Default gold spacer on the Kyosho Main Gear Shaft

I am trying to find a few of the little gold spacers that go on the main gear shaft when you use the spacer to center your motor on the SC6. Dose any one have a part number or an idea where I could locate some. They look like a 5mm bushing but not sure what type of supplier might carry some thing like that.

Know anybody with a lathe? $10 worth of 7mm brass rod can make a whole bunch of spacers.
The closest I know of without some research is the LA253 bearing spacers.

Can anyone tell me the length and approximate lb inch for the XGS033 springs? These are the orange super hard rears for the SC6.

You can use the RB6 steel axles which come with shims. They are fair stronger than the SC6 kit axles. Another nice thing about these front axles is the allow one to adjust the track width as the hex is very thin thus allowing one to shim inward or outward.

Also the front tower has 4 holes to bring the shocks out more for better handling.

You talking about the UM714 in the RB6 picture? I haven't owned a RB6 so not sure of the setup or thickness. I have got the Exotek ones and they are just over 2mm thick. It looks to be just plastic spacers, is that correct?

Those knuckles are the same as the SC6. The RB6 front steel axles look much like the other aftermarket front axles with the super thin hex. I would use metal spacers over the plastic should be 5mm by 7mm shims thus the thinner the better as you can tune in finer increments.

Thanks for your help. Sorry, few more questions.

What is the closest setup with the rb6 axle etc. compared to the standard axle setup? eg; 1mm inner, 2mm outer? I see the RB6 one pictured above comes with spacers/shims where as the Exotek doesn't.

Also, because the hex is so thin, should I consider spacers between hex and wheel?
