Overview
The FMS Nylon Flange Lock Nuts M4 are essential replacement fasteners designed specifically for the 1:10 F100 RC car platform and compatible with a wide range of 1/10 scale RC models. These precision-engineered lock nuts feature a nylon flange that prevents vibration-induced loosening, making them indispensable for maintaining structural integrity during aggressive driving sessions. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast enjoying weekend bashing or a competitive racer pushing your RC car UK setup to its limits, having quality replacement fasteners on hand is crucial for uninterrupted performance.
Lock nuts play a vital role in RC vehicle assembly and maintenance. Unlike standard nuts, the nylon insert in these flange lock nuts creates friction that resists loosening caused by continuous vibration and impact forces encountered during off-road RC driving. This feature is particularly important for RC cars, where loose fasteners can lead to component failure, poor handling characteristics, and potential damage to your investment. The M4 size makes these nuts suitable for numerous mounting applications across your RC car platform, from suspension components to body panels and chassis assemblies.
FMS, a recognised manufacturer of high-quality RC products, delivers these lock nuts with the same attention to detail and manufacturing standards you would expect from a professional RC car supplier. Whether you're building a ready to run RC car from scratch or maintaining an existing model, having a supply of quality replacement lock nuts ensures your vehicle remains secure and reliable. These nylon flange lock nuts represent an affordable insurance policy against vibration-related fastener failure, keeping your RC car performing at its best.
Key Features
- Nylon Flange Design — The integrated nylon insert creates reliable friction that prevents vibration-induced loosening, ensuring fasteners remain secure even during high-intensity driving sessions, cornering and impacts that would cause standard nuts to gradually work free.
- M4 Thread Size — The M4 specification provides compatibility with standard mounting points across most 1/10 scale RC car platforms, making these nuts suitable for suspension linkages, body mounting, and chassis assembly applications.
- 1:10 F100 Compatibility — Specifically designed and tested for the FMS 1:10 F100 platform, these nuts ensure factory-correct fitment and performance characteristics that maintain your RC car's structural integrity and handling dynamics.
- Quality Construction — Manufactured to professional standards by FMS, these lock nuts deliver reliable performance and durability through countless driving sessions and maintenance cycles.
- Essential Replacement Part — Whether you've lost fasteners during disassembly or experienced fastener failure during driving, having genuine replacement lock nuts ensures your RC car remains safe and reliable.
Technical Performance
The FMS Nylon Flange Lock Nuts M4 are engineered from quality materials selected for durability and reliable performance in demanding RC car environments. The nylon flange component is carefully designed to provide consistent friction without becoming brittle or degraded through repeated use cycles. These fasteners are manufactured to strict tolerances that ensure they engage cleanly with M4 threaded components across your RC car's chassis, suspension, and body assembly. The material selection ensures compatibility with standard steel and aluminium components found throughout 1/10 scale RC platforms. For RC car UK enthusiasts and competitive drivers alike, these lock nuts represent the kind of small but crucial component that separates reliable, well-maintained vehicles from those prone to vibration-related failures. The nylon insert maintains its grip characteristics across temperature ranges typical of both indoor and outdoor RC driving conditions, ensuring consistent performance whether you're driving in summer heat or cooler winter conditions. When assembling or maintaining your RC car, proper fastener selection is fundamental to vehicle safety and performance, and these FMS-manufactured lock nuts deliver the quality and reliability demanded by serious RC car builders.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why should I use nylon flange lock nuts instead of standard nuts on my RC car? — Standard nuts can gradually loosen due to vibration from driving impacts, uneven terrain, and cornering forces. Nylon flange lock nuts feature an integrated nylon insert that creates friction, preventing this vibration-induced loosening and ensuring your RC car remains secure throughout driving sessions.
- Are these lock nuts suitable for beginners working on RC cars? — Yes, these are ideal for anyone building, assembling, or maintaining a 1:10 scale RC car. Beginners benefit from the added security that nylon lock nuts provide, as they reduce the likelihood of loose fasteners causing performance issues or component failure during learning phases.
- What applications use M4 fasteners on an RC car? — M4 fasteners are used across numerous mounting points on 1:10 scale RC cars, including suspension linkage points, body panel mounting, chassis assembly, shock mounts, and various structural fastening applications throughout your vehicle.
- Will these lock nuts work with my 1:10 RC car model? — These nuts are specifically designed for the FMS 1:10 F100 platform, though the M4 size makes them compatible with most standard 1/10 scale RC car platforms that use M4 threaded components in their suspension and chassis assemblies.
- How many times can I reuse nylon flange lock nuts? — Nylon flange lock nuts can typically be reused several times, though the nylon insert may gradually wear with repeated assembly and disassembly. If you notice a lock nut spinning freely without resistance, it's time to replace it with a fresh nut to maintain proper securing friction.
