Key Features
- High-Grade Heavy-Duty Steel Construction — Machined from premium steel material, these turnbuckles offer exceptional strength and durability to withstand the demands of aggressive RC driving, whether you're racing at high speed or bashing through rough terrain.
- Durable Silver Surface Finish — The polished silver finish adds a distinctive ARRMA look to your vehicle whilst protecting the steel from corrosion and wear, maintaining both appearance and functionality over extended use.
- M4 Threads with Left and Right-Hand Design — Each turnbuckle features M4 threads at both ends, with one end featuring left-hand threads and the other right-hand threads, allowing you to adjust suspension geometry without removing the turnbuckle from your RC vehicle—a massive convenience feature that saves time during pit adjustments.
- 5mm Square Centre Section for Adjustment Wrench Fit — The precision-machined square section in the middle of the turnbuckle accepts standard adjustment wrenches, making it quick and easy to modify suspension settings and fine-tune your RC car's handling characteristics on the fly.

Technical Performance
These ARRMA Steel Turnbuckles represent genuine engineering excellence in RC suspension design. Manufactured from high-grade heavy-duty steel, they deliver the strength and precision required for serious RC driving. The M4 threading specification ensures perfect compatibility with ARRMA suspension linkages, whilst the dual-thread design (left-hand and right-hand) is a hallmark of professional-grade turnbuckle engineering. The 45mm length places them in the mid-range for most 1/8 scale RC buggies and trucks, making them suitable for a wide variety of ARRMA models. The 5mm square section in the turnbuckle body is precisely machined to accept standard adjustment tools, ensuring firm grip and zero slippage when making critical suspension adjustments. Build quality is exceptional throughout—these are not budget parts, but rather premium components engineered to endure repeated adjustment cycles and the high stresses generated by brushless motors and 6S LiPo battery packs in modern RC vehicles. The durable silver finish resists corrosion and maintains its appearance even after extended outdoor use, which is crucial for UK hobbyists dealing with varying weather conditions. Whether you're competing in organised races or simply enjoying weekend bashing sessions, these turnbuckles will reliably support your suspension geometry modifications and help you achieve optimal handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA vehicles are these steel turnbuckles compatible with? — These M4 x 45mm turnbuckles are specifically designed for ARRMA vehicles including the Typhon 6S V5 BLX and the 1/8 TLR Tuned TYPHON 6S 4WD BLX Buggy RTR. However, they may fit other ARRMA models using M4 suspension linkages—we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team if you're unsure about compatibility with your specific RC model.
- Why do I need separate left and right-hand threads on a turnbuckle? — The left and right-hand threaded design allows you to adjust the length of the turnbuckle in either direction by simply rotating it, without needing to remove it from your RC vehicle. This makes suspension geometry adjustments incredibly quick and convenient during tuning sessions or pit time at races.
- Can I use these turnbuckles to adjust my suspension geometry without technical knowledge? — Yes, turnbuckles are one of the most straightforward suspension adjustments available. By rotating the turnbuckle with an appropriate adjustment wrench, you can lengthen or shorten the suspension linkage to modify your RC buggy's ride height, camber, and other geometry settings. Many RC guides and YouTube tutorials are available to teach you the basics of suspension tuning.
- Why are these made from steel rather than aluminium or composite materials? — Steel turnbuckles offer superior strength and durability compared to lighter materials, making them ideal for high-performance RC vehicles running powerful brushless motors and high-capacity LiPo batteries. They resist bending and deformation even under extreme suspension loads, ensuring consistent handling characteristics during races and bashing sessions.
- Why should I buy two turnbuckles? — Most RC enthusiasts maintain spare turnbuckles for multiple reasons: you may need to replace worn turnbuckles on your existing vehicle, you might be building a second RC model, or you may want to keep extras on hand whilst you're actively experimenting with different suspension geometries and settings.
- Do these turnbuckles require any special tools to adjust? — A standard 5mm adjustment wrench or hex key will fit the square section in the centre of the turnbuckle, making adjustment straightforward. Most RC toolkits include appropriate wrenches, and specialist turnbuckle adjustment tools are also available from RC retailers.
