M4WD-03/RE red M6.4 x 1.7 spacer for tuning bearing endplay

The red M6.4 x 1.7 spacer is engineered as a compact axial separator for Mini 4WD bearing stacks used in race setups where precise endplay tuning matters. It is supplied as a spacer element only and is intended to control axial clearance inside rollers, hubs, and gear stacks without acting as a structural axle or bearing.

For setup work, measure spacer outer diameter and thickness with calipers and compare to the bearing inner diameter and hub bore to ensure correct seating and preload. Use the spacer to fine tune axial clearance for smoother rotation and reduced friction in competitive layouts.

Assembly best practice: support bearings during fitment to avoid lateral loading and keep contact faces clean. The finish is cosmetic; performance depends on dimensional accuracy and consistent tolerances for race reliability.

Spacer thickness sets axial gap between bearing faces; a slightly thicker spacer reduces axial play while an undersized spacer can introduce endplay. Adjust incrementally and verify rotation.
Confirm all spacer dimensions with precision tools, inspect bearing runout, and ensure hubs and rollers seat the spacer without wobble. Recheck after a short break-in run.
Yes, precise spacer sizing can alter axial clearance in gear stacks, affecting mesh and drag. Use measured changes and test lap times to evaluate effect.
Check spacers each service interval or after any impact; tiny dimensional changes can influence bearing behaviour in high precision race setups.
