Control shaft play with 6mm shims

When precise shaft clearance matters, the Tamiya 53726 shim selection gives you small-step control. The pack contains ten 0.1mm, ten 0.2mm and ten 0.3mm shims so you can tune endplay and gear mesh accurately.

Ideal for various RC builds

These shims work well on touring cars, rally rigs and off-road machines. They let you fix small alignment issues on axles and within gearboxes without swapping bearings or hubs.

Durable, repeatable adjustments

Tamiya shims provide consistent thickness for predictable setups. Keep them in your tool kit to simplify setup changes and routine maintenance between runs.

How do I check if a shim is needed?

Check for side to side play or noisy gear engagement. If bearings or gears have excessive movement, adding a shim can remove slack and stabilise operation.

Will these shims cause binding if overused?

Yes, too much shim thickness can preload bearings or tighten gear mesh. Add shims incrementally and test rotation to avoid binding.

Are they suitable for both metal and plastic housings?

They can be used with both, but ensure the seating surface is clean and flat. Thin shims are forgiving, but check for edge lift on uneven housings.

How should I store leftover shims?

Keep them flat in a small container or the original packaging to avoid bending and to make future tuning quick and consistent.
