Accurate shaft clearance tuning with Tamiya 53585

The Tamiya 53585 3mm Shim Set offers a simple, reliable way to adjust clearance on 3mm shafts used across many RC models. With shims in 0.1mm, 0.2mm and 0.3mm sizes, you can make fine incremental changes to suspension pivots, steering assemblies and small rotating parts.

Tuning tips for improved handling

Removing excess play or preventing binding at pivot points improves predictability and reduces uneven wear. These shims are a low-risk method to test clearance changes before committing to more invasive fixes.

Kit breakdown and counts

The set contains ten pieces each of 0.1mm, 0.2mm and 0.3mm, supplying 30 shims in total so you can trial different layouts and keep replacements on hand.

Start with the thinnest shim to eliminate play without adding drag. Work up in small steps until you reach the desired free movement.
Yes. Any model using 3mm shafts can benefit from these shims, whether you need precise touring adjustments or robust off-road clearance tuning.
Store them flat in a small parts tray or envelope to avoid bending. Keep like-thickness pieces together for quick access during setup.
