Well the manufacturer sells its stock in bulk to the retailer to sell to end users in small quantities. So-what if Schumacher don't have stock, thats probably because they sent them to some of the shops. Rather than going direct to Schumacher (who are a manufacturer/distributor - not a stockist) you should try the local hobby shops who are geared up to stock parts and deal with the small order/end users.... you've started at a good place, DMS, unlucky & unfortunate that you need something they don't have, but don't go switching cars, its a minor hicup - have patience and you'll love the SX when it is on the track. Try PBM racing next for whatever is left that you need.
In the short term, without the longer turnbuckle - just put a cheap Losi ballcup on the short turnbuckle.

Well done jackwood on finding those steel turnbuckles, i had searched for non ti ones and couldnt find any. However im confident the ti 59mm ones ive found will do the job until some schumacher get the proper ones back in stock.
I tried everywhere i could think of to get a hold of the turnbuckles i needed, PBM incidentally wouldnt answer the fone all morning and was engaged all afternoon. I understand what chrislong is saying about the end user should be sourcing parts from shops but there is very little chance of them holding stock of something the actual manufacturer has ran out of.
What is even more annoying is that had i bought the cheaper S1 cat it would of came with the long rear link setup as std, the phil booth one also does. The kit model that i bought which i would of thought the majority of racers will buy doesnt come with the longer link or the revised setup that the other cars do which seems silly to me.
But the car is all set up and finished now, it looks really nice and i hope anything i need in the future for the car is nice and easy to find...I might even put some pics up in the cat picture thread.
