despite being a small component. These spacers are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure that the 5mm height is consistent across all ten units in the pack, eliminating frustrating variations that could throw off alignment in your RC builds. The M3 hole is precisely sized to accept standard M3 hardware without excessive play or wobbling, yet allows smooth assembly and disassembly without requiring force that could damage components. The black finish is applied to provide both aesthetic appeal and light corrosion resistance, meaning these spacers will maintain their appearance through multiple build cycles and storage periods. Whether you're working on suspension mounting points, chassis standoffs, differential installations or custom fabricated brackets, these spacers provide the structural precision needed to keep everything square and true. The robust construction ensures they won't compress or deform under normal RC use, maintaining their exact 5mm dimension across years of hobby use. For RC enthusiasts in the UK building everything from scale crawlers to high-speed buggies, these spacers are an investment in build quality that pays dividends in appearance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are these spacers used for in RC cars and trucks? — RC spacers like these are used to create precise gaps between components such as suspension mounting points, chassis standoffs, steering linkages and custom brackets. In RC vehicles, consistent spacing is critical for proper alignment, suspension geometry and component clearance. These 5mm spacers are particularly useful in RC builds where you need to offset components by exactly 5mm to maintain correct spacing without introducing play or misalignment.
• Will these work with my RC car or truck? — Yes, these spacers are designed for universal compatibility with any RC car, truck, crawler or custom assembly that uses M3 hardware. Whether you're building a rock crawler, buggy, monster truck or short course truck, if you're using M3 screws and nuts and need 5mm spacing, these spacers will work perfectly in your build.
• What is the difference between 5mm spacers and other sizes? — The key difference is the height of the spacer. 5mm spacers create a 5mm gap between components, whilst other spacers like 3mm, 10mm or 15mm would create different gaps. For your specific project, you need to measure the exact spacing required and select the corresponding spacer size. The 5mm height in this pack is ideal for many common RC applications including suspension mounting and chassis assembly.
• Are these spacers strong enough for RC trucks and crawlers? — Yes, RC4WD spacers are engineered for durability and won't compress or deform under normal RC use. Whether you're running a lightweight buggy or a heavy-duty rock crawler, these spacers maintain their exact 5mm dimension and won't introduce slop or misalignment over time. They're suitable for both basher and competition use.
• Can I use these spacers for projects other than RC vehicles? — Absolutely. These spacers are suitable for general model fabrication and any project requiring M3 hardware with 5mm spacing. They work equally well for custom model building, display stands, drone frames or any mechanical assembly where precise spacing is important.
• How many spacers do I need? — This depends on your specific project. A typical RC build might use 4-8 spacers for suspension and chassis work, so the pack of 10 gives you plenty for one substantial build with spares, or enough for multiple smaller projects.
