Overview
The Losi 17mm Flanged Wheel Nut in black is an essential replacement or upgrade component for enthusiasts of the Losi Super Rock Rey and Super Baja Rey range. These precision-engineered wheel nuts are designed to securely fasten your RC truck's wheels whilst maintaining the durability and performance standards Losi is renowned for across the RC hobby community in the UK. Whether you're a weekend basher, an off-road racer, or someone who demands the best from their RC car UK setup, having quality wheel retention hardware is absolutely critical to safe and reliable operation.
This pack contains four individual flanged wheel nuts, perfect for replacing worn, damaged or lost fasteners on your Losi vehicles. The serrated design ensures positive engagement and minimises the risk of loosening during aggressive driving, which is particularly important when tackling challenging terrain in off-road RC driving. As an authorised Losi retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine OEM components that are engineered to the exact specifications your Losi truck demands, guaranteeing perfect fitment and long-term reliability.
Key Features
- 17mm Size — These wheel nuts are precisely sized at 17mm to fit the wheel hubs of compatible Losi models, ensuring proper thread engagement and secure fastening that won't slip or loosen during intense driving sessions.
- Serrated Design — The serrated flange provides enhanced grip and prevents rotational slippage between the nut and the wheel surface, which is critical when you're driving at speed or over rough terrain where vibration is constant.
- Flanged Construction — The integrated flange distributes pressure evenly across the wheel surface, reducing the risk of damage to your wheel finish and providing a more secure mechanical lock compared to standard nuts.
- Black Anodised Finish — The black colour coating provides excellent visual continuity with most Losi models whilst offering protective anodisation that resists corrosion, particularly important if you run your RC truck in wet or muddy conditions.
- Pack of Four — This pack includes four nuts, providing complete coverage for all four wheels of your Losi RC truck, plus spares if you need them for maintenance or have multiple vehicles in your RC collection.
- OEM Quality — As genuine Losi components, these wheel nuts are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, guaranteeing compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives often cannot match.
Technical Performance
The Losi 17mm Flanged Wheel Nut represents precision engineering at its finest for RC hobby applications. The 17mm diameter is specifically matched to the wheel hub specifications of Losi's 1/6 scale vehicles, including the Super Rock Rey and Super Baja Rey platforms, ensuring that the thread pitch and engagement are perfectly calibrated for reliable fastening. The serrated flange design is a critical engineering feature that prevents the nut from loosening under the constant vibration and shock loads generated during RC off-road driving, particularly when running brushless electric motors that deliver consistent and high torque output to the wheels. The black anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; it provides a protective oxide layer that guards against oxidation and corrosion, extending the service life of these fasteners even in challenging weather conditions or when the RC truck is exposed to moisture, mud, and saltwater environments common in UK outdoor RC activities. The engineering philosophy behind these wheel nuts prioritises secure fastening and durability, recognising that wheel retention is fundamental to safe RC vehicle operation and driver confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these Losi 17mm flanged wheel nuts fit my Super Rock Rey? — Yes, these wheel nuts are specifically designed for the Losi 1/6 Super Rock Rey and are confirmed compatible with this platform. The 17mm size matches the wheel hub specifications precisely, ensuring proper thread engagement and secure fastening across all four wheels.
- Why do wheel nuts have a serrated flange? — The serrated flange design prevents the nut from rotating relative to the wheel surface, which is critical on high-performance RC trucks where vibration from brushless motors and rough terrain could otherwise cause fasteners to loosen over time. This mechanical lock is far superior to smooth-surface nuts for demanding RC applications.
- How often should I replace wheel nuts on my RC truck? — Wheel nuts should be inspected regularly for wear and damage, particularly if you bash your RC vehicle frequently or drive in muddy conditions. Most users find that genuine OEM nuts like these Losi components remain serviceable for extended periods, but having spares on hand is always sensible for maintenance and repair situations.
- Are these compatible with other Losi models? — These wheel nuts are confirmed compatible with the Losi 1/6 Super Baja Rey SBR 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Truck RTR in both Yellow and Blue variants. For other Losi models, always verify the wheel hub diameter matches 17mm before purchase to ensure proper fitment.
- What makes genuine Losi parts better than cheap alternatives? — Genuine Losi components are engineered and manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure perfect compatibility, reliable performance, and longevity. OEM parts are tested extensively to handle the stresses and vibrations generated by high-performance brushless RC trucks, whereas aftermarket fasteners often use inferior materials and manufacturing processes that can lead to failures and potential safety hazards.
