I haven't ordered any yet to confirm, but these look like they should be exact replacements, sold in lots of 100:

If you plan on actually running your cars I highly suggest using the aluminum low profile locknuts, as they seem to hold tighter and are less prone to strip

Mc Master Carr has them as well. Make sure you get the "nylon locking nuts". Not the Nylock nuts (metal with the nylon inserts), or the regular nylon nuts.

I went to Fastenall up the road from me. They found a supplier that only sells them in qtys of 1000 or more. Good thing about that was they got me a sample set of 30 for the cost of shipping.

I always disliked the look of the factory Losi nylon nuts,but now I love the look of 'em.
Regular steel nylocks just look plain wrong on a vintage Losi.

All I need is a Junior T and a XX-4 and I'll have one of every Losi vehicle up ;till the XXX series! :shock:
Oh,and a Street Weapon,I guess... :wink:

The McMaster-Carr nylon locknuts (Brandon's link above) are an exact match and that's what he has coming to him. Just has to wait for the postman to make a stop and he'll be in the nuts. :lol:
