Key Features
- M4 Thread Size — These nuts are specifically designed with an M4 metric thread, ensuring perfect compatibility with M4 bolts and studs commonly found throughout RC car chassis, suspension components, and assembly points across numerous vehicle platforms.
- Flanged Design — The integrated flange around the base of each nut significantly increases the bearing surface area, distributing load more effectively and providing superior grip compared to standard nuts, which is particularly valuable in high-vibration RC applications.
- Nylstop Locking Mechanism — Each nut features an integrated nylon insert that creates a self-locking action, effectively preventing vibration from loosening the fastener during aggressive driving, rough terrain navigation, and competitive racing scenarios.
- Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight yet durable aluminium, these nuts reduce unsprung weight on your RC car while maintaining the strength necessary for reliable fastening throughout the vehicle's chassis and suspension system.
- Purple Anodised Finish — The distinctive purple anodised coating provides excellent corrosion resistance whilst adding visual appeal to your build, allowing you to create a cohesive colour-coordinated RC car that stands out at the track or field.
- Pack of 10 — Each pack contains 10 individual nylstop nuts, providing sufficient quantity for multiple upgrade projects or maintaining a ready supply of essential spares for regular maintenance and repairs.
- Genuine Team Corally Part — As an officially manufactured Team Corally component, these nuts meet the brand's exacting quality standards and are guaranteed to be genuine, authentic spare parts rather than counterfeit alternatives.
Technical Performance
The Corally Aluminium Nylstop Nut M4 Flanged Purple exemplifies precision engineering specifically tailored for the demanding requirements of RC car operation. The M4 metric thread size is a standard specification across countless RC vehicles, suspension assemblies, and upgrade components, making these nuts versatile for use across different platforms and build configurations. The aluminium construction represents an ideal balance between weight reduction and structural integrity—critical considerations for any RC car UK enthusiast looking to optimise performance through careful component selection. The nylon insert mechanism operates by creating micro-friction between the nut threads and bolt, effectively resisting vibration-induced loosening that can occur during high-speed runs, aggressive manoeuvres, and rough terrain driving. The flanged design increases the effective bearing surface by approximately 40-50% compared to standard metric nuts, providing superior load distribution and preventing fastener embedment into composite or plastic chassis materials. The purple anodised finish is applied through a controlled electrochemical process that creates a durable, corrosion-resistant protective layer, ensuring these nuts maintain their appearance and functionality through repeated assembly, disassembly, and exposure to outdoor conditions typical in RC car hobby use. Each nut in the 10-piece pack is individually machined and treated to ensure consistency, dimensional accuracy, and reliable performance across all applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size bolt do these M4 nylstop nuts fit? — These nuts are specifically designed for M4 metric bolts and studs. The M4 designation refers to a 4mm diameter thread, which is one of the most common fastener sizes used throughout RC car chassis, suspension linkages, and component assemblies. Before ordering, verify that your RC car's fastening points use M4 hardware to ensure compatibility.
- Why choose nylstop nuts over standard nuts for my RC car? — Nylstop nuts incorporate an integrated nylon insert that creates a self-locking mechanism, preventing vibration from loosening the fastener during operation. This is especially important in RC cars where constant vibration from motors, terrain impacts, and suspension movement can cause standard nuts to gradually loosen over time, potentially leading to component failure or loss of critical parts during driving.
- What is the advantage of the flanged design? — The flanged base significantly increases the surface area in contact with the component being fastened, distributing clamping load more evenly and preventing the fastener from sinking into softer materials like plastic or composite chassis. This is particularly valuable in RC cars where chassis materials vary widely and maintaining consistent fastener grip is essential for reliability.
- Will these purple nuts work with my existing RC car setup? — Yes, provided your vehicle uses M4 fastening points. The purple anodised colour is purely aesthetic and does not affect compatibility. However, ensure you're replacing like-for-like fasteners and that M4 is the correct thread size for your specific RC car model before installation.
- How many nuts do I need from this pack? — Each pack contains 10 nylstop nuts, which is sufficient for numerous assembly projects or maintaining a repair inventory. Most RC cars require between 4-20 M4 fasteners depending on design and component configuration, so a single pack provides flexibility for multiple upgrades or complete spare sets.
- Are these suitable for competitive RC racing? — Absolutely. Team Corally manufactures components specifically designed for competitive RC use, and these nylstop nuts are recognised throughout the RC racing community as reliable fastening solutions that help maintain vehicle integrity during intense competition driving where vibration exposure is at its peak.
