- OEM Element RC Part — This is a genuine original equipment manufacturer part from Element RC, ensuring perfect compatibility and fitment with your trail truck without compromise on quality or performance standards.
- Essential Wear Item — Spacers experience wear during regular use as they maintain proper spacing under suspension loads and drivetrain forces, making replacement spacers an important maintenance item for any active RC enthusiast.

Technical Performance
Element RC Enduro Trail Trucks are purpose-built machines engineered for off-road performance, and every component plays a role in maintaining that capability. Spacers may seem like simple components, but they are fundamental to proper suspension geometry and drivetrain alignment. The 3x7mm plastic spacer set ensures that your truck's suspension remains properly spaced and aligned, which is essential for maintaining consistent handling characteristics across different terrain types and driving conditions. Plastic spacers offer several advantages over metal alternatives: they are lightweight, corrosion-resistant (particularly important for RC vehicles that may be exposed to moisture and mud), and they reduce wear on metal components they interface with. The precise 3x7mm dimensions ensure that Element RC's engineering tolerances are maintained, preserving the factory-intended ride height, suspension geometry, and drivetrain performance that makes these trail trucks capable of tackling challenging terrain with confidence and control.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly are spacers and why does my RC trail truck need them? — Spacers are small components that maintain precise spacing between suspension components, gears, and other drivetrain elements. They ensure your truck maintains its factory geometry and performance characteristics. Over time, plastic spacers can wear through normal use, causing alignment issues. Replacing worn spacers restores your truck to its original performance specification.
- How do I know if my Element RC truck needs new spacers? — Signs that spacers may need replacement include unusual suspension behaviour, changes in handling, excessive play or movement in drivetrain components, or visible wear on existing spacers during maintenance. If you own an Element RC Enduro Trail Truck and use it regularly, having spare spacers on hand is always a smart move.
- Are plastic spacers suitable for trail truck use? — Yes, plastic spacers are ideal for trail trucks. They offer excellent durability for RC applications, resist corrosion from mud and moisture exposure, provide consistent spacing without metal-on-metal wear concerns, and keep overall weight low. Element RC engineers specifically selected plastic construction for these spacers in their Enduro Trail Truck range.
- Will this spacer set work with all Element RC models? — No, this spacer set is specifically designed for Element RC Enduro Trail Truck models. Always verify your specific model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility. The models listed in the compatibility section above are guaranteed to work with this spacer set.
- Can I use this spacer set as an upgrade on other RC vehicles? — Whilst the 3x7mm dimension might physically fit other RC vehicles, this spacer set is engineered specifically for Element RC Enduro Trail Trucks. Using these spacers on other brands or models may result in improper fit, alignment issues, or performance problems. Stick to using them with compatible Element RC models.
- How often should I replace my spacers? — Spacer replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and conditions. Regular bashers who use their trucks frequently might replace spacers annually, whilst casual users may find their spacers last much longer. Inspect spacers during routine maintenance and replace when you notice wear, damage, or excessive play.
