Slim Aluminum Shims for RC Precision

The RADTEC 3x5.5x0.5mm Aluminum Spacer set gives hobbyists a neat way to dial in clearances on models. Each shim is made from anodized aluminum in orange and supplied as a pack of ten for consistent use across multiple service jobs.

Fit and Typical Uses

Designed for assemblies needing a 3mm ID spacer, these shims are useful when precise 0.5mm increments matter, such as between gear faces or under suspension mounts. The matched thickness across all ten ensures predictable results when swapping or stacking pieces.

Why the Anodized Finish Matters

Beyond the visual appeal, the anodized coating helps protect the aluminum and reduces surface wear during repeated assembly. The material keeps weight low while offering good resistance to corrosion in hobby environments.

Are these compatible with standard 3mm spacers?

Yes, they are made to the common 3mm inner diameter size and can replace similar 3mm spacers where the 5.5mm outer diameter is acceptable.

Do they change balance or handling noticeably?

Individual shims are very light so a single spacer has negligible effect on handling. Use matched sets if you need repeatable weight distribution across components.

Can I use these with bearings or bushings?

They can be used where a 3mm bore spacer is required between bearings or bushes, but always verify outer diameter clearance and that the shim does not interfere with bearing seals.

Are the shims precision ground to 0.5mm?

The set is specified at a uniform 0.5mm thickness for consistent spacing. For critical measurement use a caliper to confirm individual pieces before final assembly.
