Need OIN turnbuckle help

Post by orangemazda »

Hey OIN-ers,

I'm in the process of building my OIN with Dynatech front and rear arms. I looked through several OIN threads and didn't see anyone really mention what type or length turnbuckles are being used.

My build thread: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=36069

I will also be using RPM ball cups but I haven't ordered those yet...

Thanks in advance for the help.

I used Lunsford titanium and RPM ball cups for my Dynotech OIN build. I'm pretty sure I used these lengths:

2 - 1 7/8
2 - 1 1/2
2 - 1 3/4

Used B4 titanium turnbuckles ground down to size with a dremel. The blue sparks were cool.

use old ones to build the car, measure them, then order the lengths you need.

I was thinking about using some 4-40 ready rod to get the proper lengths but figured I'd ask if anyone knew the exact lengths.

Thanks for the help guys!
