Shim Solutions for RC Precision

When minor spacing changes make a big difference, the Arrowmax AM-13SS0021 shims let you make precise corrections. This 10-pack of 5x7x0.1mm shims is aimed at hobbyists who need repeatable, thin spacers.

Keep Gears Running True

Proper shim use can tidy up gear mesh and lower endplay, improving consistency under load. Arrowmax AM-13SS0021 shims help maintain predictable drivetrain behaviour by removing small amounts of slack.

Practical Fitting Tips

Fit shims flat against the mating surface and recheck movement after each change. Their common size makes them a convenient spare for gearboxes, bearings and suspension link adjustments.

How do I measure the gap I need to shim?

Measure the current play with calipers or feeler gauges and add shims in small increments until the desired clearance or preload is achieved.

What maintenance do shims require?

Keep shims clean and free of grit; wipe them after dusty or wet runs and store flat to prevent bending.

Are these suitable for plastic gearboxes?

They can be used with plastic gearboxes where a thin metal spacer is acceptable; ensure the shim does not cause stress points on softer materials.

Why choose dedicated shims over folded metal or washers?

Purpose-made shims give a uniform thickness and fit, which is preferable to improvised spacers that can vary and affect tuning consistency.
