Overview
The Traxxas Nuts, 3mm nylon locking (12 pcs) TRX2745 are essential replacement fasteners for RC enthusiasts and hobbyists across the UK who demand reliability and precision in their model vehicles. Whether you're maintaining a Traxxas short course truck, rally car, or high-performance marine RC boat, these nylon locking nuts provide the security and durability needed to keep your RC car or truck running smoothly during intense racing sessions or casual weekend bashing. As a dedicated RC hobby enthusiast, you understand that quality fasteners are not an afterthought—they're critical components that prevent unwanted loosening during aggressive driving, jumps, and high-speed manoeuvres.
These 3mm locking nuts are specifically engineered by Traxxas, one of the world's most respected RC manufacturers, to meet the exacting standards required by competitive RC racing and recreational driving alike. Compatible with a wide range of Traxxas models including the popular Slash HD XL-5 short course truck, the high-performance Spartan brushless marine boats, and the Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL platform, these nuts are the genuine replacement parts you need to maintain your RC investment. For anyone involved in RC car UK communities, running Traxxas vehicles at local tracks, or simply enjoying RC as a hobby, having spare fasteners on hand ensures minimal downtime and maximum track time.
The nylon locking feature is what sets these nuts apart from standard hardware. The integrated nylon insert creates friction that resists vibration-induced loosening, a critical feature when your RC truck is experiencing the lateral G-forces and constant vibration of high-speed racing or rough terrain driving. This single detail can mean the difference between a successful run and a mid-race mechanical failure that leaves your RC model stranded on the track.
Key Features
- Nylon Locking Design — The integrated nylon insert prevents fasteners from vibrating loose during aggressive driving, racing, and high-impact use, ensuring your RC model stays assembled and performs reliably throughout your session.
- 3mm M3 Thread Size — These metric-standard fasteners fit a wide variety of Traxxas RC models and are among the most commonly used bolt sizes across the RC hobby, making them a versatile addition to your spare parts box.
- Silver Finish — The polished silver coating provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, particularly important if you're running your RC car or truck in wet conditions or near salt water environments common in UK coastal areas.
- Pack of 12 Units — With a dozen nuts included, you have sufficient spares for major rebuilds, multiple vehicle platforms, or to keep as backup stock so you're never caught without critical fasteners during a race event or maintenance session.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — As official Traxxas replacement parts, these nuts are manufactured to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and the same quality standards that Traxxas applies to all their RC vehicles and accessories.
- Wide Vehicle Compatibility — These nuts are compatible with numerous Traxxas models including the Slash HD XL-5 1/10 2WD short course truck, the high-speed Spartan brushless marine RC boats, and the Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL rally car platform, making them a smart investment for multi-model enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX2745 nylon locking nuts represent precision engineering in fastener design, manufactured from durable materials with exacting tolerances to ensure they perform flawlessly under the extreme conditions typical of modern RC hobby use. The 3mm M3 metric thread sizing is engineered to provide secure, vibration-resistant fastening on critical assemblies throughout your RC model, from suspension components to drivetrain elements and chassis attachment points. The nylon locking insert—a thin ring of nylon within the nut itself—creates interference with the bolt thread as it's installed, generating friction that prevents the fastener from loosening due to vibration, impact, and the repetitive stress loads experienced during high-speed RC racing and off-road driving. This engineering detail is particularly important when running brushless RC vehicles with their higher speeds and more aggressive acceleration profiles, or when navigating rough terrain in short course racing. The silver finish provides additional protection against corrosion, important for maintaining the fasteners' integrity over time, especially for RC boat users where saltwater and moisture exposure is a consideration. Each nut in this 12-piece pack has been manufactured to Traxxas' exacting quality standards, ensuring consistency across the entire batch. When you're running your RC car UK-style at local tracks, competing in organised events, or simply enjoying spirited weekend driving sessions, these fasteners provide the peace of mind that your model's critical connections remain secure throughout your session.
