What is this called?
I was looking at my bearings because i was going to get new ones soon. i have a traxxas xl-5 with a vxl motor and the same bearings it came with stock. so i was wondering what this was. i looked in the exploaded views and i found out it's just a washer thing. do i need to replace this? or just bearings? thanks. here are the pics.

Its a traxxas fiber washer- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJJ88&P=7
Its to keep the stub axles from having to much slack and reaking havoc on your bushings/bearings.
