Small in size, decisive in tuning
When working on the detailed preparation of a slot car, every gram and every tenth of a millimetre matters. The thin M2 nylon nut from Sloting Plus (reference SP151315) meets this requirement exactly: a minimal yet essential component for those who fine-tune the mechanics without compromising weight or mounting height.

Function and performance
Nylon offers two clear advantages over metal in this type of fastening: it eliminates the transmission of vibrations and reduces the risk of loosening delicate threads in plastic or lightweight parts. Its thin profile of 1.5 mm allows it to be used in very tight spaces, which is common in competition chassis where the margin between components is minimal.
The practically negligible weight —0.01 g per unit— makes it an ideal choice when the car's balance is a priority, as its presence does not appreciably alter the mass distribution.
Assembly and preparation
By tightening it with a 4 mm wrench, a controlled torque is achieved without the risk of stripping threads in soft materials. For optimal adjustment, it is advisable to clean the screw thread before assembly and ensure that the M2 thread is in good condition. The bag of 20 units comfortably covers a preparation session or allows for spare parts to be kept in the workshop drawer without the need for frequent orders.
Ideal for…
- Preparers and club drivers looking to reduce mass in non-critical points of the chassis.
- Assemblies in areas where height space is limited.
- Quick replacement during adjustment or competition sessions.
- Workshops and enthusiasts who maintain stock of M2 fasteners.
Frequently asked questions
Is it interchangeable with a standard M2 metal nut?
Yes, the M2 thread is compatible with any standard M2 screw. The difference lies in the material — nylon instead of steel or aluminium — and in the thin thickness of 1.5 mm, which is less than that of a conventional hexagonal M2 nut.
Why choose nylon instead of metal for these fastenings?
Nylon absorbs vibrations, does not damage threads in plastic parts or soft materials, and adds almost no weight. In applications where the mechanical strength of metal is not required, it is a smarter choice for tuning.
How many nuts are included in the bag?
Each bag contains 20 units of the thin M2 nylon nut SP151315.
What wrench do I need to tighten them?
A 4 mm wrench is required, a standard size in small format slot car preparation fasteners.
The Sloting Plus SP151315 is a thin M2 nylon nut designed for slot car preparation and tuning. At just 1.5 mm thick and 0.01 g per unit, it is ideal for lightweight chassis builds where mass distribution and tight clearances matter. Compatible with all standard M2 screws and tightened with a 4 mm wrench. Pack of 20 units — a reliable micro-fastener choice for competitive slot car mechanics and workshop stock.
