Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models are these turnbuckles compatible with? — These M5x89mm steel turnbuckles are designed for ARRMA 1/8 scale 6S vehicles, with confirmed compatibility including the 1/8 Kraton 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck, 1/8 Kraton 6S EXB 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck, and various other ARRMA 6S brushless models including Notorious, Outcast, and Talion variants. ARRMA lists these as standard parts for multiple 6S platforms, making them ideal replacement components for any UK RC car owner with these brushless trucks.
- Why would I need replacement turnbuckles for my ARRMA RC car? — Turnbuckles are wear items that experience constant stress through suspension geometry changes, aggressive driving, and impacts. Having spare turnbuckles allows you to replace worn components, adjust suspension geometry for different track conditions, or maintain spare suspension configurations for various driving scenarios. They're essential consumables for competitive RC car racing and regular weekend bashing.
- How do I adjust the suspension using these turnbuckles? — The M5 threaded design with alternating left-hand and right-hand threads allows you to twist the turnbuckle to shorten or lengthen the suspension links. The 5mm square section in the centre accepts an adjustment wrench, enabling you to make precise changes to ride height and suspension geometry without removing the turnbuckle from your vehicle. This makes trackside adjustments quick and convenient during RC racing events.
- Are these suitable as replacement parts for damaged turnbuckles? — Yes, these ARRMA genuine steel turnbuckles are specifically engineered as replacement parts for ARRMA 6S vehicles. If your original turnbuckles are damaged, bent, or worn through normal use, these high-grade steel alternatives provide proper fitment and performance restoration for your brushless RC truck or speed truck.
- What is the advantage of steel turnbuckles over aluminium alternatives? — While the source material is steel rather than alternative options, the high-grade steel construction provides durability and strength suitable for the demands of 6S brushless RC vehicles. Steel components deliver reliable performance through aggressive driving and competitive use without compromising suspension adjustability.
