This Serpent SER110475 part is specified as 4x8x0.3 and functions as a thin washer spacer for RC assemblies. It is intended to make fine positional corrections where minimal clearances affect drivetrain alignment, steering link geometry, or suspension setup.
Use shims like this to remove lateral movement, set correct shaft endplay, and produce consistent stacking when assembling gearboxes or steering components. Because the part is identified by its dimensions, ensure 4x8x0.3 matches the required size for your chassis location before fitting.
Fitting is straightforward: place the shim at the point needing reduced clearance, then test movement after each change to avoid over-tightening bearings or link pivots. If necessary, stack thin shims to reach intermediate thicknesses and then re-check preload and free movement.
Store shims flat to prevent warping and keep them separate from other hardware to avoid size mix-ups during servicing. For precise model fitment, consult the vehicle's exploded diagram or parts list rather than assuming compatibility from appearance alone.
