Overview
The FMS FCX10 11001 M4 Screw Nut (FMS-C3268) is an essential replacement spare part for owners of the FMS FCX10 1/10 scale Chevrolet K5 Blazer RC crawler. This genuine FMS component is specifically engineered to maintain the mechanical integrity and performance of your RC car UK setup. Whether you are a seasoned RC enthusiast running competition-grade crawlers or a weekend basher enjoying off-road adventures, having quality replacement fasteners on hand is crucial for keeping your model in peak operating condition. The M4 flanged locking nut design ensures secure assembly and prevents loosening during aggressive driving or challenging terrain navigation.
Manufactured by FMS Hobby, a recognised brand in the RC car hobby community, this M4 screw nut represents the precision engineering and attention to detail that goes into every component of their scale models. RC car enthusiasts know that proper maintenance and the availability of genuine replacement parts directly impact vehicle longevity and reliability. The FCX10 crawler platform demands robust fastening solutions, and this M4 locking nut delivers exactly that. With a pack containing four units, you will have multiple spares available for repairs, upgrades, or future maintenance needs without the frustration of searching for replacements mid-project.
If you operate an RC model in the UK or anywhere else, understanding the importance of quality spare parts cannot be overstated. A single failed fastener can lead to component misalignment, suspension issues, or worse, a crash that damages your investment. Stock these genuine FMS M4 nuts as part of your RC maintenance kit and maintain your FCX10 in showroom condition.
Key Features
- M4 Thread Size — The M4 specification ensures perfect compatibility with the FCX10 11001 Chevrolet K5 Blazer platform, guaranteeing a secure fit without the need for adapters or modifications to your RC car setup.
- Flanged Design — The flanged construction provides a wider bearing surface than standard nuts, distributing pressure more evenly and preventing the fastener from cutting into softer materials during assembly and use.
- Locking Nut Type — The locking mechanism resists vibration-induced loosening, a critical concern in RC vehicles where constant vibration from motors, suspension movement, and terrain contact can cause standard fasteners to work loose over time.
- Black Colour Finish — These nuts feature a professional black finish that matches the aesthetic of the FCX10 platform and resists corrosion from moisture and road salt exposure during outdoor RC adventures.
- Pack of Four Units — Receiving four nuts means you have backups for repairs, multiple project configurations, or building a comprehensive RC maintenance spare parts collection without needing to place repeat orders.
- Genuine FMS Component — As an authentic manufacturer part, you can trust that these nuts meet FMS quality standards and engineering specifications, ensuring compatibility and durability across your FCX10 crawler.
Technical Performance
The FMS FCX10 M4 Screw Nut represents precision engineering in miniature fastener design. The M4 thread specification provides the perfect balance between holding strength and ease of assembly without stripping, critical considerations when working with scale RC models where component materials range from aluminium to composite plastics. The flanged design significantly increases the surface area in contact with assembled components, which is particularly important in RC applications where vibration, shock loads from suspension compression, and constant directional changes place significant stress on fastening points. The locking nut mechanism, achieved through either nylon inserts or deformed threads common in quality fasteners, maintains secure assembly across hundreds of hours of operation. The black finish not only provides corrosion resistance but also makes these nuts aesthetically consistent with the FCX10 platform's sophisticated engineering appearance. Whether you are performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC crawler, rebuilding suspension components, or customising drivetrain configurations, these M4 nuts deliver the reliability and precision fit that separates quality RC models from budget alternatives.

- What makes a flanged locking nut different from a standard nut for RC cars? — The flanged design provides a wider bearing surface that prevents fasteners from sinking into softer materials, whilst the locking mechanism resists vibration-induced loosening, a common problem in RC vehicles that constantly experience shock and vibration from motors and uneven terrain.
- How many nuts do I get in this pack? — This pack contains four M4 flanged locking nuts, providing spare fasteners for repairs, multiple assembly configurations, or building a complete RC maintenance kit.
- Can I use these nuts on other FMS RC models? — Whilst these nuts are specifically engineered for the FCX10, any FMS RC model or other brand's RC crawler that uses M4 fastening points can utilise these quality locking nuts, provided the application is appropriate for their specifications.
- What is the difference between flanged and standard nuts? — Flanged nuts feature a wider base that distributes pressure across a larger surface area, preventing surface deformation and providing superior holding strength in applications with vibration and shock loads, making them ideal for RC models.
- Are these genuine FMS parts? — Yes, the FMS FCX10 M4 Screw Nut FMS-C3268 is a genuine manufacturer component sourced directly from FMS Hobby, ensuring quality, compatibility and reliability.
