Key Features

• Flanged design — The integrated flange increases the contact area against the wheel, distributing pressure more evenly and preventing fasteners from sinking into soft materials whilst significantly improving overall holding strength and durability.
• Serrated surface — The serrated flange features a textured, jagged surface that creates mechanical grip against the wheel surface, providing superior anti-rotation properties that keep the nuts securely locked in place even under extreme vibration and intense RC action.
• Nylon locking mechanism — These nuts incorporate a nylon insert that creates friction when the bolt is threaded through, providing a reusable locking feature that prevents fasteners from vibrating loose during driving without requiring permanent modification or locking compound.
• 5mm size — Specifically engineered to fit Traxxas standard 5mm fastening points, ensuring perfect compatibility with your RC model and guaranteeing proper fitment without forcing or over-threading.
• Steel construction — The metal core provides exceptional strength and durability, resisting corrosion and maintaining structural integrity through repeated assembly, disassembly and harsh RC driving conditions.
• Set of eight — This generous pack of eight nuts gives you sufficient quantity to complete a full four-wheel replacement or to stock spares for future maintenance, ensuring you're always prepared for essential repairs and upkeep.
• Genuine Traxxas parts — Manufactured to the original specification and quality standards, these are authentic Traxxas components that guarantee compatibility and reliability with your RC vehicle.

Technical Performance

These 5mm flanged nylon locking nuts represent a critical advancement in fastener technology for precision RC models. The combination of a serrated steel flange with an integrated nylon locking insert creates a dual-action security system that addresses two of the most common issues RC enthusiasts face: fasteners backing off due to vibration, and wheels slipping on their hubs during aggressive driving. The serrated flange creates a mechanical grip that prevents rotational movement, whilst the nylon insert provides friction-based locking that prevents the fastener from backing out over time. The steel construction ensures these nuts will withstand the punishment of rough terrain, high-speed driving and repeated assembly cycles without stripping, deforming or failing. The M5 (5mm) thread size is the industry standard for Traxxas RC vehicles, particularly professional-grade models like the UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance in demanding applications. Whether you're running a brushless RC buggy, electric RC truck or any other Traxxas model, these nuts provide the security and peace of mind that your wheels will remain firmly attached through every corner, jump and obstacle.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these locking nuts reusable? — Yes, the nylon insert in these locking nuts can be reused multiple times, making them a cost-effective choice for RC enthusiasts who regularly maintain and modify their vehicles. However, if the nylon becomes worn or damaged, the nuts should be replaced to maintain proper locking security.
• What vehicles are these compatible with? — These 5mm flanged nylon locking nuts are compatible with Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck models, and many other Traxxas RC vehicles that use standard 5mm fastening points. Check your vehicle manual to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
• Why do I need locking nuts for my RC car? — Standard nuts can vibrate loose during intense RC action, potentially causing your wheels to separate from your vehicle. Locking nuts with serrated flanges and nylon inserts prevent this dangerous situation by creating both mechanical grip and friction-based security, ensuring your wheels stay firmly attached even through aggressive bashing and racing.
• How many nuts do I need? — A standard RC vehicle with four wheels requires four wheel nuts. This pack of eight nuts provides a complete replacement set for one vehicle plus spares, or sufficient inventory for maintaining multiple RC models.
• Can I reuse the old fasteners from my vehicle? — If your existing fasteners are still in good condition, you can transfer them to another project. However, if they show signs of stripping, corrosion or wear, replacing them with these genuine Traxxas locking nuts will restore proper security and reliability.
• Are these suitable for high-speed RC racing? — Absolutely. The combination of serrated flange and nylon locking mechanism makes these nuts ideal for competitive RC racing where vibration and impact forces are extreme. Professional RC competitors rely on these nuts to keep their wheels secure throughout intense race sessions.
