M2 nylon nut for 4mm wrench

Small in size, decisive in assembly: the M2 nylon nut from Sloting Plus

In the world of slot preparation, the smallest details make the difference between a loose assembly and a perfectly tight one. This M2 nylon nut from Sloting Plus (reference SP151314) is one of those components that is always advisable to have in the workshop drawer: lightweight, precise, and made of nylon to avoid adding unnecessary weight to the assembly.

Function and performance

Nylon offers several advantages over metal in certain preparation applications: it does not generate electrical interference, it does not corrode, and it absorbs micro-vibrations better that occur during racing. Its low weight —0.01 g per unit— means its impact on the total mass of the car is virtually negligible, which is particularly appreciated when working with ultra-light chassis or in weight-controlled categories.

The M2 thread pitch is one of the most common in precision fasteners for slot, and the hexagon for a 4 mm wrench allows for controlled tightening without the risk of stripping the thread with the appropriate tool.

Assembly and preparation

To work with these nuts comfortably and safely, we recommend using a fixed wrench or a 4 mm nut driver. Given their small size, a fine-tip pliers greatly facilitates the initial placement before tightening. Being made of nylon, it is generally unnecessary to apply thread lock in most cases, although in assemblies subjected to intense vibrations, a small amount may be useful.

Compatibility

Suitable for any standard pitch M2 screw. Compatible with the usual fasteners for slot preparation, models, and modelling in general. Always check the thread pitch of the screw you are pairing it with to ensure a correct fit.

Frequently asked questions

What are these nylon nuts used for in slot?

They are used to secure components to the chassis, mounts, motors, or other elements where it is important to avoid the weight and conductivity of metal, or where a slight vibration absorption capability is sought.

How many units does the bag contain?

The bag contains 20 M2 nylon nuts, sufficient for several preparations or to replenish stock in the workshop.

What wrench do I need to tighten them?

You need a 4 mm wrench, either fixed or in nut driver format. It is the standard size for the hexagon of this M2 nut.

Are they compatible with stainless steel screws?

Yes, as long as the screw is M2 with a standard pitch. Nylon is compatible with steel, stainless steel, or titanium screws without issue.

Can I reuse them after disassembly?

Generally yes, although nylon may wear out with repeated disassemblies faster than metal. If you notice that the nut no longer tightens firmly, it is advisable to replace it with a new one.
