Overview
The Team Losi Racing Black Aluminium Flanged Locknut is an essential hardware component designed for RC enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability in their machine setups. Whether you are running a competitive 1/10 scale buggy, maintaining a weekend basher, or building your first RC car UK experience, these lightweight aluminium nylock nuts are engineered to keep your RC vehicle secure and performing at its best. Team Losi Racing has established itself as a leader in the RC hobby, and these fasteners reflect that commitment to quality and performance that UK RC hobbyists have come to expect.
These flanged locknuts are specifically designed to hold tight under the demanding conditions of RC racing and regular use. The M4 x 0.7mm x 7mm specification ensures compatibility with a wide range of Team Losi Racing vehicles, and the pack of four nuts provides essential spares for maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. For anyone serious about their RC car performance, having quality fasteners on hand is crucial—these nuts are the kind of component that separates a well-maintained ready to run RC setup from one that requires constant adjustment and maintenance.
Constructed from lightweight aluminium, these nylock nuts combine durability with minimal weight addition to your RC vehicle. The nylock feature—a nylon insert that prevents nuts from loosening due to vibration—is particularly valuable in RC applications where constant motion and impact can work standard fasteners loose. Whether you are upgrading your Team Losi Racing 1/10 22 5.0 buggy, replacing worn fasteners, or building a custom setup, these black aluminium flanged locknuts are a worthwhile investment in your RC car UK collection.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — Made from lightweight aluminium rather than steel, these locknuts help keep your RC vehicle's weight to a minimum whilst maintaining the strength needed to secure critical connections on your buggy or truck.
- Flanged Design — The flanged head spreads load more evenly across the mounting surface, reducing the risk of pulling through softer materials and providing more secure fastening compared to standard locknuts.
- Nylock Insert — The nylon insert prevents vibration-induced loosening, a common problem in RC vehicles where constant motion and impacts can work standard fasteners free, ensuring your components stay securely fastened.
- M4 x 0.7mm Specification — The M4 size with 0.7mm pitch thread is widely used across Team Losi Racing vehicles, making these nuts compatible with numerous TLR models and platforms.
- Pack of Four — Receiving four nuts in this pack gives you essential spares for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades, ensuring you always have replacements on hand when needed.
- Black Finish — The black anodised finish provides both aesthetic appeal and enhanced corrosion resistance, protecting your hardware from the elements during outdoor RC sessions.
Technical Performance
These Team Losi Racing Black Aluminium Flanged Locknuts represent precision engineering in miniature form. At M4 x 0.7mm x 7mm, they are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect thread engagement with their corresponding bolts. The aluminium material offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, critical in RC applications where every gram counts towards overall performance and handling characteristics. The flanged head design increases the bearing surface area, which is particularly important when fastening plastic or composite parts that might otherwise be damaged by concentrated pressure from a standard locknut. The nylon insert, a hallmark of quality nylock nuts, provides secure retention without requiring additional threadlocker compound, saving time during assembly and maintenance whilst ensuring reliability. These fasteners are engineered specifically for the demanding environment of RC racing, where vibration, impacts, and constant acceleration and deceleration create forces that can loosen inferior fasteners. Whether you are maintaining a ready to run RC buggy or undertaking a complete rebuild, the quality and precision of these locknuts ensures your vehicle remains secure and performs consistently across both carpet and dirt surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Team Losi Racing vehicles are these locknuts compatible with? — These M4 x 0.7mm x 7mm nuts are compatible with multiple Team Losi Racing models including the 1/10 22 5.0 2WD Buggy (AC Race Kit for Astro/Carpet and DC Race Kit for Dirt/Clay variants), the 1/10 22 5.0 2WD DC ELITE Race Kit, the 1/10 22 5.0 2WD Spec Racing Kit, and the 1/10 22 5.0 DC Race Roller 2WD Buggy. They are listed as optional replacement parts and spares for these vehicles, making them invaluable when maintaining or upgrading your TLR machine.
- Why would I need replacement locknuts for my RC buggy? — Locknuts can wear over time, the nylon insert can degrade with repeated use and heat, or they may be stripped or damaged during maintenance. Having spare locknuts ensures you can quickly replace worn fasteners without having to wait for deliveries, keeping your RC car UK setup running smoothly.
- What makes nylock nuts better than standard locknuts? — Nylock nuts feature a nylon insert that creates friction against the bolt thread, preventing the nut from loosening due to vibration—a critical advantage in RC vehicles where constant motion and impacts would quickly work standard fasteners loose. This means more reliable fastening with less need for regular checking and tightening.
- Are these nuts suitable for beginners? — Yes, these locknuts are suitable for anyone maintaining or building an RC vehicle. They are standard components used on Team Losi Racing vehicles, and keeping spares on hand is recommended practice for all RC enthusiasts, from complete beginners discovering the RC hobby for the first time to experienced competitors.
- What is the advantage of aluminium over steel locknuts? — Aluminium locknuts are significantly lighter than their steel equivalents, which is a critical consideration in RC vehicles where total weight affects acceleration, handling, and overall performance. The lighter construction helps keep your vehicle's centre of gravity lower and improves responsiveness without sacrificing the strength needed for secure fastening.
