Fastrax Nyloc Nut M2 Black Metric Locking Fastener Pack of 4 FASTM2BK

Overview

The Fastrax Nyloc Nut M2 Black is an essential replacement hardware component for RC enthusiasts and modellers who require reliable fastening solutions for their scale models. Whether you're maintaining a 1/24 scale crawler, servicing an Axial SCX24, or upgrading spare parts for your FTX Outback Mini, this professional-grade locking nut delivers the security and reliability that serious RC hobbyists demand. Nyloc nuts are engineered with a nylon insert that creates a self-locking mechanism, preventing fasteners from vibrating loose during off-road driving, high-speed bashing, or competitive racing — making them an indispensable component in any RC car UK enthusiast's workshop.

Manufactured by Fastrax, a recognised brand trusted throughout the RC community, this M2 locking nut is designed for precision applications where loose fasteners could compromise vehicle safety and performance. The black finish provides a professional appearance whilst maintaining excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring your RC model maintains its aesthetic appeal through countless hours of bashing and competition. Available in a practical pack of four units, these nyloc nuts are an affordable way to keep your RC cars and trucks in peak condition, whether you run ready to run RC models straight out of the box or customise and maintain competition-grade setups.

If you're building, repairing, or fine-tuning any of the popular 1/24 scale crawlers on the market — including the FTX Outback Mini 3.0 Ranger available in multiple colours and finishes, or the extensive Axial SCX24 range featuring models from the Jeep Wrangler JLU to the Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Dodge Power Wagon, and Lexus GX 470 — you'll find these M2 fasteners deliver the reliability you need. For serious RC car enthusiasts in the UK seeking quality spare parts at competitive prices, the Fastrax Nyloc Nut M2 Black represents genuine value and engineering excellence.

Key Features

• Self-locking Nylon Insert Design — The integrated nylon insert creates permanent thread-locking friction that prevents fasteners from vibrating loose during intense driving, ensuring your RC model stays securely assembled through rough terrain, high-speed runs, and competitive courses without requiring additional threadlocker compounds.
• M2 Metric Thread Size — Perfectly sized for the vast majority of modern RC cars and crawlers, the M2 specification ensures compatibility with countless popular models including FTX and Axial platforms, making this a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts collection.
• Black Finish — The professional black coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and a clean, factory-finished appearance that complements modern RC model aesthetics whilst protecting the underlying metal from oxidation and weathering.
• Pack of Four Units — Receiving four nyloc nuts in each purchase means you have spares for multiple applications, whether replacing worn fasteners, building custom setups, or maintaining different RC vehicles simultaneously across your collection.
• Trusted Fastrax Quality — Manufactured by Fastrax, a brand with a proven reputation for producing reliable aftermarket and replacement parts that professional racers, weekend bashers, and modellers depend on for consistency and durability.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Nyloc Nut M2 Black represents precision engineering applied to a critical fastening component. The M2 metric thread is engineered to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth engagement with corresponding bolts and studs whilst the nylon insert provides consistent locking force that maintains fastener tension even under vibration, acceleration, and the lateral forces experienced during rock crawling, high-speed off-road driving, or competition courses. The black finish is applied through industrial processes that ensure uniform coverage and durability, protecting the steel substrate from rust and corrosion whilst maintaining the professional appearance expected in modern RC model construction. Unlike conventional nuts that can loosen over time and require periodic retightening, nyloc nuts provide permanent locking action that survives multiple assembly and disassembly cycles, making them ideal for modellers who frequently service, upgrade, and maintain their vehicles. The engineering behind this humble fastener demonstrates the attention to detail that separates quality RC spare parts from cheaper alternatives, particularly important when your RC car's safety and performance depend on every component functioning reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What vehicles are these M2 nyloc nuts compatible with? — These M2 fasteners are compatible with a comprehensive range of 1/24 scale crawlers and RC models, specifically including the FTX Outback Mini 3.0 Ranger in all colour variants (green, dark grey, and dark red), and the entire Axial SCX24 series including the Jeep Wrangler JLU, 1967 Chevrolet C10, 1971 Chevrolet C10, Lexus GX 470, Base Camp rock crawler, Ford Bronco models, Toyota 4Runner, Dodge Power Wagon, and Deadbolt rock crawler. If you're uncertain whether these nuts fit your specific RC model, cross-reference your vehicle's part list or contact our team at RC Model Shop for expert guidance.
• Why should I choose nyloc nuts instead of standard fasteners? — Nyloc nuts feature an integrated nylon insert that creates permanent thread-locking action, preventing fasteners from vibrating loose during driving. This is crucial for RC vehicles where vibration from engine operation, motor spin, wheel impacts, and suspension movement can cause standard nuts to work themselves loose over time, potentially leading to lost fasteners, misalignment, or catastrophic component failure. By using nyloc nuts, you eliminate the need for additional threadlocker compounds and achieve peace of mind knowing your RC model stays securely assembled.
• How many nyloc nuts do I need? — Each pack contains four M2 nyloc nuts, sufficient for multiple fastening applications on a single vehicle or to maintain spares for several models. The quantity you require depends on your specific application and build configuration. Most 1/24 scale models use multiple M2 fasteners throughout the chassis, suspension, and body panels, so having spare packs available is a practical approach to ensuring you always have replacements on hand.
• Can nyloc nuts be reused? — Whilst the self-locking capability of nyloc nuts is permanent and survives multiple assembly cycles, the nylon insert does experience gradual wear with repeated fastening and unfastening. For maximum reliability, particularly in competitive applications, many experienced RC enthusiasts replace nyloc nuts when servicing vehicles rather than reusing them indefinitely. However, they can typically be reused several times before the locking effectiveness diminishes significantly.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Nyloc nuts are an excellent choice for anyone maintaining RC vehicles, from complete beginners to advanced competitors. They require no special installation knowledge — simply use them as you would standard nuts — yet they provide the security and reliability that prevents one of the most common maintenance headaches in RC modelling: loose fasteners. If you're new to RC and want your model to stay in top condition, using quality fasteners like these Fastrax nyloc nuts from the start is a smart decision.
• What is the difference between these and standard nuts? — Standard nuts rely purely on friction between the bolt threads and nut threads to prevent loosening, and this friction diminishes with vibration over time. Nyloc nuts include a nylon ring or insert that creates additional locking friction independent of thread-to-thread contact, providing permanent security. The trade-off is that nyloc nuts cannot be installed and removed repeatedly as easily as standard nuts since the nylon insert creates resistance, but this is actually desirable because it prevents accidental loosening during use.
