Savage Turnbuckles replacement...

[skeeter24]

I am looking for some good replacement turnbuckles for my Savage 4.6. I have replaced them with the stock ones twice now only to stretch the ends out where there is play in them and the steering is sloppy again. I bought Integy ones but they dont fit correctly. When mounted they will not allow my lower arms to drop all the way down. What are you all using and is working for you all? Post pics as well if possible please....

Titanium, from GPM. I got these through rc_mall on eBay.

I swear I'm going to find where you live and pour dirt on that deprived rig of yours

Rolex do you buy allot of stuff off ebay? i was just wondering where the best deals are for hop-ups.

I've run the lunsford set and never had an issue with them. Ran them for quite a few years. I replaced the plastic ball cups about once a year to avoid having them wear and fall off.

Pricey, but probably the last set you will ever buy:

Did they fit like the original ones and allow the lower arms to come all the way down and go all the way up like they was suppose to with no issues?

the lunsford ends are super beefy.

the lunsford ends are super beefy.

Yes, they are much thicker and heavier than stock. I replaced mine plastic ends about once a year due to slop/wear. The ball studs and turnbuckles held up really good though.

 

[skeeter24]

Well I ordered a set of the Lundsford they should be here in a few days i will let ya'll know how I like them.

 

[skeeter24]

Well I got my Lundsford set in and went to install it all and I must have goofed up cause my ends are to short. So I just installed the new balls from the kit into my stock ends but man did it make a world of difference.... It drives so much better and will turn may faster. I could not be more happy with it. So may have the rest of the set for sale cheap soon.

Wow...$75 upgrade. Do these really make that much of a difference? Keep in mind that my rig is still pretty stock as far as suspension/steering goes. What are the pros to these other than less chance of breaking?

 

[abovelegit]

hey rolex which arms do you have on that rig?

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSAZ9&P=7 is this any good? I know not to trust integy most the time.

I think Rolex is used the FLM Ext. A-Arms set along with the Ext. TVPs.


Griemar, Lunsfords are pretty durable. They also look pretty cool.
