Fine tune axle play with the Tamiya 53588 shim kit

The Tamiya 53588 10mm Shim Set provides a simple way to improve precision in your RC model's moving parts. These small shims help reduce unwanted movement in wheel axles and suspension links, giving a steadier, more controlled feel on track.

Practical uses for hobbyists

Use the Tamiya 53588 shims to refine steering response on an on-road car or to remove endplay on an off-road machine. They are ideal when you need micro adjustments to dial in predictable handling without swapping major components.

Measuring and installing the shims

Check the gap you need to fill with a feeler or test fit, then select matching 10mm shim thicknesses for a firm but non binding fit. These shims are compatible with many Tamiya parts and can suit other brands where the 10mm sizing fits.

They are useful for reducing play at suspension pivots, wheel axles and other 10mm bore locations where small adjustments improve handling.
Yes, stacking different shim thicknesses lets you incrementally close gaps until you achieve the desired fit. Keep stacks minimal to avoid binding.
Avoid permanent adhesives and use minimal threadlocker only where needed. This keeps shims serviceable for future adjustments.
