Precision Preload Adjustment with ROCHE Belleville

The ROCHE 430012 5mm Belleville Washer is a handy component for fine preload adjustment in RC car suspension. It offers a straightforward way to alter the shock stack without changing springs or shock oil.

How Hobbyists Apply These Washers

Hobbyists use these washers to tune preload and achieve specific handling traits. Stacking or flipping the washers changes how quickly the suspension ramps up, helping dial in understeer or oversteer for particular track conditions.

Compatibility Notes and Typical Uses

The ROCHE 5mm Belleville Washer fits most 1/10 scale RC models and suits both touring and lightweight off-road rigs. Its compact size makes it useful in tight shock assemblies where fine adjustments are required.

Can I mix different Belleville washer thicknesses?

Mixing thicknesses can work but test incrementally. Different profiles change the preload curve, so log changes to reproduce setups later.

Will these help with bottoming out on rough tracks?

Adding Belleville washers can increase resistance near the end of travel and reduce harsh bottoming, but pair with proper shock oil and spring rates for best results.

Do I need special tools to fit them?

No special tools are required. A set of pliers and a clean workspace are sufficient, and small tweezers can help with precise placement.

Should I record washer stacks in my setup notes?

Yes, note the number and orientation of washers for each test. It helps you repeat successful setups across sessions.
