Rc10 rear axle cone washer substitute?

Post by 85Edinger »

Hello all,
My cone washers are getting a little squished, and they are backordered most places. Before I order from rc10.com or Robobugs, does anyone know of a substitute that fits the stock axles? Thanks.

If your using bearings the 1/4 axle shims #6373 are the way to go

Cool, thanks. So I just put enough in to take out the slop? Doesn't rub on the shield?

Nope, that's what they are made for. You can use them to move the axle in and out to keep the universal from popping out of the cup if you are using universals or cv's. with stub axles I usually run 2-3 inside and use as many as needed to take out the play without binding on the outside.

Since 6373 has been discontinued, I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative? (rebuilding an original RC10 Worlds and missing a few shims)
