This set provides eight precision aluminium shims at 3x6x3.0mm made for R/C applications. The black anodised coating helps resist wear and maintains consistent shim thickness across contact surfaces. Use these when incremental spacing or preload adjustments are needed.
Application notes: position shims between bearings, shafts, hubs, or mounting points to remove axial play, improve gear engagement, or tweak component alignment. Since each shim is a fixed 3.0mm, stacking combinations let you reach the required clearance without further machining.
Installation tips: clean all mating surfaces before installation to avoid trapping debris, line up shim edges with housing openings to prevent interference, and check running clearances after reassembling. For vibration-prone areas use an appropriate threadlocker or locking fasteners.
Tuning and handling: aluminium shims offer predictable, repeatable spacing adjustments valuable during chassis setup and iterative tuning processes, for instance when relieving driveline binding or centring rotating parts.
