Overview
The UDI RC UCX24 M2.5 Hex Flanged Nylon Lock Nut (8pcs) UCX24-S013 is an essential replacement and upgrade part for RC enthusiasts in the UK who own or operate UDI RC scale models, particularly the UCX24 platform and compatible 1/24 scale RC vehicles. These precision-engineered fasteners are designed to secure critical components on your remote control car, ensuring reliability during both casual bashing sessions and competitive racing scenarios. Whether you're a dedicated RC car hobbyist, a weekend basher looking to keep your model in perfect condition, or someone discovering the intricate world of RC car maintenance and upgrades, these lock nuts represent the kind of quality spare parts that separate well-maintained machines from those prone to mechanical failure.
Lock nuts are fundamental to any RC car's construction and longevity. Unlike standard nuts that can vibrate loose during aggressive driving, flanged nylon lock nuts feature a specially designed nylon insert that creates friction when the bolt is threaded through, preventing unwanted loosening caused by vibration and impact. The M2.5 size and hex design make these nuts compatible with a wide range of fastening applications throughout your UCX24 model, from suspension geometry adjustments to body panel securing. This pack of eight nuts ensures you have plenty of spares for maintenance, repairs, or component upgrades, making it an indispensable addition to any RC modeller's parts box.
RC Model Shop stocks only genuine UDI RC components, carefully selected to match the exacting standards expected by UK RC car enthusiasts. Whether you're maintaining an existing collection or building a new machine from a kit, having quality fasteners on hand is the mark of a serious hobbyist who understands that reliability comes from attention to detail.
Key Features
- M2.5 Hex Size — The M2.5 metric specification with hex head design provides excellent compatibility with standard RC car tools and fastening points found throughout the UDI RC UCX24 platform, allowing you to maintain consistent fastening standards across your entire machine.
- Nylon Lock Insert — Each nut features an integrated nylon insert that creates positive friction when threaded onto a bolt, effectively preventing vibration-induced loosening that commonly occurs during high-speed running and aggressive driving in off-road conditions.
- Flanged Design — The flanged profile distributes load more evenly across mounting surfaces compared to standard nuts, reducing the likelihood of fasteners pulling through softer materials and increasing overall durability of secured components.
- Eight Piece Pack — This generous quantity ensures you have sufficient spares for multiple repairs, maintenance tasks, or component upgrades without needing to place repeat orders, keeping your RC hobby flowing without interruption.
- Genuine UDI RC Component — As an official UDI RC spare part, these nuts are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured to the quality standards you expect from authentic manufacturer components rather than cheap aftermarket alternatives.
Technical Performance
The M2.5 hex flanged nylon lock nut represents precision engineering at scale. The nylon insert is precisely engineered to grip the bolt thread without being so tight that installation becomes difficult or damage occurs to the fastener. This balance between security and practicality is what distinguishes genuine manufacturer parts from inferior alternatives. The flanged base increases the contact area against mounting surfaces, which is particularly important in plastic and composite components commonly found in 1/24 scale RC vehicles like the UCX24, where distributing pressure over a larger area prevents material deformation. The hex head design allows for proper tool engagement using standard RC car hex drivers or socket sets, ensuring precise installation without corner rounding or fastener damage. These nuts are manufactured from high-grade materials designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of RC driving, including repeated impact from suspension articulation, vibration from high-speed running, and environmental exposure typical of UK outdoor RC operation. The nylon insert maintains its locking characteristics across the temperature ranges experienced during extended driving sessions and storage in UK garages and sheds.
