Accurate 0.3 mm Shims for Model Tuning

For precise setup work, the Serpent SER110408 shim pack is a practical accessory. The bundle contains ten 3X5X0.3 shims made to help you perform small, reliable spacing adjustments in your RC model.

When to Use Thin Shims

Thin shims let you dial in clearances that affect alignment and reduce unwanted drag between moving parts. They are especially handy for gear mesh tuning, tweaking suspension geometry, and correcting small assembly offsets.

Use Cases and Fitment

The Serpent 3X5X0.3 shims are compatible with many common RC tasks. Use them for gearbox spacing, aligning linkages, or any application needing consistent 0.3 mm increments to achieve repeatable setups.

How do I know if a shim is needed between parts?

Inspect for rubbing, binding, or excessive play. If components are misaligned or gears do not mesh cleanly, a 0.3 mm shim can correct spacing without major disassembly.

Are these shims suitable for competitive race setups?

Yes, they are commonly used in race prep to fine tune tolerances. Use shims to achieve repeatable geometry and consistent gear engagement for reliable lap times.

Can these shims damage anodised surfaces?

If over tightened, metal shims can mar anodised finishes. Take care with torque and consider using a thin protective sleeve or light grease where cosmetic finish matters.

What is the advantage of using 3X5X0.3 size specifically?

That size fits many common fastener and shaft arrangements while providing a precise 0.3 mm increment, which is a useful step size for fine tuning without overcorrection.
