Technical Performance
The Team Associated Turnbuckles 3.5 x 35mm represent the engineering standard that Team Associated applies to all factory-specification hardware. The steel material composition provides superior rigidity and longevity compared to alternatives, resisting the micro-movements and stress that come from repeated adjustment and the vibration cycles experienced during typical RC car operation. The 3.5mm diameter and 35mm overall length dimensions are precisely calculated to fit the linkage points on compatible Team Associated vehicles, ensuring that you achieve the exact geometry adjustments you're aiming for without requiring any modification or adaptation. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK who take their setups seriously, whether preparing for competitive racing or casual weekend bashing, the ability to make precise adjustments and have confidence that those adjustments will remain stable is crucial. The steel construction also offers superior corrosion resistance compared to untreated metals, making these turnbuckles a sensible long-term investment for outdoor use and variable UK weather conditions. When combined with high-quality servo linkages, quality tyres, and a well-maintained suspension system, these turnbuckles contribute to the overall steering response, handling precision, and vehicle predictability that makes RC driving genuinely enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are turnbuckles used for in RC cars? — Turnbuckles are adjustable linkage components that allow you to precisely set the length of steering and suspension rods. By adjusting turnbuckle length, you can fine-tune your RC vehicle's steering response, suspension geometry, and ride height to match different track conditions, driving styles, or setup preferences. They're essential for anyone wanting to optimise their RC car's handling characteristics.
- Will these turnbuckles fit my Team Associated RC vehicle? — These genuine Team Associated AS92333 turnbuckles are factory-specification hardware designed for compatible Team Associated vehicle platforms that use the 3.5 x 35mm size specification. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm compatibility before ordering, or contact our team in Walsall for specific fitment advice.
- Why choose steel turnbuckles over plastic alternatives? — Steel turnbuckles offer superior durability, wear resistance, and dimensional stability compared to plastic alternatives. Steel won't flex or deform during adjustment, meaning your setup changes remain precise and stable. This is especially important for RC competitors and serious enthusiasts who need predictable, reliable handling characteristics.
- How often do turnbuckles need replacing? — With proper use and maintenance, quality steel turnbuckles can last for years. However, they may require replacement if they become bent, damaged, or if the threads become stripped. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare turnbuckles on hand to minimize downtime if damage occurs during a race or running session.
- Can I use these turnbuckles on different RC car platforms? — These are specifically designed as Team Associated factory parts for compatible Team Associated vehicles. Whilst other manufacturers may use similar 3.5 x 35mm sizing, we always recommend verifying compatibility before purchase to ensure correct fitment and performance.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, absolutely. The AS92333 designation confirms these are genuine factory-specification Team Associated parts, not third-party or clone products. Purchasing genuine OEM parts ensures you receive the exact engineering specifications and quality standards Team Associated designed your vehicle to achieve.
