Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — Manufactured from stainless steel, this turnbuckle offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel alternatives, making it ideal for use in wet conditions, muddy environments, and coastal areas where salt spray could damage lesser materials. The stainless steel composition ensures longevity and maintains its structural integrity through countless rock crawling sessions.
- M6 x 157.3mm Specification — This precise metric sizing is engineered to match the SCX6 suspension geometry perfectly, ensuring that when you install this turnbuckle, your suspension maintains the correct ride height, camber, and overall alignment that the platform was designed for. Using the correct size is critical for predictable handling.
- Genuine Axial OEM Part — This is an official Axial replacement component, not an aftermarket imitation, which means it meets Axial's strict quality standards and is guaranteed to fit and function correctly with your SCX6 platform. Original manufacturer parts eliminate guesswork and compatibility concerns.
- Perfect 5 Star Customer Rating — With a perfect 5 out of 5 rating from verified customers, this part has proven itself in real-world use across thousands of RC vehicles, demonstrating reliability and meeting buyer expectations consistently. Customer reviews provide confidence in your purchase decision.
- Compatible with Multiple SCX6 Models — This turnbuckle works across the entire SCX6 family, including the 1/6 SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR and the 1/6 SCX6 Trail Honcho 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR, making it a versatile spare for collectors or teams running multiple platforms.
Technical Performance
Turnbuckles are precision suspension components that control the length of suspension links and determine suspension geometry settings. The M6 x 157.3mm specification indicates this is a metric-sized component measuring 157.3 millimetres in total length, with an M6 thread pitch for connection points. Stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, which is particularly important for RC rock crawlers that frequently encounter water, mud, and harsh terrain. Unlike standard steel turnbuckles that can rust and seize over time, stainless steel maintains its smooth operation and aesthetic appearance indefinitely. This component is engineered as a replacement part for the SCX6 platform, and its precise dimensions ensure that when installed, your suspension geometry remains true to Axial's engineering specifications. Whether you're fine-tuning suspension stiffness for rock crawling, adjusting ride height for specific terrain, or replacing a damaged component, this turnbuckle delivers the performance and reliability expected from genuine OEM Axial parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this turnbuckle compatible with my SCX6? — Yes, this M6 x 157.3mm stainless steel turnbuckle is designed specifically for the Axial SCX6 platform and is compatible with both the 1/6 SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR and the 1/6 SCX6 Trail Honcho 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR models available in the UK and worldwide.
- Why is stainless steel better than standard steel? — Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, meaning it won't rust or seize even after repeated exposure to water, mud, salt spray, and other harsh environmental conditions that are common in rock crawling. This translates to longer component life and more reliable performance over time.
- What does a turnbuckle do on an RC crawler? — A turnbuckle is a suspension link component that connects different parts of the suspension system and determines the overall length of that link. By adjusting or replacing turnbuckles, you can fine-tune suspension geometry, adjust ride height, and modify suspension stiffness for different terrain or driving conditions.
- Do I need multiple turnbuckles for my SCX6? — Most RC crawlers use multiple turnbuckles as part of their suspension system, so many enthusiasts keep several spares on hand for maintenance, tuning, or replacement. This single unit is ideal for replacing one worn component or beginning to build your spare parts collection.
- How do I know when a turnbuckle needs replacement? — Inspect your turnbuckles regularly for signs of bending, stripping, corrosion, or difficulty adjusting. If you notice changes in your vehicle's handling, suspension geometry issues, or visible damage, it's time to replace the affected component with a quality OEM part like this Axial turnbuckle.
