Technical Performance
The ARRMA Steel Turnbuckle 4x71mm represents the engineering standard you'd expect from ARRMA, a recognised leader in affordable yet high-performance RC cars UK customers trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are turnbuckles used for on an RC car? — Turnbuckles are suspension adjustment components that alter the length of suspension links and control rods. By adjusting turnbuckle length, you can change your vehicle's ride height, anti-roll bar preload, and overall suspension geometry, which directly affects handling, cornering grip, and stability during acceleration and braking.
- Are these turnbuckles compatible with other ARRMA models? — These are specifically designed for the ARRMA 4x4 BLX 4S. While they may fit other ARRMA vehicles with M4 threaded suspension components, we recommend checking your specific model's suspension geometry and parts diagram to ensure compatibility before installing them on other vehicles.
- How do I adjust these turnbuckles? — You'll need a 5mm turnbuckle wrench (not included), which fits the square section in the centre of the component. Insert the wrench and rotate the turnbuckle to lengthen or shorten it. Most RC drivers make small quarter-turn adjustments and test the vehicle's handling before making further changes.
- Why choose steel over aluminium turnbuckles? — Steel turnbuckles are significantly more durable and resistant to bending and damage than aluminium alternatives. If you bash hard, race competitively, or simply want the most reliable suspension components for your RC car, steel construction delivers superior longevity and maintains your suspension adjustments better under stress.
- Should I replace both turnbuckles at the same time? — Yes, if one turnbuckle is damaged or worn, it's good practice to replace both sides of the suspension link simultaneously to maintain consistent geometry and handling balance across your vehicle.
- How often should I inspect my turnbuckles? — Inspect your turnbuckles regularly, especially after hard driving or if you notice handling changes. Look for bent components, damage to the threads, or loosening at the rod ends. Replace them if you detect any wear or damage to maintain optimal suspension performance.
