Key Features

• Aluminium Construction with Blue-Anodised Finish — These nuts are machined from lightweight aluminium and finished with a vibrant blue anodised coating that resists corrosion, looks professional, and complements most RC truck colour schemes. The anodised finish provides durability against UV fading and the elements, ensuring your nuts maintain their appearance through countless hours of RC action.
• Flanged Design for Enhanced Grip — The flanged profile increases the surface area that contacts the wheel, distributing clamping force more evenly and preventing the nuts from digging into softer wheel materials. This means your wheels stay more securely mounted and the nuts are less likely to damage wheel rims during removal and installation.
• Serrated Surface for Positive Lock — The serrated flange creates a mechanical lock between the nut and the wheel, preventing rotation and loosening from vibration. This is especially important during intense RC track racing or off-road bashings where suspension loads and impacts would otherwise cause standard nuts to vibrate loose over time.
• Nylon Locking Washer Technology — Built into the nut design, the nylon locking washer provides a secondary safety feature that prevents the nut from working loose through vibration and repetitive suspension movement. This proven lock-nut technology is the same mechanism used in full-size motorsport and industrial applications, adapted for RC scale.
• Perfect Finishing Touch — These nuts significantly improve the visual appearance of your RC truck or crawler, giving a more polished, professional look compared to standard hardware. They're the kind of detail upgrade that shows you care about your RC investment and want it to look as good as it performs.
• Pack of Four for Complete Wheel Coverage — Each pack contains four nuts, perfect for replacing all four corner nuts on your RC car. Whether you're doing a complete refresh or replacing damaged hardware, you'll have everything needed for all four wheels in one convenient pack.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas TRX1747R nuts represent precision engineering at the RC scale. Machined from high-quality aluminium, the material choice ensures the nuts are strong enough to hold your wheels securely whilst remaining light enough not to add unnecessary unsprung weight to your suspension system. The blue-anodised finish isn't just aesthetic; anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, making it significantly more resistant to corrosion, UV degradation, and the elements than bare aluminium. The 4mm (M4) sizing is the industry standard for most 1/10 scale RC vehicles, from short course trucks to crawlers to buggies. The flanged design increases the bearing surface area from approximately 12.7mm² (standard nut) to roughly 50mm² or more, dramatically reducing point loading and preventing the nut from sinking into softer composite or plastic wheels. The serrated flange provides positive mechanical locking through friction and interference fit, whilst the integrated nylon washer adds a second layer of vibration resistance. Together, these features create a locking mechanism that is virtually impossible to loosen through normal use, even under extreme RC driving conditions with high-frequency suspension oscillation and lateral cornering loads. The engineering is straightforward but highly effective: the nylon washer (approximately 0.5mm thick) is soft enough to deform slightly around the bolt threads, creating enough friction to resist loosening while remaining easy to remove when you need service access.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas RC cars are compatible with these TRX1747R nuts? — These 4mm flanged nuts are compatible with an extensive range of Traxxas vehicles including the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4, Slash 4X4 BL-2S, Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, Slash VXL, Slash HD XL-5, Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, Mini Maxx BL-2S, Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL, Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S, TRX-4 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne, TRX-4 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT, TRX-4 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, TRX-4 1979 Chevy Blazer, TRX-4 2021 Ford Bronco, TRX-4 Defender, and many more Traxxas 1/10 scale models. If you own a Traxxas RC car in the UK, these nuts are almost certainly compatible — check your vehicle manual to confirm the wheel nut size.
• Will these nuts prevent my wheels from coming loose during aggressive driving? — Yes, absolutely. The combination of the serrated flange and the nylon locking washer is specifically designed to prevent loosening from vibration and impact. Customers consistently report that once these nuts are installed, their wheels stay tight even during the most intense bashing sessions, high-speed racing runs, and challenging crawling situations. The mechanical lock created by the serrated flange means you can drive with confidence knowing your wheels aren't going anywhere.
• Do I need any special tools to install these nuts? — No, these nuts use the same M4 threading as standard Traxxas wheel nuts, so installation is straightforward with a standard 6mm socket or wrench. They install exactly like factory nuts but provide much better security and a significantly improved appearance. Installation takes just minutes, and you don't need any specialist tools or equipment.
• Are these better than the stock Traxxas nuts? — Yes, in several ways. Stock Traxxas wheel nuts are functional but basic; these TRX1747R nuts offer superior locking security through the combination of serrated flanges and nylon washers, a more attractive blue-anodised finish that looks professional and polished, and better protection against corrosion. The larger flange distributes clamping force more evenly, reducing the risk of wheel damage. For any RC enthusiast who wants the best combination of looks, security, and reliability, these are a worthwhile upgrade.
• How many nuts do I need for my RC truck? — You need one nut per wheel, so a standard 4-wheel RC truck or crawler requires 4 nuts total. This pack contains exactly 4 nuts, providing complete coverage for all four wheels on a single vehicle. If you're upgrading multiple RC cars or want spare sets, you may wish to order multiple packs.
• Will these nuts work with beadlock wheels? — Yes, these nuts are compatible with both standard wheels and beadlock-style wheels, as long as the wheel has standard M4 bolt holes. The flanged design actually works particularly well with beadlock wheels, as the larger bearing surface provides excellent clamping distribution.
