Did a lot of people ask for Xray titanium turnbuckles for the XB8 in the parts request thread? That's the perfect metal,.. light, and can flex more without breaking.

The lunsford is the same thread pitch as the stock ones. So they thread right in with no problems.

venom you got a part #. can you buy them seperate?

Yeah here you go.

You need the 5x35mm (same size as the stock ones)

At first they seem kinda expencive at 8 bucks apiece. Just remember they are guaranteed for life.

I bought 3. That way when i bend/break one, i have one alreddy there.

Funny, it has nothing to do with the strength of the turnbuckle, but the shallowness of the arms the turnbuckle screws into it. I've seen quite a few Kyosho turnbuckles break at Boggy Creek at the RC Pro finals in Orlando...
