0.08mm spacers 4WD System

Precision Axial Adjustment for the Slot.it 4WD System

The SICH94 spacers from Slot.it are reference pieces when working with the brand's four-wheel-drive system. With a thickness of 0.08 mm, they allow for precise regulation of the play between the axle components and the transmission, which is fundamental for the 4WD to operate smoothly, quietly, and efficiently.

Function and Performance

In any drivetrain, axial play has a direct impact on the car's response and the wear of components. Excessive play generates clearances that result in vibration, noise, and loss of transmitted power. Insufficient play, on the other hand, causes friction and overheating. These 0.08 mm spacers allow for achieving the optimal point with a level of adjustment that cannot be attained with thicker spacers.

As they are a very fine measurement, they are particularly useful in the final tuning phases, when a basic adjustment has already been achieved with thicker spacers and only the last tenths of a millimetre need to be fine-tuned.

Compatibility

These spacers are designed to be used within the Slot.it 4WD component ecosystem. They are intended for those who assemble or adjust chassis with the brand's all-wheel-drive system, whether in workshop configurations or in competition-oriented setups.

For exact compatibility with other components of the 4WD system (crown gears, pinions, axles, and mounts), consult the Slot.it catalogue or combine them with the other references from the SICH range available at Ministry of Hobby.

Assembly and Preparation

Assembling spacers of this precision requires patience and the right tools. It is advisable to work with a digital caliper to verify the actual play before and after each modification. Adding or removing a 0.08 mm spacer can make the difference between a drivetrain that sings and one that operates silently.

• Always measure the axial play before intervening.
• Combine spacers of different thicknesses to reach the target value.
• Check the free rotation of the axle after each adjustment before closing the chassis.
• Replace spacers if they show deformation or wear marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a 0.08 mm spacer used for in the 4WD system?

It is used to regulate the axial play between the transmission components. Such a thin thickness allows for fine-tuning the adjustment in the final preparation phase, when thicker spacers have already resolved the bulk of the play and only the last tenths of a millimetre of clearance or friction need to be eliminated.

Can I combine it with other Slot.it spacers of different thicknesses?

Yes. The usual practice is to use spacers of different thicknesses in combination until the optimal axial play is reached. The SICH94 acts as a fine adjustment complementing thicker spacers.

Is it a piece only for competition or is it also suitable for recreational use?

It is suitable for both contexts. In competition is where the greatest difference is noticed, but any enthusiast who wants their 4WD car to operate smoothly and reliably benefits from correct axial adjustment.

How many spacers are included in the package?

The available information does not specify the exact number of units per package. Please check the updated listing at Ministry of Hobby or contact our team to confirm before placing your order.

The Slot.it SICH94 are 0.08 mm shims designed for the Slot.it 4WD transmission system. These precision shims allow fine-tuning of axial play in four-wheel-drive slot car setups, ensuring smooth, efficient power transfer and reduced wear. An essential reference for serious slot car builders and racers working with Slot.it 4WD components.
