These spacers are particularly popular with Gelande II owners and anyone working with metric M3 fastening systems on their ready to run RC models or custom builds.
Key Features
- 3mm Width Specification — Each spacer is precisely manufactured to 3mm width, ensuring accurate spacing in your RC assemblies and allowing you to achieve the exact tolerances your build requires without compromise.
- M3 Centre Hole — The M3 threaded hole ensures perfect compatibility with standard M3 bolts and fasteners commonly used throughout RC car construction, providing a reliable connection point for suspension components, chassis mounts, and other critical assemblies.
- Black Finish — The black powder-coated or anodised finish matches common RC hardware and gives your build a professional, tidy appearance that blends with your chassis, suspension parts, and other components without standing out awkwardly.
- Pack of Ten Units — Rather than buying single spacers, you receive a pack of ten, giving you convenient spares for multiple builds, future projects, or replacements if any spacer becomes damaged during use or maintenance.
- Gelande II Direct Compatibility — These spacers are specifically suggested for compatibility with the popular RC4WD Gelande II scale crawler, meaning RC enthusiasts can confidently order knowing they'll fit their existing builds without any fitment issues.
- Reliable Quality — As an official RC4WD product, these spacers meet the brand's standards for quality and durability, ensuring they won't strip, crack, or fail during normal RC operation on track, trail, or in the workshop.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD 3MM Black Spacer with M3 Hole represents precision engineering in miniature form. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, these spacers ensure that your M3 fastening systems maintain proper clearance and alignment, which is critical for suspension geometry, chassis balance, and overall vehicle handling in scale RC crawlers and other applications. The 3mm width is a standard spacing requirement in RC vehicle design, particularly for trail trucks and scale builds where correct suspension geometry directly impacts your vehicle's ability to climb obstacles, maintain traction, and deliver responsive control. The M3 hole is threaded or precision-drilled to accommodate standard M3 bolts without wobbling or play, ensuring your assemblies remain tight and secure even after repeated use, maintenance cycles, and the vibration that comes with off-road RC driving. The black finish is applied through professional coating methods that resist chipping and maintain their appearance even after extended use. Each spacer in the pack of ten is individually manufactured to consistent specifications, meaning you can mix and match them across multiple RC builds with confidence that they'll all perform identically. For UK RC enthusiasts working with metric hardware, these spacers eliminate the guesswork and trial-and-error that comes with improvised spacing solutions, allowing you to complete your builds quickly and correctly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an M3 spacer used for in RC car building? — M3 spacers like these are used to create precise spacing between components in your RC vehicle's chassis and suspension system. They sit between bolts and fasteners to ensure correct clearance and geometry, which is essential for proper suspension performance, steering response, and overall vehicle handling on the trail or track.
- Are these spacers suitable for my RC4WD Gelande II scale crawler? — Yes, these spacers are directly compatible with RC4WD Gelande II crawlers and are specifically recommended for this popular scale vehicle. If you own or are building a Gelande II, these spacers will fit perfectly with your existing hardware and assembly points.
- What is the difference between metal and plastic spacers for RC vehicles? — RC4WD manufactures quality spacers designed for durability and precision. These black spacers provide consistent spacing without the risk of plastic deformation under stress or heat. They're the professional choice for serious RC builds where reliability matters.
- Can I use these spacers on other RC vehicles besides the Gelande II? — Yes, these 3mm M3 spacers are universal hardware components that work with any RC vehicle using M3 fastening systems. Whether you're building a crawler, buggy, truck, or other RC model with metric M3 bolts, these spacers can be used wherever 3mm spacing is required in your design.
- How many spacers do I need for my RC project? — The pack contains ten spacers, which is typically sufficient for a complete build or multiple repair and maintenance projects. However, the more complex your RC assembly, the more spacers you might use, so having spares on hand is always sensible for UK RC enthusiasts who like to tinker and experiment with setups.
- Will these black spacers match my RC hardware? — The black finish is designed to complement standard RC hardware and components, making them visually cohesive with your build. Whether your fasteners are black, silver, or mixed finishes, these spacers integrate naturally into your overall RC vehicle appearance.
