Key Features
- M2 Size Thread — This fastener features a precise 2mm metric thread size, making it perfectly compatible with Axial SCX24 models and other 1/24 scale RC vehicles that utilise M2 fastening points throughout their chassis and suspension assemblies.
- Nylon Locking Insert — The integrated nylon insert within the nut creates permanent friction against the bolt thread, preventing the fastener from loosening due to vibration and shock loads encountered during aggressive off-road driving, eliminating the need for additional lock washers or thread-locking compounds.
- Pack of Ten Units — This supply pack contains ten individual nylon locking nuts, providing ample fasteners for repairs, replacements, or complete vehicle builds, ensuring you always have spares available in your RC tool kit.
- Black Colour Finish — The black finish provides a clean, professional appearance whilst offering subtle corrosion resistance, maintaining the aesthetic of your RC scale model crawler during extended use.
- Genuine Axial Component — As an official Axial spare part with part number Z-AX31147, this product offers genuine OEM quality and perfect fitment with Axial 1/24 SCX24 models, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability across the entire SCX24 platform.
- Flanged Design — The flanged nut design features a wider bearing surface against components, distributing fastening force more effectively and reducing the likelihood of fasteners pulling through softer materials commonly found in plastic RC chassis and body components.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Nylon Locking Nut 2mm represents precision engineering specifically tailored for 1/24 scale RC rock crawlers and off-road vehicles. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, the M2 metric thread ensures perfect compatibility with corresponding bolts across Axial's comprehensive SCX24 product range. The nylon insert technology employed in these fasteners utilises a high-quality polymer that maintains its locking characteristics through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, a critical consideration for RC enthusiasts who regularly maintain and upgrade their models. The black metal construction provides excellent durability whilst resisting corrosion from moisture and salt exposure encountered during outdoor RC driving. The flanged head design distributes clamping pressure across a larger surface area compared to standard hex nuts, making these fasteners particularly suitable for securing components to plastic chassis and body panels where point loading could cause damage. Each nut in this ten-piece pack maintains consistent quality standards, ensuring uniform performance across your entire RC vehicle build. For 1/24 scale enthusiasts building or maintaining models like the SCX24 Chevrolet trucks, Lexus GX 470, Base Camp, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler JLU, Jeep Gladiator, and Dodge Power Wagon variants, these fasteners represent an investment in reliability and vehicle longevity, preventing the frustration of loose fasteners during critical moments on the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a nylon locking nut and why do I need one for my RC car? — A nylon locking nut is a fastener that incorporates a nylon insert which creates friction against the bolt thread, preventing vibration from causing the nut to loosen. In RC vehicles, constant vibration from motors, suspension movement, and terrain impacts can cause standard nuts to gradually unscrew. Nylon locking nuts solve this problem permanently, ensuring your RC crawler stays properly assembled during intense off-road driving without requiring regular re-tightening.
- Will these Z-AX31147 nuts fit my Axial SCX24 model? — Yes, the AXIAL Nylon Locking Nut 2mm Z-AX31147 is specifically designed for Axial 1/24 SCX24 models. Our source documentation confirms compatibility with numerous SCX24 variants including the Chevrolet C10 4WD Truck, Lexus GX 470 4x4 Rock Crawler, Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler, Ford Bronco 4X4, Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler JLU, Jeep Gladiator, and Dodge Power Wagon 4WD Rock Crawler RTR models.
- How many nylon locking nuts does this pack contain? — This pack contains ten individual M2 nylon locking nuts, providing a practical supply for multiple repairs, replacements, or complete vehicle assemblies. Given the number of fastening points on typical RC crawlers, this quantity represents a useful spares supply for regular RC enthusiasts.
- Can I reuse nylon locking nuts? — Nylon locking nuts can typically be reused several times before the nylon insert becomes worn and loses its locking effectiveness. However, frequent assembly and disassembly may gradually reduce the friction provided by the nylon insert. Once you notice a nut spinning freely without resistance, it's time to replace it with a fresh unit from your spare pack.
- How do these locking nuts compare to using thread-locking compound? — Nylon locking nuts offer permanent vibration resistance without requiring chemical compounds, making them more convenient for frequent adjustments and maintenance. Unlike thread-locking compounds which can be messy and require careful handling, nylon inserts provide instant locking action and allow tool-free removal when necessary, making them ideal for RC hobbyists who regularly tinker with their vehicles.
- Are these genuine Axial parts? — Yes, the Z-AX31147 is an official Axial spare part manufactured to OEM specifications. Using genuine Axial fasteners ensures perfect fitment with your SCX24 model and maintains the quality standards that Axial enthusiasts expect from their vehicles.
