Where are you getting your tie-rods?

Hi all.

I am working on getting a short-arm RC10 going again and I need tie-rods. Where are you getting yours? I can't seem to find anything that is not ridiculously over priced.

Thanks.

Usually Schumacher steel. They are 3mm but work fine.

Several options listed, you just need to know what length you want.

Frankensteined RC10T3 / Franky Jr RC10GT-e (x2) / A+ stamp / Toy Story RC / Graphite replica / B1.5 BFG 5LTi / Clonewald / Hyper Hornet

On a couple of builds I've used Secraft stainless steel tie rods.
They are cheap and have a pretty cool retro vibe.
Both 4-40 and m3

when you build your car, mock it up with either threaded rod or used turnbuckles, and the ball cups you intend to use. measure the length, then buy what you need.

Hi. Im new to the site. I'm returning my goldtub back to a buggie and am going to restore it to somewhat stock. I don't wanna use the original turnbuckles and no one lists a set for these old RC10s. Does anyone have old part numbers from companies...

well, your not stuck using threaded rod. you could measure for the length you need and get some lunsford tierods. or, you could get the dubro 4-40 turnbuckles and cut them to the desired length. the dubros are threaded close to the hex.

Last post

for the application of RC cars, the rods vs turnbuckles and changing length in use is a very unlikely scenario. And while you might be better served by being able to adjust the turnbuckle length an infinite length increment, using a tie rod limited...
