The UDI M4 HEX FLANGED LOCK NUT provides a cost-effective way to maintain your RC truck without having to purchase a complete new model. This pack contains eight individual lock nuts, giving you multiple spares to keep your UD1610 series vehicle performing at peak efficiency. The flanged design of these nuts offers superior holding power compared to standard lock nuts, preventing vibration-induced loosening during intense driving conditions.
For RC car enthusiasts across the UK seeking reliable replacement parts for their electric RC trucks, the UDI M02-003 lock nuts represent excellent value and genuine compatibility. These fasteners are manufactured to OEM standards, ensuring they meet the exact specifications required by UDI RC vehicles. Whether you're replacing damaged fasteners, building a spare parts inventory, or undertaking a complete vehicle restoration, these lock nuts are an indispensable addition to your RC workshop.
Key Features
- Flanged Design — The flanged construction provides a wider bearing surface that distributes load more effectively than standard lock nuts, resulting in better grip and reduced chances of fastener loosening during high-vibration RC driving sessions.
- M4 Thread Size — Purpose-engineered for the M4 specification used throughout the UD1610PRO and UD1610S chassis, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing hardware without modification or adaptation required.
- Hex Head Configuration — The six-sided hex head design allows for quick and easy installation and removal using standard metric spanners or hex keys, making maintenance and repairs straightforward for hobbyists of all experience levels.
- Eight-Piece Pack — This generous quantity gives you multiple spares to replace worn fasteners, build a comprehensive parts kit, or have backups ready for race day emergencies and unexpected breakages during competitive events.
- OEM Compatibility — These are genuine replacement parts engineered to exact UDI specifications, ensuring they perform identically to the original fasteners and maintain the precision engineering of your UD1610 series RC truck.
- Vibration Resistance — The lock nut design incorporates features that resist loosening caused by the intense vibration generated during fast acceleration, hard cornering, and rough terrain bashing typical of RC car UK driving.
Technical Performance
The UDI RC M4 HEX FLANGED LOCK NUT represents quality fastening engineering specifically calibrated for high-performance electric RC trucks. The M4 thread specification is standard across the UD1610PRO and UD1610S models, these brushless-powered RC vehicles capable of impressive speeds and aggressive handling that demands reliable fastening solutions. The flanged lock nut design includes a wider washer-like flange beneath the hex head, which distributes clamping force across a larger surface area and provides superior resistance to vibration-induced loosening compared to conventional lock nuts. This is particularly important in RC vehicles where continuous acceleration, deceleration, and directional changes create constant micro-movements that can gradually work fasteners loose over time. The hex head allows for precise torque application during installation, preventing over-tightening that could strip threads or damage connected components. Each lock nut in this eight-piece pack is manufactured to consistent standards, ensuring uniform performance across all fastening points on your vehicle. Whether you're maintaining the suspension geometry, securing motor mounts, or fastening bodywork clips on your electric ready to run RC truck, these lock nuts provide the reliability necessary for sustained performance during extended driving sessions and competitive racing.
