The Serpent 110474 is a 4x8x0.2mm micro shim designed to make fine corrections to gear mesh and component spacing within model car drivetrains. It is a straightforward accessory used to address small axial or lateral play by adding a known thickness.
To fit the shim, lay it flat between the mating surfaces that need correction, rotate the assembly by hand to confirm smooth engagement, and add or remove shims in small increments until the correct clearance and alignment are achieved. Handle with clean tools to avoid bending the shim during placement.
In tuning sessions, the 0.2mm increment is valuable for altering gear stack height, adjusting motor pinion spacing, or fine-tuning bearing preload where slight changes affect noise and component life. Use the shim as a precise adjustment tool rather than a cure for worn parts.
