Thanks!

From the TCS Rules website:

14. The use of thin shims (available at most hobby stores and now made available by Tamiya) to space out the slop or play in suspension arms, steering bell-cranks and wheel axles is now permitted in all vehicles except in the spec class. (New as of 2003 season). Shimming the aforementioned components of the car in a way that alters the geometry of the car or its basic geometry design is not legal.
