Where can we get these now that lunsford are out of business?

While it was nice that lunsford had a titanium variant, keep in mind the only benefit to theirs was simply a few ounces of weight savings (if that) compared to the stock metal rear turnbuckles. Strength wise, the stock rod is the same strength just very slightly heavier. Ultimately what I'm saying is, go ahead and pick up the EXB rear classic turnbuckles and you will still be taking full advantage of this upgrade modification. Also be sure to watch this quick tip that came out later regarding this MOD. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6qGtLt8pLWac9I.html The turnbuckle Rod - amzn.to/3XaeQ8I

Hey East Tactics. It's hard to underestimate how useful all of your videos are for newbies like myself. I own pre-owned Arrma Outcast 6S and Arrma Senton 550 Mega. The Outcast model is on the tech maintenance right now because I don't have enough knowledge of how to fix it on my own. With your help and guidance, people like me can start their maintenance and upgrades with no hassle.

Yea Lunsford was nice I have them on my og losi 8t RACE truggy. As for my question I'm trying to find hardware for the eyelets on the turn buckle that the screw go's in to fasten to the nuckle.

Awesome video man I want to be able to figure out how to do something similar with my big rock

IMO the bendy RPM arms are what cause extra stress on the turnbuckles and axle shafts. The V5 arms are super tough to eliminate that extra stress. I like RPM wing mounts because they bend, but I'm not so sure it's a good thing in the arms. Sweet turnbuckles! I ordered some!

Are you running the Hot Racings rear hubs as well? How do you like the steering block and the rear hubs? I am still running the stock composite ones but not sure why I would need to upgrade at all right now.

@EastTactics

3 жыл бұрын

I still run the stock hubs in the rear. I just haven't had any issues with them and agree no need to upgrade those just yet. they do come with a lot of slop however so I highly recommend watching this video to address that. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXhlktBsqsmnqM4.html As far as the front hot racing hubs go... they are amazing, Hands down a must upgrade from stock in my opinion. Don't have to worry about the balls popping out now. But I agree you might as well wait to upgrade them until you have issue.

Just broke a turnbuckle on my Outcast EXB and someone recommend these. Only problem I see, is that the composite rod end can still break. Which in my case, is what actually broke. Not the turnbuckle itself.

Follow the instructions on this mod idea, use the rear turnbuckle rod, and the inner rear beefy composite rod end (for the front inner). Now...Instead of using the classic or stock front outer turnbuckle end (like i did in the vid, which is threaded for 4mm and you have to force it over the 5mm rear rod). If you look in your extra parts bag, given to you by arrma when you purchase the truck, they actually provide a canted or slightly curved beefy rod end that is threaded for 5mm. Its not used anywhere in the stock load out... and I'm surprised I missed bringing it up in my video, but you can use it, and its threaded for 5mm. Just make sure that the distance from end to end (using the rear turnbuckle rod in the front, is the same length that your current (classic) turn buckle assembly is. On my Kraton, and what the video shows, I believe it's 135mm. this will provide the tanky rod ends AND the tank rod for the front. hope that all makes sense... let me know.

Since Lunsford is gone, do I get the exb rear aluminum for the front and just do what u did on the video right ?

⁠@@EastTacticsyeah I ended up doing it but the exb is just to big for the front it ended up trying to go through the plastic mid way lol

So with the rid ends covering the threads , are they still less prone to breaking , even if you still use the 4mm Lunsford rod in the front ?

@EastTactics

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I would say that the Lunsford design is better even if you use the 4 mm rod ends in the front. Because that common breakpoint on the stock version does happen on those threads, which technically are even less than 4 mm thickness. Since the Lunsford replace that brake point with an actual 4 mm piece of material. So your Lunsford 4 mm rod ends are going to be stronger by a slight amount.

@EastTactics

I don’t think so. For a basher you do want the rear section of front tire to be slightly (not super) toed in, and opposite on the back. An over exaggerated way to remember how you want your front and rear camber and toe to look from staring straight down top view of your vehicle is an hourglass⏳. At least that’s how I like to remember it. I’m not sure what you’re aiming for though, are you more of a basher or a speed runner? kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqmBrdymlKi2o7Q.html

Any updates on this? I like the idea but I don't really like how there is more plastic in this design. 1mm thicker Ti but then 5mm extra plastic bit on the end. How has it been holding up? Maybe we should source some +5mm Ti pieces for ultimate upgrade!

It's working great, the only thing that I would do differently if you were to do this tactic. Is instead of drilling out the hole in the rod end to accommodate for the 5 mm shaft. Don't bother drilling it out. Simply force the 5 mm shaft into the 4 mm hole. This retains a bit of strength in the plastic. But yeah it's been working great
