titanium turnbuckles
 
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.

captainlip 16-01-2011 06:19 PM

AmiSMB 17-01-2011 07:57 AM

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

captainlip 19-03-2011 12:21 AM
