Technical Performance
The Losi Ten-T Front and Rear Steering Turnbuckle Set represents precision engineering in steering geometry control. Turnbuckles function as adjustable linkage components that connect the steering servo to the front and rear wheels, controlling toe-in (the angle at which wheels point relative to the vehicle's centreline) and other critical suspension geometry parameters. In competitive RC racing and serious bashing applications, these components experience constant stress as they transmit steering inputs from your transmitter through to the wheels, making them subject to wear and occasional damage. The threaded adjustment mechanism allows you to dial in precise steering geometry tuning, which is essential for achieving optimal handling balance, reducing understeer or oversteer, and maximising traction in different track conditions. Whether you're running on asphalt, dirt, grass or mixed surfaces with your RC car UK setup, having fresh turnbuckles with undamaged threads and smooth operation ensures predictable steering response and consistent lap times. The complete six-piece set means you can refresh all steering components simultaneously, which is the preferred method among competitive racers who understand that mismatched component wear leads to inconsistent handling and unpredictable vehicle behaviour. Genuine Losi engineering ensures these turnbuckles are manufactured to precise tolerances, use hardened materials resistant to thread stripping, and are designed to withstand the constant micro-movements and vibration inherent to aggressive RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I replace the steering turnbuckles on my Losi Ten-T? — Turnbuckles should be replaced if you notice stripped threads that prevent proper adjustment, bent or damaged components that affect steering geometry, or if you're performing a complete suspension refresh. Many competitive racers replace turnbuckles preventatively every season to ensure consistent steering geometry and eliminate any risk of thread degradation affecting handling.
- Will these turnbuckles work with other Losi vehicles or just the Ten-T? — These turnbuckles are engineered specifically for the Losi Ten-T platform. While some Losi models may share common components, this set is designed and tested exclusively for Ten-T compatibility. Attempting to fit them to other models may result in fitment issues or poor handling geometry.
- How difficult is it to install these turnbuckles? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. The turnbuckles simply screw into the existing steering linkage points and connect to your servo horn and steering knuckles. If you're comfortable performing basic RC maintenance tasks, you'll find these simple to replace. A turnbuckle wrench or adjustable spanner is helpful for holding the components whilst adjusting threads.
- Do I need to adjust my steering geometry after installing new turnbuckles? — New turnbuckles should be installed at the same thread length as your previous components to maintain your existing steering geometry setup. However, this is an ideal opportunity to measure and verify your toe-in angles using a steering geometry measuring tool, which is recommended best practice for competitive RC drivers.
- What is the difference between front and rear steering turnbuckles on the Ten-T? — The Ten-T utilises steering turnbuckles in both front and rear suspension areas to control steering response, camber geometry and overall vehicle handling characteristics. Front turnbuckles primarily control steering input whilst rear turnbuckles manage rear-end steering geometry and stability. This complete set includes components configured for both applications.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these turnbuckles are appropriate for RC enthusiasts at all experience levels. They're simple components to understand and replace, making them an excellent introduction to suspension maintenance tasks. Beginners should simply ensure they install new turnbuckles at the same thread length as the originals to maintain established handling characteristics.
