- Black Finish — The black colour matches the aesthetic of modern Team Associated RC vehicles and suspension assemblies, maintaining a consistent, professional appearance on your model.
- Genuine Associated Hardware — As official Team Associated replacement parts, these nuts meet the exact specifications and quality standards that the manufacturer designed into your RC vehicle, ensuring reliability and longevity.

Technical Performance
The Associated AS91477 M3 Nuts represent the type of precision hardware that separates genuine RC components from inferior alternatives. These nuts are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure they thread smoothly onto M3 bolts without stripping or binding. The black finish is applied to match the visual appearance of modern Team Associated suspension systems whilst also providing a degree of corrosion resistance compared to bare metal. In RC hobby applications, suspension hardware like shock mount nuts experiences repeated vibration and stress during normal driving, particularly on off-road RC buggies and stadium trucks. Using genuine replacement nuts ensures that the threads remain secure and that your shock absorbers stay firmly attached to the chassis, maintaining proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Poor quality or worn nuts can lead to loose suspension components, which negatively impact handling, increase wear on other parts, and pose a safety risk during driving sessions. The M3 size is a standard metric specification used across the Team Associated RC10B5 and RC10B5M platforms, and maintaining spare sets of these nuts is considered best practice by experienced RC enthusiasts in the UK hobby community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models do these M3 nuts fit? — The Associated AS91477 M3 Nuts are designed for Team Associated RC10B5 and Team Associated RC10B5M models, where they secure the upper shock mount screws. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchase.
- Why would I need replacement M3 nuts for my RC car? — During normal RC driving and maintenance, suspension nuts can become loose, stripped, or damaged through repeated vibration and assembly cycles. Having spare M3 nuts on hand means you can quickly replace worn hardware without interrupting your driving sessions.
- Are these nuts difficult to install? — No, M3 nuts are simple hardware components that require only a socket wrench or standard nut driver to install. If you can remove the old nut from your shock mount bolt, you can install a replacement in seconds.
- What is the difference between genuine Associated nuts and generic alternatives? — Genuine Associated replacement parts are manufactured to precise specifications and quality standards to match the engineering of your RC vehicle. They provide consistent thread quality, proper sizing, and durability. Generic or aftermarket nuts may have thread inconsistencies or materials that wear more quickly under the vibration and stress of RC driving.
- How many nuts should I keep as spares? — Since this pack contains six nuts and your vehicle likely requires one or two for the upper shock mount, you'll have several spares for routine maintenance or future repairs, making this pack excellent value.
