Tamiya 15493 - 2mm Red Aluminium Lock Nuts, 5 pcs

Locking mechanism and compatibility

The Tamiya 15493 lock nuts feature a nylon insert that clamps onto screw threads to limit movement under vibration. They are compatible with standard Mini 4WD screw sizes and small mount points.

Use in racing and practice

These nuts are useful for builders who want fewer mid-run failures. They help keep wheel mounts and critical small parts secure during heats and break-in runs.

Finish and tuning look

The red anodised finish provides a crisp accent to tuned Mini 4WD cars. They are lightweight and complement aluminium rollers and other upgraded hardware.

I have been purchasing Tamiya products with Rcjaz for a couple of months now, selection is awesome and service is quick and reliable, considering I leave half way around the world.
Hand tight plus a small quarter-turn with a driver is usually enough. Over tightening can damage the nylon insert or strip threads on small screws.
Aluminium lock nuts are similar in weight to standard alloy nuts and lighter than steel. The nylon insert adds minimal weight while improving retention.
You can reuse them a few times, but inspect the nylon insert. Once it loses elasticity the locking effect will decrease and replacement is recommended.
