Precision Shimming with Arrowmax AM-020051

When a tight fit counts, Arrowmax AM-020051 aluminium shims give hobbyists a straightforward way to tune alignment and spacing on RC cars and trucks. They let you make small adjustments without upsetting overall setup balance.

Common Uses in RC Tuning

The 3X6X0.5 mm size suits gear mesh corrections, axle shims and other fine spacing jobs. These thin aluminium washers provide exact clearance while keeping added mass to a minimum. The orange finish helps you identify parts quickly during assembly and maintenance.

Lightweight and Durable Alloy

Machined from quality aluminium, the shims resist corrosion and maintain consistent thickness under load, so handling and drivetrain feel remain predictable after adjustments.

How many shims should I add to correct gear mesh?

Start with a single 0.5 mm shim and test mesh; add or remove one shim at a time until you get the desired backlash and smooth engagement.

Can these shims be used with metal gears?

Yes, they work with metal and plastic gears as spacing washers. Ensure surfaces are clean and check for any rubbing after installation.

Is it possible to trim or file these shims for a custom fit?

They can be lightly filed or sanded at the edge for minor clearance, but use fine tools and test frequently to avoid removing too much material.
