Key Features
- Heavy Duty Steel Construction — Manufactured from premium-grade steel, these washers are engineered to withstand the stresses and vibrations encountered in RC vehicles, delivering reliable fastening performance whether you're running high-speed RC buggies or technical RC crawlers.
- 3mm Conical Profile — The conical washer design distributes load more effectively than standard flat washers, reducing stress concentration on fastening points and helping to prevent bolt loosening during aggressive driving or rough terrain RC adventures.

- Pack of 10 — Convenient bulk supply means you'll have spare washers for multiple RC projects, repairs, and upgrades without needing to reorder frequently for your RC car or truck collection.
- RC4WD Genuine Manufacturing — These washers are produced by RC4WD, a recognised leader in scale RC components and upgrades, ensuring compatibility with RC4WD suspension systems and aftermarket RC parts commonly used in UK RC vehicles.
- Versatile Application — Perfect for RC suspension rebuilds, drivetrain assembly, body mount fastening, and any other RC project requiring durable, precision washers that meet OEM specifications.
Technical Performance
These RC4WD Heavy Duty Steel Silver 3mm Conical Washers represent precision engineering in small-scale fastening. The 3mm diameter specification matches the fastening standards used throughout modern RC vehicle platforms, from scale crawler suspension systems to high-performance RC buggy drivetrains. The conical design is particularly valuable in RC applications where suspension geometry must be carefully maintained—the tapering profile of conical washers helps maintain proper alignment whilst distributing fastening loads more evenly across mounting points than conventional flat washers. The heavy-duty steel construction provides superior strength compared to alternative materials, essential for RC vehicles experiencing repeated shock loads during jumping, cornering and terrain negotiation. The silver finish is applied through durable coating processes that resist the effects of mud, water, and UV exposure common in outdoor RC driving. These washers are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent sizing across the entire pack of 10 units, which is critical when assembling precision RC suspension systems or replacing fastening components in existing RC vehicle setups. Whether used in 1/10 scale RC crawlers, 1/8 scale RC buggies, or other RC platforms, these washers deliver the reliability and finish quality that discerning RC builders expect from RC4WD components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size fasteners are these RC4WD washers designed for? — These are 3mm conical washers, making them compatible with 3mm fastening systems commonly found in RC suspension components, drivetrain parts, and body mounting points across most modern RC vehicles built to international standards.
- Why should I use conical washers instead of flat washers on my RC vehicle? — Conical washers provide superior load distribution and help maintain proper bolt preload and suspension geometry in RC applications where repeated vibration and shock loading occur. The tapered design reduces stress concentration and helps prevent bolt loosening during aggressive RC driving.
- Are these washers suitable for all RC vehicle types? — Yes, these 3mm conical washers are versatile fastening components suitable for RC crawlers, RC buggies, RC trucks, RC stadium racers, and any other RC platform using 3mm fastening systems. They're equally appropriate for hobby builds, competitive RC racing, or casual bashing.
- How many projects can I complete with a pack of 10? — A single washer is needed per fastening point, so ten washers will service approximately one full RC suspension rebuild, or several minor assembly and upgrade projects. Having spare washers on hand is always recommended for RC enthusiasts maintaining multiple vehicles.
- Will these washers rust or corrode? — The silver finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these washers suitable for outdoor RC use. However, regular cleaning and occasional light maintenance will extend the service life, particularly if your RC vehicle frequently encounters wet conditions or muddy terrain.
- Are these genuine RC4WD components? — Yes, these washers are manufactured directly by RC4WD, ensuring authenticity, quality control, and compatibility with other RC4WD aftermarket suspension and drivetrain components used throughout the UK RC community.
