Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a turnbuckle and why does it matter in my RC car? — A turnbuckle is a threaded linkage component that connects suspension arms and steering components to your RC vehicle's chassis. By adjusting the length of the turnbuckle, builders can precisely control suspension geometry, ride height, and steering response. The quality and material of your turnbuckles directly impacts your vehicle's handling characteristics, durability, and performance on track or trail.
• Why choose titanium over steel turnbuckles? — Titanium offers a significantly better strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional steel. This means you get exceptional durability and reliability whilst reducing unsprung mass in your suspension system. The weight saving may seem small for individual components, but across a complete suspension system, titanium upgrades contribute to noticeably improved handling, faster suspension response, and better overall vehicle performance.
• Will this turnbuckle fit my Team Associated RC vehicle? — The FT Turnbuckle 3.5 x 35mm is engineered for Team Associated platforms that support 3.5mm turnbuckle systems. Confirm your vehicle's specifications and ensure compatibility with 3.5mm linkage systems. The 35mm length is a specific dimension designed for certain suspension configurations, so verify this measurement is correct for your particular build before purchasing.
• Do I need any additional parts to use this turnbuckle? — Yes, you will require 3.5mm ballcups (Team Associated part #92308) to complete your linkage assembly. These ballcups are the connectors that allow the turnbuckle to articulate properly in your suspension and steering systems.
• What is the difference between a 3.5 x 35mm and other turnbuckle sizes? — The numbers refer to the thread diameter (3.5mm) and the length (35mm). Different suspension configurations and vehicle platforms require different lengths to achieve proper geometry and clearances. The 35mm length is designed for specific builds where this exact dimension provides the correct suspension kinematics and ride height.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Turnbuckles are relatively straightforward components to install and adjust, making them accessible to builders of all experience levels. However, understanding suspension geometry and how to properly adjust turnbuckles for optimal performance does require some RC knowledge. Beginners should research their specific vehicle's setup guides and consider consulting with experienced RC builders or your local RC Model Shop team for guidance on proper suspension adjustment.
• Can I use this turnbuckle as a direct replacement for damaged parts? — Yes, if you've damaged a turnbuckle of the same specification (3.5 x 35mm), this Factory Team component is an excellent direct replacement choice that may even improve your vehicle's performance compared to the original part.
• Why is Factory Team quality important? — Factory Team components are engineered and manufactured to the same exacting standards as parts used in professional competition racing. This means tighter tolerances, superior material quality, and proven reliability across countless hours of RC vehicle operation. When you choose Factory Team parts, you're choosing components trusted by professional drivers and serious enthusiasts worldwide.
