Overview
Dial in perfect drivetrain tolerances and eliminate slop on 6mm-diameter axles with the Hot Racing Steel Shim Set in 6x7.4x0.1mm. This 10-pack of precision steel shims is the right tool for shimming 6mm-diameter axles, gears, and other drivetrain components found in countless 1/10 scale RC vehicles.
Even small amounts of end-play slop in the drivetrain waste power and create premature wear. By shimming components to correct tolerances, you eliminate vibration, reduce gear chatter, and dramatically improve drivetrain efficiency. Time spent shimming is time well spent — it's one of the most underrated performance upgrades in RC.
Key Features
- Precision steel construction
- 10 shims per pack — enough for multiple builds
- Designed for 6mm-diameter axles and components
- 0.1mm thickness for fine tuning
- Reduces slop between drivetrain components
Performance Benefits
- Eliminates end-play slop in axles and gears
- Reduces vibration and gear chatter
- More efficient power transfer through the drivetrain
- Extends the life of bearings, gears, and seals
- More predictable, consistent vehicle behavior
Usage Notes
Use a feeler gauge or trial fitment to determine the correct number of shims for your application. Stack multiple shims as needed to achieve the right end-play. Note: manufacturing tolerances of approximately +/- 0.02mm may be expected. Inspect for burrs and clean before installation.
