Overview
The ARRMA Steel Turnbuckle 5x115mm is an essential replacement suspension component designed for the ARRMA Nero RC model and compatible platforms. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your high-performance RC car, or someone seeking quality spare parts for ongoing tuning and adjustment, this steel turnbuckle delivers the precision engineering you need. As a critical part of your RC model's suspension system, turnbuckles allow you to make quick and precise changes to suspension geometry, which directly impacts handling, stability and performance on the track or bash course.
Replacement suspension parts are vital for any serious RC hobbyist. Over time, standard issue components can wear, bend or require adjustment as you fine-tune your RC car's setup for different driving conditions. The ARRMA Steel Turnbuckle 5x115mm provides a direct replacement for your kit-supplied item, ensuring you maintain the exact same specifications and performance characteristics. This is particularly important for RC model enthusiasts who want consistency in their suspension tuning and setup changes.
Built from super-tough steel, this turnbuckle is engineered to withstand the demands of RC driving in all conditions. Whether you're bashers pushing your RC car to the limit on rough terrain, or competitors making micro-adjustments for track performance, a quality steel turnbuckle is an investment in reliability and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a turnbuckle and why do I need one for my RC car? — A turnbuckle is a suspension link component that connects your RC model's chassis to its suspension arms. By adjusting the length of the turnbuckle via its threaded design, you can change your car's suspension geometry, which affects ride height, camber angle, and overall handling characteristics. This is essential for fine-tuning your RC car's performance on different track surfaces and driving conditions.
- Will this turnbuckle fit my ARRMA Nero? — Yes, the ARRMA Steel Turnbuckle 5x115mm is a direct replacement for the suspension turnbuckle on the ARRMA Nero platform. It is manufactured to the exact same specifications as the original kit-supplied component, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility.
- What are the dimensions of this turnbuckle? — This turnbuckle has a 3mm diameter and measures 61mm in length. These dimensions ensure it fits precisely within your ARRMA Nero's suspension geometry as originally designed by the manufacturer.
- Why is steel better than plastic for turnbuckles? — Steel turnbuckles offer superior durability and resistance to bending compared to plastic alternatives. Since suspension components experience constant stress during RC car operation, steel provides the strength needed for reliable, long-lasting performance without deformation that could affect your car's handling and setup consistency.
- How often should I replace my turnbuckles? — Turnbuckles typically last a very long time if properly maintained. However, if you notice bending, visible damage, or difficulty making adjustments, replacement is recommended. Regular RC enthusiasts often keep spare turnbuckles on hand for quick component swaps when fine-tuning setups or performing maintenance.
- Can I use this turnbuckle on other ARRMA models? — While this is a genuine ARRMA spare part, compatibility depends on the specific model. Always verify the part number and specifications match your particular ARRMA RC model before purchasing replacement suspension components to ensure proper fitment.
