Turnbuckle ends

[Rcflyer55]

I broke the ball link/ rod end on the end of the turnbuckle that goes from the spindle carrier/ hub to the bottom of the shock tower.

I can't find that rod end anywhere. All I see is the pack of 7 turnbuckles for $50.

Any suggestions would be great.

When it breaks ....
UPGRADE TIME!!

RH or LH thread?
M?? M6?
Alloy or Plastic?

Plenty of options I'm sure.

LH thread
Plastic
The turnbuckle is 7mm so I guess M7 can't find any specs omit and I waited over an hour on hold with horizon hobby then used the call back option but never heard from anyone.


This is the part I need

Same thing happened to me. Just ordered DGI metal turnbuckles. Should do the trick!

The stock turnbuckles are the way to go. The dgi pieces are garbage. If you buy the set of turnbuckles from horizon, you'll have all you need for a while cuz there's more than one of each piece. The metal ones are not very convenient when one breaks. Well, anything breaking isn't convenient but speaking from experience, the dgi turnbuckles are just not thick enough to hold up the 30lbs of vehicle. What needs to be manufactured is a metal version of the stock rod end. Are you listening Area RC!!???

I agree, 2 tanks of gas on new DGI turnbuckle set and bent 3 of the 8 turnbuckle ends on the front. Not impressed...for 100+ dollars.
