Overview
The Traxxas Turnbuckles, Titanium 105mm are essential suspension tuning components designed for serious RC car enthusiasts across the UK who demand precision adjustability and premium build quality. These titanium turnbuckles represent a significant upgrade over standard steel alternatives, offering the perfect balance of strength, weight reduction, and corrosion resistance that competitive RC racers and weekend bashers alike depend upon. Whether you're fine-tuning your 1/10 scale RC buggy, monster truck, or truggy for maximum performance on the track or in rough terrain, these turnbuckles provide the adjustability you need to dial in your suspension geometry with confidence.
Suspension geometry is critical to RC car performance, and turnbuckles are the components that allow you to adjust your suspension links to achieve the perfect ride height, camber, and anti-roll bar preload. The Traxxas TRX2339X turnbuckles come in a convenient 105mm length and include a precision-engineered billet aluminium wrench specifically designed for easy adjustment without damaging the components. This is the kind of attention to detail that separates Traxxas from the competition, and why they remain the go-to brand for thousands of RC car enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond.
Built from titanium rather than steel, these turnbuckles are significantly lighter whilst maintaining exceptional strength and rigidity. Titanium is renowned for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and natural corrosion resistance, making it the material of choice for high-performance RC components. The included billet aluminium wrench ensures you can make adjustments quickly and safely without risk of stripping threads or damaging the delicate tuning mechanism, making this upgrade a smart investment for anyone serious about maximising their RC car's potential.
Key Features
- Titanium Construction — These turnbuckles are manufactured from titanium rather than conventional steel, providing a dramatically lighter weight whilst maintaining superior strength and rigidity. Titanium's inherent corrosion resistance means these components will maintain their performance and appearance even in wet or challenging conditions, making them ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who race in all weather conditions.
- 105mm Length — The 105mm size is a proven dimension that works with numerous Traxxas RC models and compatible vehicles, providing the right amount of adjustability range for fine-tuning suspension geometry without compromising structural integrity or creating binding in the suspension linkage.
- Billet Aluminium Wrench Included — Rather than fumbling with generic tools or improvised methods, Traxxas includes a precision-engineered billet aluminium wrench specifically designed for these turnbuckles. This dedicated tool ensures clean, damage-free adjustments and demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to providing complete solutions rather than components alone.
- Two-Piece Set — This product contains two turnbuckles, allowing you to upgrade both sides of your suspension or maintain a spare set for convenient swaps between tuning configurations. Having pairs is essential when you want consistent handling and balance across your RC vehicle.
- Precision Thread Engineering — The turnbuckles feature precisely machined threads that engage smoothly and maintain adjustment without creeping or unwanted movement, ensuring your suspension geometry remains locked in during intense racing or bashing sessions.
- Suspension Tuning Capability — These turnbuckles allow infinite adjustment within their range, enabling you to optimise ride height, camber angle, and anti-roll bar preload to match track conditions, driving style, and vehicle weight distribution for maximum performance.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Turnbuckles represent a significant engineering achievement in RC suspension tuning. Manufactured from titanium, these components deliver the critical strength required for demanding RC applications whilst reducing unsprung weight compared to traditional steel alternatives. The 105mm dimension has been proven across multiple Traxxas platforms and is compatible with numerous 1/10 scale RC vehicles, including buggies, monster trucks, truggies, and short course trucks. The precision-machined threads are engineered to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent adjustment without thread stripping or binding. The included billet aluminium wrench is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade material, providing a tool that will outlast generic adjustable wrenches and prevent costly damage to the delicate turnbuckle adjustment mechanism. For UK RC racers who compete at a high level, these turnbuckles are a proven solution trusted by competitors nationwide. The titanium construction provides natural advantages in corrosion resistance, making them particularly suitable for the unpredictable British climate where moisture and salt air can quickly degrade inferior components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Traxxas turnbuckles compatible with? — The 105mm length makes these turnbuckles suitable for numerous Traxxas RC models across various scales and types, including 1/10 scale buggies, monster trucks, truggies, and short course trucks. Check your vehicle's manual or contact our team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model, as suspension geometry varies across different platforms.
- Why choose titanium turnbuckles over standard steel? — Titanium offers several advantages over traditional steel for RC suspension components. First, titanium is significantly lighter, reducing unsprung weight and improving suspension responsiveness. Second, titanium is inherently corrosion-resistant, meaning these components won't rust or degrade even if exposed to moisture, salt air, or wet track conditions common throughout the UK. Third, titanium maintains superior strength at the reduced weight, ensuring durability during hard landings and aggressive cornering.
- Is a special wrench required for these turnbuckles? — The Traxxas TRX2339X set includes a precision-engineered billet aluminium wrench specifically designed for these turnbuckles. This dedicated tool is far superior to generic adjustable wrenches, as it provides a perfect fit that prevents damage to the turnbuckle body during adjustment. Using the correct wrench ensures you can make precise suspension tuning changes without risk of stripping or damaging the components.
- How do I adjust my RC car's suspension with these turnbuckles? — Turnbuckles allow you to adjust the length of suspension links, which directly controls ride height, camber angle, and anti-roll bar preload. By rotating the turnbuckle body using the included wrench, you lengthen or shorten the link to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics. Most adjustments involve making small incremental changes and testing the vehicle to evaluate the effect on handling. Our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance on suspension tuning techniques and best practices for your specific vehicle.
- Can I use these on any RC car brand? — While Traxxas components are primarily designed for Traxxas vehicles, the 105mm dimension and threaded rod design may be compatible with other brands that use similar suspension geometry. However, we recommend verifying compatibility before purchase by checking your vehicle's manual or consulting with our knowledgeable team. Using non-compatible components could result in improper geometry or handling issues.
- What is the advantage of having two turnbuckles in one set? — Having a pair allows you to upgrade both suspension links simultaneously, ensuring consistent geometry across your vehicle. Many RC racers also appreciate having spares on hand for quick configuration changes between different track layouts or to replace components if damage occurs during intense racing or bashing.
