Perfect factory replacement for the shims behind the pins on the axles on basically any 1/10 scale Traxxas
Perfect for fixing my tire wobble! Added extra on my front axles to stop the tire wobble. ??
They wear out fairly quickly when under pressure, but are cheap and useful on many vehicles.
Great Teflon washers! I’m hoping to find these washers (let’s call them spacers) in a 0.3mm and 0.1mm sizes so that wheel axle free play would be easier to set up. Peace!
We can read 5 or 6 x 8 x 0.6 on the bag's photo but it is 5x8x0.5 as describ in intems tittle. Good washers to adjust on lot of rc items.
Reviewers consistently rate these Teflon washers highly and describe them as a practical replacement or shim for taking up play in axles and wheel assemblies, with several noting use on Traxxas 1/10 scale and Hoss models. Some use them to reduce tire wobble. One reviewer reports the washers wear out quickly under load, and another says they will melt under high load. A bag photo appeared to show a 0.6mm thickness, but the reviewer confirmed the 0.5mm size listed. One reviewer would like thinner 0.3mm and 0.1mm sizes for finer free-play adjustment.
