What the XV-01 low-mass lock nuts do

Included are five 4mm low mass lock nuts made for use with TAMIYA XV-01 scale models. The aluminium hardware is supplied in light blue and is listed to correspond with the XV-01 platform designation in the product title.

The nuts serve as lightweight retainers for wheel hubs and suspension linkage attachments, where minimising rotating and unsprung mass is beneficial. Their reduced mass can help refine wheel response and suspension reaction during tuning changes.

Fitting is simple: remove the original 4mm lock nuts from compatible XV-01 wheel or suspension points and install these parts, making sure the threads are clean and undamaged. Tighten to a secure setting without over-torquing, and check clearance and fit before running the vehicle.

Compatibility: TAMIYA XV-01 chassis.

Will swapping to these nuts affect wear or maintenance?

Swapping to aluminium low-mass nuts can change thread wear characteristics; ensure threads are clean and consider a light anti-seize if frequent changes are expected. Inspect periodically for any signs of thread damage.

Do these require any special tools to install?

No special tools are needed beyond the appropriately sized nut driver or socket for 4mm nuts. Start by hand to avoid cross-threading, then use the driver to secure to a safe torque level.
