Turnbuckle sets for B44.1
Have had my first run of my B44.1 at local track and while doing so managed to snick a corner and pinged off the front right steering turnbuckle. Fortunately no damage was done and I found the Turnbuckle, but it did make me think that had I lost it,I would a bit stuck. I can find the JConcepts replacement kit which is about £30 but I can also see various turnbuckles on internet many of which are M4 thread.
My question is - can I use any turnbuckles provided they are right length, OR are Associated ones a different thread? Anyone any experience of using non associated / non JConcepts?

the B44.1 is imperial for reference. I don't think you mean the turnbuckle and more the ball ends.
RPM do a replacement set RPM73372 (RRP £4.79) which are known as a good upgrade over the kit ball ends.

The bit that pinged off was 1 turnbuckle with obviously a ball socket on each end - I was looking to get a set of spares in case I do actually lose one

As long as the overall length of the turnbuckle is the same it doesn't matter whether its imperial or metric, 4mm dia is big for 1/10th we're usually 3mm or 1/8th, turnbuckle kits can be expensive but original parts from car splits do often come round on Ebay, think I paid around £10 for a set of 6 Blue FT Titanium ones back when I had my 44.1, and as I still have them built them into my Bmax2 (a metric car) as an upgrade on the kit steel ones. as for rod ends the RPM ones are a good upgrade a lot of people use these and also use the old losi white as long as its compatible with the ball dia your using again it doesn't matter.

Excellent. I am now fully equipped with turnbuckles as I have the JConcepts set as well as a spare set of standard B44.1 ones (thanks Clemo).
