Trusted Fastening for RC Models

Arrowmax AM-13LN0030 M3 nylon lock nuts are designed with the hobbyist in mind, offering a secure hold where vibration is a concern. These small lock nuts are a practical choice for keeping components in place during rough running.

How the Nylon Keeps Things Tight

The nylon collar bites onto the bolt threads to create friction that reduces backing off under vibration. That makes them preferred for nitro and electric vehicles that see heavy duty use.

Practical Uses Around the Workshop

Use these M3 lock nuts on motor mounts, link rods, steering assemblies and other fittings that require reliable retention. They are compact spares that save time on trackside repairs.

Are these compatible with Tamiya and similar kits?

If the kit uses M3 threaded bolts then these lock nuts will fit. Check the bolt diameter on older kits as some use different sizes.

Should I use thread lock with nylon lock nuts?

Thread lock is usually not necessary with nylon insert nuts, but for long term installations or high heat areas a small amount of medium strength thread locker adds extra security.

How tight should I torque these nuts?

Tighten until the nylon engages and the joint feels solid; avoid over-tightening which can strip the nylon or deform the bolt. Use hand tools or a low-torque driver for best results.

Can I use these on metal-to-metal joints?

They work fine on metal-to-metal joints where an M3 fastener is specified, but ensure surfaces are clean and flats are aligned to prevent loosening from lateral movement.
