Precision 12mm wheel nuts by Tamiya 53821 for better handling

The Tamiya 53821 12mm Aluminum Wheel Nut set is a compact, precision component intended to reduce weight at the wheel and sharpen vehicle feedback. This can lead to more consistent lines and improved mid-corner control.

Suitable applications

These nuts are a match for the NDF-01 chassis and suit drivers who focus on setup and consistency. By trimming rotating and unsprung weight, they support a more responsive suspension setup on both practice and race days.

Practical fitting advice

Fit each nut by threading in by hand first, then tighten to a snug, even feel. Check for any loosening after a few runs and clean threads to avoid premature wear.

Are these nuts compatible with standard road wheels?

They are made to the NDF-01 dimensions but will work with any wheels that accept 12mm nuts and share the same seating geometry. Always double check wheel fitment first.

Do aluminium nuts affect wheel balance?

Aluminium hardware is lighter, which can alter balance slightly. Balance wheels after fitting if you notice vibration or uneven tyre wear.

What checks should I do after fitting?

After the initial installation, run the model for a short session and then recheck tightness and thread condition. Regular inspections will prevent issues on race day.

Is any special care needed for aluminium nuts?

Keep them clean and dry, avoid cross-threading, and replace if you see deformation. A light coat of anti-seize on threads can help with longevity in wet environments.
