I know they only sell turnbuckles in a pair, but trust me lords your gonna want at least a pair if not more for spares. The metal used for the turnbuckles is crap, ive broken I think 4 of them since May so having spares is very important. Or you could upgrade the metal portion of the turnbuckles to titanium to help reduce the breakage.
 
turnbuckles in a pair?


ya but only with the arms on them. right?


turnbuckles to titanium?

cover the dogbones from dirt the colored ones..i can't see why they say these fit (HPI 86479) without the cup savors ... well needed out here in WI


for now going to hit the hardware store for something just so i can slap my rebuilt 30.5cc in and check it out...i spent 3 ***s grinding and porting engine/carb to my specs(stock exhaust used for demo runs) to not want to run it because of a turnbuckle...lol

bought it new 2 years ago ...the dude said he didn't know what was wrong with it...


after i took it apart he had the copper plates(i think) at the bottom and not at the set screws.....good part if that plate goes i have 2 that were made for bashing


1 3/4 turns gives me what about 8000..


i really don't want to be cutting holes for adjustment in my duneRunners clutch bell

ok went to the hardware store and bought some nice,


steel WorkS allthread-plated rod...


5/16 -18...measured and cut to match 42mm length..


had to payment driving wears out the inside of the back tires...


preheated upto 900f with my heat station for 10 mins ..let it cool (makes me feel more secure)

This is what I did, minus the heat treating. Works great and when you do hit something it bends a little so you can keep going.
