10 X M2x4 Stud

M2x4 Tectime Studs: Precision Fasteners for Slot Preparation

In the world of slot racing, every detail of the assembly matters. A poorly sized stud can compromise the rigidity of a chassis, the proper seating of a bracket, or the fixation of any critical component. With Tectime's M2x4 studs (ref. TT087), you have specific metric fasteners in the most common size for slot preparation: metric 2, length 4 mm.

Function and Use in Assembly

Studs are fastening elements threaded at both ends, making them particularly useful when we need to secure parts at points where a conventional screw does not have a supporting head or where assembly is required from both sides. In slot preparation, they are commonly used for securing guides, brackets, motor mounts, and other components of the chassis and body.

The M2 format is the dominant standard in 1/32 scale and is present in almost all chassis from brands like NSR, Slot.it, Scaleauto, or Avant Slot. Having a stock of spare parts in the workshop drawer prevents annoying interruptions during a preparation session or during club competition.

Assembly and Preparation

To correctly install an M2 stud, it is advisable to use a nut wrench or an adjustable chuck, avoiding excessive tightening that could damage the threading in lightweight materials such as aluminium or the engineering plastics present in many slot chassis. If you are going to use them in areas subject to vibration, a small amount of low-strength thread lock will ensure they do not loosen during the race.

Ideal for…

• Club preparers and mechanics who need spare fasteners always on hand.
• Drivers who perform their own maintenance and want to ensure the integrity of the assembly.
• Slot preparation workshops working with 1/32 scale chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units are included in the pack?

The TT087 pack includes 10 M2x4 studs.

Which chassis or brands are these studs compatible with?

As they are standard M2 metric fasteners, they are compatible with any chassis or component that uses M2 threads. This size is common in chassis from NSR, Slot.it, Scaleauto, Avant Slot, and many other brands in the 1/32 scale. Always check the specification of your part before installing them.

Why use a stud instead of a conventional screw?

A stud is threaded at both ends and lacks a head. It is used when two pieces need to be joined with nuts from both sides, or when access for a screw head is limited. In slot preparation, they frequently appear in the fixation of brackets and motor mounts.

What tool do I need to install them?

An M2 size chuck or stud extractor is recommended. You can also use two nuts locked together on the stud to screw it in with a fixed wrench. Avoid applying too much force to prevent damaging the thread or the receiving part.

The Tectime TT087 is a pack of 10 M2x4 studs, an essential set of slot car hardware for workbench preparation and chassis assembly in 1/32 scale.
