Key Features
- Anti-Slip Design — The anti-slip mechanism prevents the nut from loosening during operation, which is critical for maintaining structural integrity and ensuring safe performance of your RC model. This feature eliminates the frustration of fasteners coming undone during runs and helps maintain consistent, reliable connections even under the constant vibration that RC vehicles experience.
- M2 Specification — As an M2 sized fastener, this nut is compatible with M2 metric bolts and screws, providing precise fitment for a wide range of RC applications and upgrades. The M2 size is one of the most commonly used fastener sizes in RC model building, making this an essential spare to have in your parts box.
- Black Finish — The black colour provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion protection, ensuring the nut resists rust and degradation even when exposed to outdoor conditions or water during typical RC car use. This finish maintains its appearance over time and complements modern RC builds.
- Genuine FMS Component — As an original FMS part, this nut meets the manufacturer's quality standards and is designed to work seamlessly with FMS RC models and other quality RC builds. Using genuine spare parts ensures compatibility and longevity.
- Affordable Spare — At just £1.75, this is an economical way to ensure you have backup fasteners for repairs, rebuilds, or upgrades without breaking your RC hobby budget. Having several on hand is practical and cost-effective.
Technical Performance
The FMS Anti-Slip M2 Screw Nut represents precision engineering in fastener design. The M2 specification indicates compatibility with 2mm metric threaded bolts and studs, making it suitable for use across a wide variety of RC applications including suspension components, body panel attachments, electronics mounts, and structural assemblies. The anti-slip feature utilises a specially designed thread-locking mechanism that prevents vibration-induced loosening, a common problem in RC vehicles where constant movement and impact create significant stress on fasteners. The black finish is applied through a durable coating process that resists corrosion, moisture, and UV degradation, ensuring long-term performance whether your RC car is used on-road or off-road. Quality control standards ensure each nut meets FMS specifications for thread pitch, diameter tolerance, and locking force, guaranteeing reliable performance in demanding RC applications. This is the type of component that RC enthusiasts across the UK depend on for maintaining their vehicles in peak condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does anti-slip mean on an M2 screw nut? — Anti-slip technology prevents the nut from loosening due to vibration and movement. In RC cars, constant vibration can cause standard nuts to gradually unwind, but an anti-slip nut has a locking mechanism that maintains a secure grip on the bolt, preventing this problem and ensuring connections remain tight throughout your run.
- Is this nut suitable for RC car suspension components? — Yes, M2 anti-slip nuts are commonly used in RC suspension assemblies, shock mounts, and other structural components where vibration resistance is important. Many RC enthusiasts use these nuts throughout their builds to prevent parts from loosening during aggressive driving.
- Will this work with my existing RC model? — If your RC model uses M2 metric fasteners, this nut is compatible. M2 is one of the standard sizes used across most RC cars, trucks, and buggies, making this a universal spare part suitable for many popular RC models from various manufacturers.
- Why do I need spare M2 nuts? — Fasteners can become stripped, damaged, or lost during normal RC use and maintenance. Having spare M2 anti-slip nuts ensures you can quickly perform repairs, rebuild components, or complete upgrades without waiting for additional orders. They're inexpensive insurance against downtime.
- How secure is the anti-slip locking mechanism? — FMS anti-slip nuts are engineered to withstand the vibration and stress typical of RC vehicle use. The locking mechanism provides reliable fastening for months or years of use, though nuts may eventually need replacement after extended use or multiple assembly cycles.
