They are used wherever a small amount of clearance needs to be taken up or a rotating part needs to be positioned precisely without adding friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause POM is slick and dimensionally stable, these spacers work well against both metal and plastic surfaces - on shafts, screws, suspension pivots and drivetrain components - where a metal washer would bind or wear. Each spacer is 5.5mm in outside diameter and 0.5mm thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded in polyacetal (POM) for low friction and smooth motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5mm thickness for fine shimming and clearance adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.5mm outside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight - adds minimal rotating or unsprung mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable resin resists wear, oil and grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a set of four spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves slop and end play so drivetrain and suspension parts run true\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower friction than metal washers, so bearings and pivots spin more freely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLets you fine-tune ride height, gear mesh spacing or link position in small increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuieter operation than metal-on-metal shimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStack spacers to build up the exact thickness you need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck for free rotation after shimming - snug, not preloaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonly used on Tamiya 1:10 touring, buggy and truck chassis during assembly and hop-up work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep spares on hand; small shims are easy to lose during teardown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Tamiya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem No.: TAM54855\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside diameter: 5.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 0.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Polyacetal (POM) resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: 4 spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(4) 5.5x0.5mm POM spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-fitment-audit=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible RC vehicles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal 1:10 RC fitment - suits Tamiya touring car, buggy and truck chassis and any build calling for a 5.5mm outside-diameter, 0.5mm thick shim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSummary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 5.5x0.5mm POM shims from Tamiya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-friction polyacetal runs smoother than metal washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for taking up slop in drivetrain and suspension assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, durable and easy to stack for custom thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67880366407986,"sku":"TAM54855","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/9980\/2927\/files\/tam54855_bd640925-5b2d-49af-8194-89c37a84a3ab.jpg?v=1790708584","url":"https:\/\/rchopupparts.com\/products\/tam54855","provider":"RC Hop Up Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
