Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Associated Factory Team 4mm Turnbuckle Wrench compatible with my RC car? — This wrench is specifically designed for RC vehicles that use 4mm turnbuckles. It is confirmed compatible with the Team Associated SC10 4x4 and is also suitable for other Associated models including the B6.2, Pro4 SC10, RB10, SR10, Pro2 SC10, B74.2D, B74.2, and Reflex 14R, as well as any other RC vehicles from other manufacturers that feature 4mm turnbuckles.
- What makes this the correct tool for my turnbuckle adjustments? — Using the correct size wrench is crucial because an incorrectly sized tool can strip the turnbuckle or the wrench itself, resulting in damage to your suspension components. The 4mm specification ensures a perfect fit, allowing you to adjust your turnbuckles safely without risk of slippage or damage.

- Is this tool suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is an optional accessory that makes suspension adjustments easier and safer. If you own an Associated vehicle with 4mm turnbuckles and you're learning how to tune your RC car, having the correct tool makes the process straightforward and prevents accidental damage to your components.
