Overview of Arrowmax 3x5x2mm Aluminium Shims

These Arrowmax aluminium shims provide precise spacing solutions for RC enthusiasts. At 3x5x2mm they are tailored for delicate adjustments where consistent thickness is required, such as gear mesh and suspension setups.

Typical Applications in RC Builds

Use them for gearbox spacing, fine tuning linkages and shimming suspension components. The compact dimensions make them compatible with many standard hobby fittings, and the orange tone helps keep small shims easy to find.

Durability with Low Weight Penalty

Crafted from aluminium, these shims resist deformation while keeping added weight to a minimum, making them a reliable option for regular maintenance and race day setup changes.

How should I store spare shims to avoid damage?

Keep spares in a small parts organiser or sealed bag to prevent scratches and mix ups, and label sizes to speed up repairs.

Can I trim these shims to a custom shape?

Yes, aluminium shims can be filed or cut carefully for custom fit, but work slowly and deburr edges to maintain fit and avoid sharp metal edges.

Do these shims need thread locking when used near fasteners?

Shims themselves do not require thread lock, but where they sit near threaded fasteners you may use a mild thread locker on screws as per the component manufacturer recommendations.
