What you can try is to get a #2 size phillips screwdriver and stick it in the head of the arms and spin it a couple of times to hollow the end out a little to allow the turnbuckle to reach in just a bit further and catch the threads. It was a a pain for me too. My hands started cramping up when I did mine.

try using them as a bit and screw them in with a drill, little at a time though. you should be able to loosely tighten a drill onto the other threaded end and screw it in, no cramps.

Here is the situation I had about decided to get the TTR ST-1 because of the price at A-Main but now have narrowed it down to the ST Pro and the ST-RR so here is the question in all of your opinion do you think the ST-RR is 250$(400$ST - 650$ST-RR cheapest I can find on both) better. One other question are the supplied tires with ST raceable if so that will add to the savings, I will also get the like manufacturer's buggy in the upcoming months(8.5 or 777 wc) so if the OFNA is the choice I will save money twice.

this is an expensive hobby, i don't think kyosho is better than hobao/ofna, at least not than much $$$ better. is kyosho winning any races anymore? seems to me its losi, ae, hobao, jammin, in that order.

I would say it is expensive. I have probably spent close to 5-6k this year on this stuff!! Just bought a hyper st pro about a month and a half ago and now just ordered a St-RR today.

Thanks for those - got one end into suspension arm, but ball end still proving difficult, getting worried about making a mess of the thread now!
Could someone please take a picture of a steering knuckle end on, with the wheel off? Cant decide if ive put that togeher right either.
Thanks alot!
Does this look right for the end of the right suspension arm?
To me it doesnt look right where the bottom of the knuckle housing fits into the arm, making the knuckle lean back too much. What do you reckon?
Sorry for being a noob pain in the asre!
It looks right to me but here are two pics of my knuckle on the hyper so you can see, it is of the opposite side but the same, and also of the servo arm that I use.

vnmsgt.... those knuckles look nothing like mine, I have polished knuckes on my Hyper. I know yours is a pro but do you think those would fit my RTR? if so I may switch to them if I have any problems with mine. They look tougher. think they are the same?
They should bolt right up. I think mine are CNC billet aluminum and yours may be cast aluminum. If that is correct than mine are alot stronger than yours.
