Key Features

• Flanged Design — The flanged head provides a larger bearing surface than standard nuts, which distributes clamping force more effectively and reduces the chance of fasteners pulling through softer materials like nylon and plastic components commonly found on RC vehicles.
• Nylon Locking Insert — The integrated nylon locking mechanism creates friction when the nut is threaded onto a bolt, preventing it from vibrating loose during high-impact RC driving and aggressive off-road bashing where traditional nuts would fail.
• Serrated Surface — The serrated profile on the nut grip the mounting surface with enhanced grip, providing additional resistance to loosening and ensuring maximum holding power under stress.
• 4mm Metric Size — These nuts are M4 (4 millimetre) fasteners, which is a standard size across Traxxas vehicles and many other RC brands, making them versatile replacements for your entire RC collection.
• Black Finish — The black anodised coating provides a professional appearance, corrosion resistance, and seamless integration with most modern RC vehicle builds regardless of body colour.
• Pack of 10 — Each pack contains 10 individual nuts, providing multiple spare fasteners so you'll always have replacements when needed during maintenance, repairs, or building projects.
• Genuine Traxxas Quality — Manufactured by Traxxas to their exact specifications, these nuts ensure compatibility and reliability across all compatible Traxxas models without compromise.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Nuts TRX8347 represent the pinnacle of locking fastener engineering for RC applications. These 4mm flanged nylon locking nuts are manufactured from hardened steel with a precision-moulded nylon insert that creates a mechanical lock when the nut is threaded onto the bolt shaft. The nylon material is engineered to create friction without damage to the underlying bolt threads, allowing the nut to be removed and reinstalled multiple times whilst maintaining its locking integrity. The flanged head design increases the contact surface area significantly compared to standard hex nuts, which is particularly important for RC applications where plastic and composite materials are common. The serrated underside of the flange provides mechanical grip, creating additional resistance to rotation and loosening. These nuts are designed to meet Traxxas' rigorous quality standards and perform reliably across the full range of Traxxas RC vehicles from 1/10-scale crawlers like the TRX-4 through to mini-scale bashers and high-performance on-road vehicles. The black finish is durable and aesthetically pleasing, complementing the modern look of contemporary RC builds. Whether you're running a Traxxas 4TEC 3.0 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a Mini Maxx BL-2S, Mini Rally VXL, Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4, TRX-4 crawler in any variant, or any other compatible Traxxas vehicle, these nuts will perform flawlessly under demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes nylon locking nuts better than standard hex nuts for RC vehicles? — Nylon locking nuts feature an integrated nylon insert that creates friction when the nut is threaded onto a bolt, preventing vibration-induced loosening. Standard nuts rely only on friction between the threads and can gradually loosen with repeated impacts and vibration typical of RC driving, especially off-road bashing and high-speed running. The nylon insert maintains its locking ability across multiple assembly and disassembly cycles, making these nuts superior for RC applications where fastener security is critical.
• Are these nuts compatible with my Traxxas RC car? — These 4mm flanged nylon locking nuts are compatible with numerous Traxxas models including the 4TEC 3.0 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (both black and silver versions), Mini Maxx BL-2S (all colour variants), Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 (all variants), Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4, TRX-4 models including the Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT, Chevrolet K5 Blazer, Chevy Blazer, Nissan Pathfinder SE-V6, Ford Bronco, TRX-4 Defender, TRX-4 Sport, and TRX-6 models. If you're unsure whether your specific model uses M4 fasteners, check your vehicle's instruction manual or contact our team of experienced RC enthusiasts.
• How many times can I remove and reinstall these locking nuts? — The nylon locking insert in quality Traxxas nuts can typically be removed and reinstalled many times before the locking ability diminishes. However, if you notice a nut no longer holds securely after repeated use, it's time to replace it with a fresh one from your spare pack.
• What is the difference between flanged and standard nuts? — Flanged nuts have a wider collar or flange under the nut head that provides a larger bearing surface. This distributes clamping force more evenly and prevents the nut from pulling through softer materials like plastic components. Standard hex nuts have a smaller contact area and are more prone to damaging or pulling through delicate RC materials. For RC vehicles with composite and plastic parts, flanged nuts are the superior choice.
• Why is the serrated surface important? — The serrated (ridged) underside of the flange bites into the material being clamped, creating mechanical grip that resists rotation. This additional resistance to loosening complements the nylon locking insert, providing dual security against fastener loosening under the extreme vibration and impacts experienced during RC driving.
• How should I store these spare nuts? — Keep your spare Traxxas nuts in a cool, dry location in your RC toolkit or parts box. The pack of 10 is compact and easy to store alongside other fasteners and spares. Having these nuts readily available means you're always prepared for maintenance or repairs.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whether you're new to the RC hobby or an experienced racer, spare nuts are essential. Beginners especially benefit from having quality replacement fasteners on hand whilst learning proper maintenance techniques. These nuts are used across the entire Traxxas product range from entry-level to competition vehicles.
