Overview
The ARRMA Wide Flanged Nyloc Nut M4 (4) Z-ARA-2472 is an essential replacement hardware component for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and precision in their models. Whether you're running a high-performance 1/10 scale RC car, a stadium truck, or any other RC vehicle that uses M4 fasteners, these flanged nyloc nuts provide the secure, vibration-resistant fastening solution you need. As a trusted spare part from ARRMA, a recognised manufacturer of premium RC components, these nuts are engineered to maintain their grip under the demanding conditions of RC racing, bashing, and competitive driving.
Precision-engineered and manufactured from high-quality materials, this pack of four nuts represents genuine ARRMA hardware designed specifically for models like the ARRMA 1/10 VORTEKS 223S DSC 2WD RTR Brushless Stadium Truck. If you're a seasoned RC enthusiast or weekend basher, you'll understand the frustration of loose wheel nuts during a race or bash session. These nyloc nuts eliminate that problem entirely, giving you the confidence to push your RC to its limits without worrying about mechanical failures caused by vibration.
What sets these nuts apart from standard fasteners is their combination of engineering features specifically designed for high-vibration applications. The serrated flange bites aggressively into the wheel surface, creating a mechanical lock that prevents loosening even under intense cornering and acceleration forces. The nylon insert further reinforces security, making these nuts the go-to choice for serious RC car UK enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on reliability.
Key Features
- Nyloc Insert for Vibration Resistance — The integrated nylon insert creates a locking mechanism that prevents the nut from loosening due to vibration and repeated impact, which is essential when running your RC car at high speeds or during aggressive bashing sessions.
- Serrated Flange Design — The serrated flange bites directly into the wheel surface, providing a mechanical lock that works in conjunction with the nyloc insert to deliver superior security and prevent accidental loosening during tight cornering.
- Wide 10.8mm Diameter Flange — The large flange distributes clamping force across a wider area of the wheel, reducing the risk of wheel damage while providing extra security and stability during driving.
- M4 Machine Thread — Precision-threaded to ISO standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with M4 studs and consistent, repeatable assembly across all your RC vehicles.
- 7mm Hex Size — The hex socket is sized for standard 7mm hex drivers, making installation and removal straightforward with commonly available RC tools.
- Silver Colour Finish — The polished silver finish not only looks professional on your RC car but also resists corrosion, extending the lifespan of these fasteners even in outdoor bashing conditions.
- Precision Manufacturing — Each nut is manufactured to exacting tolerances using high-quality materials, ensuring long service life and reliable performance across multiple racing seasons.
- Pack of Four — Four nuts are included per pack, which is typically enough for one complete set of wheels on standard RC vehicles, though you may want to keep spares on hand.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA Wide Flanged Nyloc Nuts represent the pinnacle of precision RC hardware engineering. Manufactured using high-quality materials and precision engineering, each nut is designed to withstand the extreme forces generated by modern brushless RC cars and trucks. The combination of the serrated flange and nyloc insert creates a two-stage locking system that provides redundant security. When you tighten an M4 nut onto your wheel stud, the serrated flange immediately bites into the soft aluminium wheel, creating a mechanical lock. Simultaneously, as you continue to tighten, the nylon insert engages with the thread, creating friction that resists any attempt at loosening. This dual-action approach means your wheels will stay firmly attached even when driving over rough terrain, landing jumps, or executing rapid direction changes. The 10.8mm diameter flange is significantly larger than standard wheel nuts, which provides two key benefits: first, it distributes the clamping force over a larger area, reducing localised stress on your wheel; second, it provides a larger contact surface for the serrated teeth to grip. The 7mm hex size makes these nuts compatible with standard RC hex drivers and multi-tools, so assembly is quick and straightforward. For RC car UK buyers, these specifications represent everything you need in a replacement wheel nut—security, durability, and ease of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these nyloc nuts suitable for high-performance brushless RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. These nyloc nuts are specifically designed for the demanding conditions of modern brushless RC vehicles. The combination of the serrated flange and nylon insert provides the security needed to keep your wheels attached during high-speed runs, jumps, and aggressive cornering. Whether you're racing a stadium truck, buggy, or basher, these nuts will maintain their grip.
- Will these nuts fit my ARRMA RC model? — These Wide Flanged Nyloc Nuts M4 are compatible with the ARRMA 1/10 VORTEKS 223S DSC 2WD RTR Brushless Stadium Truck and other ARRMA models that use M4 wheel studs. If you're unsure whether they fit your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our experienced team at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- What is the difference between nyloc nuts and standard wheel nuts? — Standard wheel nuts rely solely on thread tension to stay tight, which gradually loosens under vibration and impact. Nyloc nuts feature a nylon insert that creates additional friction and resistance to loosening. The serrated flange in this product adds a third security feature—a mechanical lock that bites into the wheel. This makes nyloc nuts significantly more reliable for RC vehicles that experience constant vibration.
- How do I install these nuts? — Installation is straightforward. Simply thread the nut onto your M4 wheel stud using a 7mm hex driver, then tighten firmly. The serrated flange will bite into the wheel surface as you tighten, and you'll feel increased resistance once the nylon insert engages with the thread. Tighten until firm, but avoid over-tightening as this can damage the wheel.
- Can I reuse nyloc nuts multiple times? — Yes, nyloc nuts can typically be reused several times. However, each time you remove and reinstall a nyloc nut, the nylon insert gradually wears down. After several removal cycles, the locking action may become less effective. For maximum security, consider replacing nyloc nuts after 5-10 removal cycles, which is why keeping spare nuts on hand is always wise.
- Why do my wheel nuts keep loosening? — Standard fasteners loosen due to vibration, a phenomenon well-documented in mechanical engineering. Nyloc nuts combat this through the nylon insert, while the serrated flange in these ARRMA nuts adds mechanical locking. If you've been experiencing loose wheel nuts, upgrading to these wide flanged nyloc nuts will resolve the problem and give you peace of mind during every run.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, the Z-ARA-2472 is genuine ARRMA hardware. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, an authorised ARRMA dealer, you're getting authentic parts manufactured to ARRMA specifications with full compatibility guarantees.
