titanium turnbuckles
has anybody done the titanium turnbuckle and heavy duty rod end upgrades on www.rcnitro.com pushing the mt2s performance article i ask because i have just had the titanium parts 17/8 and 21/8 they are fine however the rod ends neon yellow #73397 from rpm products fit the the turnbuckles but are far to small to fit the ball studs,anyone got any answers thanks

RE: titanium turnbuckles
I have the titaniun turnbuckles and have fitted Losi extra long rod ends to them. I found that standard size ends dont leave much of the turnbuckle attatched. The Losi ones came with ball sockets included so there was no problem with fitting.

Just as an add on here. The Losi ends are ball socket only, ie they can pop off. I didn't much fancy trying to find a titanium turnbuckle in a field should it come loose. To avoid this I fitted the ball socket to the bulkhead and fitted standard fastrax ballends to the hubs. That way if the ball socket should pop off it would still be screwed to the car at the wheel. Hope that all made sense[&:]

RE: titanium turnbuckles
scouser... did the exact same thing after spending over an hour looking for the titanium turnbuckle that ejected itself after a barrel roll... they don't fall off anymore and I don't worry about them either....
