Key Features

• M3 Thread Size (3mm) — These locknuts are engineered specifically for 3mm diameter fasteners, which is the standard thread size used throughout Team Associated's extensive RC car range including buggies, trucks, and competition vehicles. Using the correct thread size ensures proper fastening and prevents cross-threading or loose connections.
• Aluminium Construction — The locknuts are manufactured from lightweight aluminium alloy, which reduces the overall weight of your RC vehicle without compromising structural integrity or fastening strength. This is particularly important in racing applications where every gram of weight reduction contributes to improved acceleration, handling, and battery runtime.
• Factory Team Blue Finish — Each locknut features Team Associated's signature blue colour coating, providing both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance. The blue finish makes these genuine Factory Team components easily identifiable and gives your build a professional, branded appearance.
• Pack of 10 Pieces — This convenient bulk pack of 10 locknuts means you'll have spares on hand for maintenance, repairs, or building multiple vehicles. This quantity also represents better value compared to purchasing locknuts individually.
• Genuine OEM Component — As an official Team Associated Factory Team part, these locknuts are designed to the exact specifications required for optimal fit and function across the entire Associated RC vehicle lineup. Using genuine components ensures compatibility and maintains your warranty.
• Compact Design — The locknut mechanism is engineered to provide secure fastening in tight spaces where space is at a premium, making them ideal for RC vehicle builds where access to fasteners is limited.

Technical Performance

The AS25392 locknuts represent Team Associated's commitment to precision engineering and build quality. As M3 fasteners, these locknuts are designed to work with 3mm diameter bolts and studs, providing a standardised interface across the entire Team Associated RC car range. The aluminium construction delivers an optimal balance between weight reduction and mechanical strength, a critical consideration for any serious RC enthusiast building or maintaining an RC car in the UK. Team Associated's Factory Team components are engineered with the same quality standards and tolerances used in competition racing, ensuring that each locknut provides reliable, consistent performance. The blue anodised finish not only provides aesthetic appeal that distinguishes these as genuine Factory Team parts, but also offers additional corrosion resistance, protecting the fasteners from moisture, dirt, and the wear and tear of regular RC use. Whether you're building a high-performance 1/10 scale buggy, rock crawler, truggy, or any other Associated RC model, these locknuts integrate seamlessly with the factory specifications and design intent of your vehicle. The pack of 10 ensures you have adequate spares for multiple builds, maintenance cycles, or racing events where spare parts are essential.

• Why should I use genuine Team Associated locknuts instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated Factory Team components are engineered to the exact specifications designed for their vehicles, ensuring perfect fit, reliability, and performance.

• How many locknuts do I need and why does this pack come with 10? — The number of locknuts you need depends on your specific vehicle setup and which fasteners you're replacing. Most RC cars use multiple M3 fasteners throughout their design, from chassis mounting points to suspension components. The pack of 10 provides adequate quantity for a complete refresh on one vehicle, or spare parts for multiple builds and maintenance cycles. Having extras on hand is essential for any serious RC builder, as locknuts can wear or become damaged and may need replacement.

First, it provides genuine Team Associated identification, confirming these are authentic Factory Team parts. Second, the aluminium construction keeps weight to a minimum compared to steel alternatives, which is crucial for RC performance. Third, the anodised finish provides corrosion resistance, protecting the fasteners from moisture and environmental damage. This combination of lightweight construction and durable finish makes these locknuts ideal for the demanding environment of RC racing and bashing.
• Will these locknuts work on all Team Associated RC cars? — The M3 size makes these locknuts compatible with the vast majority of Team Associated vehicles, including their RC buggies, short course trucks, truggies, and touring cars.
