Key Features
- 8mm Thick Steel Construction — These turnbuckles are manufactured from robust 8mm thick steel material, which provides exceptional durability and crash resistance compared to lighter alternatives, ensuring your suspension adjustments remain rock-solid even during intense off-road sessions or track racing.
- Precision Right and Left-Hand Threads — The turnbuckles feature meticulously manufactured right and left-hand threads that allow for quick and easy installation, adjustment and removal, saving you valuable setup time at the track or in your workshop.
- 8mm Across-Flats Adjustment Fit — The 8mm across-flats specification means these turnbuckles are compatible with standard turnbuckle adjustment tools, giving you the leverage and control needed to make precise suspension geometry changes.
- Chrome Plated Finish — All turnbuckles are finished in high-quality chrome plating that resists corrosion and weathering while maintaining a professional, clean appearance that looks great on any display.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an official ARRMA part, these turnbuckles are engineered to the exact specifications of your vehicle, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your Kraton 8S EXB or other compatible ARRMA platforms.
- Pair Included — Each pack contains 2 turnbuckles, allowing you to replace both sides of your suspension or maintain a spare pair for your RC collection.
Technical Performance
These M8x105mm turnbuckles are engineered with the precision and durability that separates quality RC parts from budget alternatives. The 8mm steel construction provides significantly more rigidity than composite or aluminium options, making them ideal for high-energy off-road driving where suspension geometry needs to remain consistent through bumps, jumps and hard cornering. The M8 thread specification indicates these are designed for mid to large-scale RC vehicles, with the 105mm length providing appropriate adjustment range for suspension setup. The chrome plating serves a dual purpose: it protects against rust and corrosion from moisture and salt exposure (particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts driving in damp conditions), whilst also maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your ARRMA vehicle. The right and left-hand thread design is critical for turnbuckle function, as it allows the centre collar to tighten or loosen both ends simultaneously, making suspension length adjustment intuitive and repeatable. These are replacement spares designed to work with the ARA330744 Composite Ball Cup Set, which must be used in conjunction with these turnbuckles to create a complete suspension link assembly. Whether you're running on grass tracks, clay surfaces, gravel courses or asphalt, these turnbuckles will maintain their integrity and adjustment accuracy through countless driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts and will they fit my RC vehicle? — Yes, these are genuine ARRMA replacement components engineered specifically for ARRMA vehicles including the Kraton 8S EXB and other compatible models. They are precision manufactured to exact specifications ensuring perfect fit and performance.
- What makes steel turnbuckles better than composite alternatives? — Steel turnbuckles offer superior rigidity and durability compared to composite materials, meaning your suspension geometry stays consistent during hard driving and crashes. The 8mm thickness of these components provides exceptional strength whilst the chrome plating protects against corrosion and wear.
- Do I need the ball cup set as well? — Yes, these turnbuckles must be used with the ARA330744 Composite Ball Cup Set to create a complete suspension link assembly. The ball cups connect the turnbuckles to your suspension arms and chassis points.
- How often should I replace my turnbuckles? — Turnbuckles are wear items that should be inspected regularly for damage or bent threads. If you've crashed hard or notice your suspension feels loose, it's time to check or replace your turnbuckles. Keeping spare sets in your pit bag ensures you're never sidelined at the track.
- Can I adjust my suspension geometry with these turnbuckles? — Yes, that's a primary function of turnbuckles. By rotating the adjustment collar, you can lengthen or shorten the suspension links, allowing you to modify ride height, camber, toe-in and other critical setup parameters. The 8mm across-flats fit accepts standard adjustment tools.
- Are these turnbuckles waterproof or weather-resistant? — The chrome plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, protecting the steel from rust even when exposed to moisture and damp UK weather conditions. This makes them suitable for all-weather RC driving.
