Not that I know of. Python used to have the titanium turnbuckles, but it looks like they're not stocking them anymore.

Try powerslide racing they keep Redcat parts to.

 

[James1996]

I was trying to get just the linkage

I have read some where of people making there own out of a long high tensil bolt and cutting the top off but I'm sorry I can't remember where I seen it. Did you call powerslide they might be able to sort something out.

 

[James1996]

no I havn't sorry what would they be able to sort out

They may have the parts you need but are not listed on the Web pages. And there maybe ones that are on another large-scale car that just may fit since alot of parts on all brands have some similarities.

 

[James1996]

just sent them email doing the same with ddm

 

[GTS 666]

Let us know how you go.

ddm said that they only have them with the plastic arms or by them selves but there are titanium and are alot more expensive. (links below)

still waiting for power slide racing to get back to me

power slide racing says the parts only come in the kits

The second link for the titanium turnbuckles are for the tierods. The turnbuckles for the upper suspension arms are 7mm. The tie rods are 6mm.

As far as using a long bolt. That would not work because one side of the turnbuckle is reverse thread.

I have been looking for the titanium as well and not had much luck.

Unsure I bought it used, will hpi parts fit?

 

[James1996]

the nitro shop came out a winner for letting me be able to purchase them separately you just have to email them that is what you want

Was this recently. They have been out of them for quite a while now.

yesterday waiting for invoice

I am in the process of converting mine over to 5/16x18 both right hand thread. I found nylon bolts that I could cut the heads off of, if those are to fragile I can spin in a piece of all thread. I will lose the capability for instant camber adjustment, but I can always remove 1 bolt and give it a few turns
