Whether you're running a competitive RC car in the UK or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, these titanium turnbuckles offer the durability and precision adjustment needed for optimal performance. Built under the respected Associated FT banner, these components are engineered for those who demand reliability and fine-tuning capability from their RC setup.

Turnbuckles are essential suspension and linkage adjustment components found on modern RC vehicles, allowing drivers to fine-tune geometry and response characteristics with precision. The 3x38mm sizing makes these turnbuckles suitable for a range of Associated platforms, from the RC10 competition range through to the latest F6 and B74 series models. Whether you're refreshing worn hardware on an existing setup or strengthening a linkage system that takes heavy abuse, these titanium turnbuckles deliver the strength and adjustability serious RC car enthusiasts demand.

Available now from RC Model Shop, these genuine Associated components come as a pair, ready to drop into your RC vehicle for immediate performance gains. The silver finish provides excellent visibility during setup and maintenance, making it easy to identify and adjust these critical components in the field or at the workbench.

Key Features

• Titanium Construction — These turnbuckles are manufactured from titanium, a material prized in RC engineering for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, meaning you get maximum durability without adding unnecessary mass to your suspension and linkage systems.
• Precise 3x38mm Sizing — The M3x38mm (1.50 inch) dimension ensures compatibility with modern Associated RC vehicles whilst providing the right thread pitch for smooth, reliable adjustment without play or binding.
• Silver Finish — The polished silver finish not only looks professional and purposeful, but also makes these components instantly visible during setup, maintenance and adjustment sessions, helping you quickly identify which linkage you're working on.
• Sold as a Pair — You receive two complete turnbuckles in this package, allowing you to upgrade matched pairs on your RC car's suspension geometry for consistent, balanced performance.
• Associated FT Engineered — Built under the Associated FT banner, these components meet the exacting standards expected by RC10 platform drivers and competitive racers who rely on precision engineering for consistent lap times and reliable performance.
• Low-Weight Design — Titanium's lightweight properties mean these turnbuckles add minimal mass to your vehicle's unsprung weight, helping maintain responsive handling and quick directional changes on the track or trail.
• Direct Linkage Adjustment — By adjusting turnbuckle length, you can alter suspension angles and ride height with precision, enabling fine-tuning of camber, toe-in, and anti-roll bar geometry for dialled-in performance.

Technical Performance

The Associated FT Titanium Turnbuckles represent a significant step up from standard steel hardware commonly found on entry-level RC vehicles. Titanium's superior strength-to-weight ratio makes it the material of choice for serious RC competitors and dedicated hobbyists who refuse to compromise on reliability. At 3x38mm, these turnbuckles are engineered with the precise dimensions required for modern Associated platforms including the RC10B74, RC10B74.1, RC10B74.1D, RC10F6, RC10SC6.2, and RC10T6.2 models. The M3 thread pitch ensures smooth, predictable adjustment without the grinding or binding that can occur with lower-quality hardware. By upgrading to titanium turnbuckles, you're investing in components that will withstand the rigours of competitive racing, high-speed bashers, and serious track work without stripping, bending or failing. The silver finish resists oxidation better than bare metal, helping these components maintain their appearance and performance over extended periods of use. Whether you're setting up for a UK RC club competition, dialling in a new platform, or simply refreshing worn suspension hardware, these turnbuckles deliver the precision and durability expected from genuine Associated engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Associated RC cars are these turnbuckles compatible with? — These M3x38mm turnbuckles are designed to fit the RC10B74, RC10B74.1, RC10B74.1D, RC10F6, RC10SC6.2, and RC10T6.2. We always recommend checking your specific vehicle's manual and measuring your existing linkage before installation to ensure proper compatibility and correct adjustment.
• Why choose titanium over standard steel turnbuckles? — Titanium offers superior strength whilst weighing considerably less than steel, helping reduce unsprung weight and improve handling response. Titanium also resists corrosion better, meaning your turnbuckles will maintain their finish and performance over many seasons of use, whether you're racing competitively or bashing in all weathers across the UK.
• How do I adjust these turnbuckles correctly? — Turnbuckles adjust suspension geometry by changing linkage length. Screw the turnbuckle in to shorten the link (increasing geometry angles) or out to lengthen it (decreasing angles). Always adjust in small increments and test your vehicle's handling between changes. Refer to your Associated vehicle manual for recommended geometry specifications.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these components are excellent for beginners serious about learning proper RC setup and geometry adjustment. They're precision-engineered but straightforward to use, making them ideal for hobbyists progressing from basic maintenance to performance tuning of their RC car.
• What is the difference between titanium and standard turnbuckles? — Titanium turnbuckles offer significantly higher strength without weight penalty, superior corrosion resistance, and better durability under competitive racing conditions. Standard steel turnbuckles are heavier, more prone to rust, and more likely to bend or strip under extreme use.
• Can I use these as a performance upgrade on my existing Associated RC car? — Absolutely. If your current vehicle is equipped with lower-quality turnbuckles, upgrading to these Associated FT titanium units will improve precision, durability, and allow for more refined geometry adjustments, particularly beneficial if you're pushing harder speeds or taking your RC car to competitive events across the UK.
