Overview
The Losi Adjustable Turnbuckle Set for Micro-B/T is an essential tuning component designed specifically for owners of Losi's compact 1/24 and 1/28 scale RC vehicles. Whether you're running the Losi Micro-B 2WD Buggy or the Micro-T Stadium Truck, this professional-grade upgrade kit gives you the ability to fine-tune your suspension geometry and steering characteristics with precision. This is the kind of part that separates casual RC car UK hobbyists from serious enthusiasts who want to extract maximum performance from their machines.
Turnbuckles are fundamental to RC setup tuning, controlling critical alignment parameters like camber on the suspension and geometry on the steering system. By offering adjustable lengths, this Losi part allows you to make micro-adjustments to your vehicle's handling without needing to swap out entire link assemblies. It's perfect for track preparation, testing different setups for various conditions, or simply dialling in the handling characteristics that suit your driving style best. Whether you're getting into competitive racing or just want your ready to run RC buggy to handle better in your local park, this is the upgrade that delivers real results.
Manufactured by Losi, one of the most respected names in the RC hobby, this turnbuckle set represents quality engineering at an affordable price point. The kit includes everything you need to upgrade your linkage geometry, making it an excellent investment for anyone serious about getting the most from their Micro-B or Micro-T platform.
Key Features
- Threaded Turnbuckles with Rod Ends — The set includes turnbuckles equipped with threaded rod ends specifically designed for camber links and steering links, ensuring proper articulation and durability whilst allowing smooth adjustment of link lengths to fine-tune your vehicle's suspension geometry and steering response.
- Adjustable Lengths for Custom Setup — Each turnbuckle features adjustable length capability, allowing you to make precise micro-adjustments to suspension and steering alignment without requiring complete link replacements, giving you the flexibility to test different setups and find the sweet spot for your driving conditions and style.
- Steel Construction for Maximum Strength — Built from steel material, these turnbuckles deliver robust durability and strength to handle the demands of both track racing and recreational bashing, resisting bending or deformation even under aggressive driving or impact scenarios.
- Direct OEM Compatibility — Engineered specifically for Losi Micro-B and Micro-T platforms, these turnbuckles offer perfect fit and function without modification or adaptation, ensuring you get the exact performance characteristics Losi designed for these vehicles.
- Professional Tuning Tool — Rather than being a cosmetic upgrade, this is a serious performance tuning component used by RC racers and experienced drivers to optimise handling characteristics for competition or improved everyday driving experience.
Technical Performance
This adjustable turnbuckle set represents the kind of precision engineering that defines quality RC components. The steel construction ensures that the turnbuckles maintain their integrity under the stresses of acceleration, braking, cornering and impacts that are inherent to RC vehicle operation. Unlike plastic alternatives, steel turnbuckles resist bending and permanent deformation, maintaining their adjusted geometry consistently through hundreds of runs. The threaded rod end design allows for smooth, reliable articulation of the camber and steering links, critical for translating your setup changes into actual handling improvements. The adjustable length feature is what makes this set truly valuable—rather than being locked into a single geometry, you can systematically test how different suspension and steering angles affect your vehicle's cornering speed, mid-corner stability, and overall responsiveness. For owners of the Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy or the Losi 1/28 Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck, these tuneable components represent a gateway into the deeper satisfaction of RC car optimisation. Whether you're a weekend driver looking to improve handling or an RC enthusiast exploring competitive racing, being able to adjust your vehicle's geometry without purchasing entirely new link kits is both practical and economical.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are turnbuckles used for in RC vehicles? — Turnbuckles control the length of suspension and steering links, which directly affects your vehicle's camber angle (suspension geometry) and steering arm positioning. By adjusting turnbuckle length, you can fine-tune how your RC car's wheels contact the track, how it corners, and how responsive the steering feels. This makes them one of the most important tuning tools available to RC car UK enthusiasts.
- Is this set suitable for beginners? — Whilst turnbuckles are a beginner-friendly upgrade in terms of installation difficulty, they're primarily used for setup optimisation rather than basic operation. If you're brand new to RC, you might want to become comfortable driving your Micro-B or Micro-T first, then explore tuning with these turnbuckles once you're ready to improve performance. However, the kit itself is straightforward to install with basic tools.
- Will these turnbuckles fit my Micro-B or Micro-T? — Yes, these turnbuckles are engineered specifically for the Losi Micro-B 2WD Buggy and Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck platforms. They are compatible with both Silver and White colour variants of these models. The threaded rod ends are designed to match the geometry requirements of these compact vehicles perfectly.
- Why is steel construction important for turnbuckles? — Steel turnbuckles offer superior strength and rigidity compared to plastic or aluminium alternatives. Under the repeated stresses of acceleration, braking, and cornering, plastic can flex or deform, causing your carefully dialled-in geometry to shift. Steel maintains its adjusted length consistently throughout hundreds of driving sessions, ensuring your tuning changes remain effective and predictable.
- Can I use these for both buggy and truck models? — These adjustable turnbuckles are designed for both the Micro-B 2WD Buggy models and the Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck models. They work on the camber links (suspension) and steering links of both platforms, making them versatile if you happen to own both variants or are planning to build out your Losi Micro collection.
- What tools do I need to install these turnbuckles? — Installation requires only basic RC tools—typically a small hex key or Allen wrench to disconnect the old links and connect the new turnbuckles, plus a wrench or adjustable spanner to adjust the turnbuckle length itself. Most RC enthusiasts have these tools already in their workshop kit.
- How do I adjust the length of these turnbuckles? — Each turnbuckle features a threaded design that allows you to rotate it to increase or decrease the overall length. This is typically done with a turnbuckle wrench or small spanner. Small adjustments can significantly affect your vehicle's geometry, so many drivers prefer to make changes in small increments and test drive between adjustments.
