titanium turnbuckles

[captainlip]

The option buckles are £22 a pair meaning it would cost £66 to go titanium tbh this is a joke if thats right! What other options are there out there? Does anyone else do buckles for thr dex410? Thanks

Havent really heard of people having issues with the stock turnbuckles. Are you just wanting to save weight?

I've just fitted Lunsford TitaniumTurnbuckles 1.75 inch ($15.99 for a pack of four, so two packs (two spare) plus post from Losi Warehouse is circa £26.

I also fitted the short and long Associated Titanium T5 ball studs and RPM long heavy duty ball cups.

Ran for the first time last night at Leyland - really pleased.

No its just the mental pricing of £22 for two. Bit of a piss take that tbh :)

I'd change the ball cups definately, the stock turnbuckles are staying. At £6.40 a per pair bargain. :thumbsup:

The titanium won't save that much weight. Remember titanium is only slightly stronger than steel but with the density of aluminium the cost far out weighs the advantages.

can i not squeeze 4mm ones on for that bit more strength?

what cups could i get to fit with 4mm? would the rpm fit?

[captainlip]

nobody know of a 4mm set?

[AmiSMB]

Great find there guys. I just refuse to get the original Durango ones on principle!

[captainlip]

anybody?

[captainlip]

take that as a no :lol:

[Whiskers]

I'm guessing that 4mm will be too large to fit into the ball cups

[captainlip]
