Precision Spacers for Chassis Setup

For modellers and racers seeking fine adjustments, the Serpent 110410 shims provide fixed 3x5x2mm spacing for suspension parts, wheel hubs and linkage points. These spacers help address alignment variances and assist in achieving consistent handling on the track or at practice.

Product Features

Size: 3x5x2mm, useful for precise spacing corrections on many RC components.
Material: Designed to be durable so shim thickness remains reliable during use.
Compatibility: Broadly applicable across different chassis layouts for setup and repair.
Quantity: Pack contains 10 pieces to cover several adjustments or to keep as spares.

How do I choose where to place these shims?

Identify the mating surfaces that influence geometry, such as hub faces or link mounts, then add or remove shims to correct play or alignment step by step.

Will 3x5x2mm be enough for small corrections?

This size is intended for small, precise adjustments; if larger changes are needed consider combining shims or sourcing other sizes to achieve the correct setup.

Do I need to retorque parts after shim installation?

Yes, always recheck and retorque fasteners after fitting shims to ensure components are secured and the intended spacing is maintained.

Are these shims suitable for vintage or retro models?

They can be useful for older models where small spacing corrections are required, provided the bore and boss dimensions match the shim size.

Any tips for fitted shims that move under load?

If shims shift, check that mating faces are clean and flat, consider light threadlocker on fasteners where appropriate, and ensure correct stacking and seating before final torque.
