Looking for a small aluminum/plastic spacer... - 09.15.2010, 06:16 PM

I need a few small aluminum/plastic spacers to go between a piece of aluminum and a diff case. The spacer needs to fit around a M3 screw and be roughly 1/4 to 5/16" long...

any ideas?

Axial has a large selection of spacers for m3 screws. Not $2 cheap, but very handy. You can find them on tower and the usual places.

If you have a LHS near by you can scour the Losi and TRX stuff in packages, there are several difference small plastic washers and spacers availible. "Shock accesorys" etc. Of course you'd have to stack them .


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Try these. I have ordered several different kits from T/H and gotten good use of various spacers from there.
