Overview
The Team Associated FT Titanium Turnbuckle Set 3.5mm (AS92360) represents a significant upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts running Team Associated buggies and trucks. First introduced with the prestigious RC10B74.2 platform, these Factory Team titanium turnbuckles have become the go-to choice for builders seeking to reduce weight without compromising durability. Whether you are upgrading a stock RC10B6.4, fine-tuning a competition build, or optimising your RC buggy for maximum performance, this turnbuckle set delivers the lightweight construction and proven reliability that Team Associated is recognised for across the UK RC community.
Turnbuckles are critical suspension components that control ride height, chassis attitude, and overall handling characteristics of your RC car. The 3.5mm diameter specification offers the perfect balance between rigidity and weight savings, making this set ideal for both weekend bashers and serious competitors who demand precision engineering. The titanium construction provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, reducing the rotational mass and unsprung weight of your suspension system whilst maintaining the durability needed for rough terrain, high-speed cornering, and competitive racing. RC car enthusiasts across the UK have come to trust Team Associated spares and upgrades for their consistency, compatibility, and performance benefits.
This Factory Team product is an official Team Associated upgrade that has been proven on the track and in real-world RC car applications. The 3.5mm titanium turnbuckles represent a genuine performance enhancement rather than a purely cosmetic upgrade, directly contributing to improved handling, faster weight transfer, and more responsive steering feedback. If you are serious about getting the maximum performance from your RC buggy or truck setup, this turnbuckle set is an essential addition to your spares collection.
Key Features
- 3.5mm Titanium Construction — These turnbuckles are manufactured from premium titanium rather than standard steel or aluminium, delivering superior strength while weighing considerably less than conventional alternatives. The weight reduction directly improves your RC vehicle's acceleration, braking response, and overall handling characteristics by reducing unsprung mass on the suspension.
- Factory Team Quality and Engineering — As an official Team Associated Factory Team product, these turnbuckles have been engineered and tested to the exacting standards required for competitive racing. Factory Team components are trusted by professional RC drivers and serious hobbyists who cannot tolerate component failure or performance variance.
- Proven Design First Introduced with RC10B74.2 — This turnbuckle specification was developed and validated on the highly regarded RC10B74.2 platform, one of the most successful Team Associated buggies in recent years. The proven track record across multiple vehicle platforms gives buyers confidence in reliability and performance.
- Lightweight Yet Durable — The titanium material selection provides the ideal combination of minimal weight and maximum durability, making these turnbuckles suitable for aggressive driving conditions, competitive racing, and high-performance applications whilst remaining suitable for recreational use and weekend bashing.
- Enhanced Suspension Performance — By reducing the weight of suspension components, these turnbuckles improve the responsiveness of your suspension system, allowing it to react more quickly to track features and driver inputs. This translates to faster lap times, better handling precision, and improved overall vehicle control in RC buggy and truck applications.
- Official Team Associated Component — As an authorised Factory Team product (part number AS92360), this set maintains full compatibility with Team Associated vehicle platforms and integrates seamlessly with genuine Team Associated components and accessories.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated FT Titanium Turnbuckle Set represents a sophisticated engineering solution to the challenge of reducing unsprung weight in RC suspension systems. Titanium is recognised throughout the RC hobby as the material of choice for performance-critical components where weight matters significantly. The 3.5mm diameter specification has been carefully calculated to provide sufficient thread engagement whilst maintaining the lightweight properties that make titanium upgrades worthwhile. The material's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio means these turnbuckles can withstand the extreme loads and impacts experienced during high-speed RC driving without the weight penalty of steel alternatives. The consistent thread quality ensures reliable adjustment and maintains precise ride height settings during competition and recreational use. These turnbuckles have proven their capability across the RC10B6.4, RC10B6.4D, RC10B7, and RC10B7D platforms, representing comprehensive compatibility across multiple Team Associated vehicle generations. The engineering approach prioritises functionality over unnecessary weight savings, ensuring that the titanium construction translates into measurable performance improvements rather than diminished durability. For serious RC car builders in the UK who understand the importance of component quality and performance optimisation, these turnbuckles represent the kind of precision upgrade that separates competitive builds from standard setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are compatible with the Team Associated FT 3.5mm Titanium Turnbuckles? — This turnbuckle set is compatible with the RC10B6.4, RC10B6.4D, RC10B7, and RC10B7D platforms. Before purchasing, confirm that your specific Team Associated vehicle is listed in the compatibility section, as different vehicle generations may use different turnbuckle specifications. If you are uncertain about compatibility with your particular RC buggy or truck, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance.
- Do I need any additional parts to use these turnbuckles? — Yes, you will need the AS92308 ballcups for 3.5mm turnbuckles to complete the installation. These ballcups are the connection point between the turnbuckles and your suspension system, and they must be compatible with the 3.5mm turnbuckle diameter. This is an essential component that cannot be omitted.
- Why would I choose titanium turnbuckles over standard steel alternatives? — Titanium construction provides significant weight reduction compared to steel turnbuckles whilst maintaining or exceeding durability. The reduced weight decreases unsprung mass, which improves suspension responsiveness, acceleration, braking, and handling characteristics. For competitive RC racing and performance-focused builds, this weight saving translates into measurably faster lap times and improved overall vehicle control. Titanium is the preferred material choice among serious RC competitors across the UK.
- Are these turnbuckles suitable for beginners? — These turnbuckles are an upgrade component best suited to builders with experience in RC vehicle modification and suspension tuning. While installation is relatively straightforward for users familiar with RC car maintenance, the real benefits of this upgrade are realised by experienced drivers who understand suspension geometry and can optimise ride height and chassis attitude for their specific driving style and track conditions. Beginners should focus on mastering the basics before investing in performance upgrades.
- What is the difference between Factory Team turnbuckles and standard Team Associated turnbuckles? — Factory Team represents the premium engineering and manufacturing standard within Team Associated's product range. Factory Team components, including these titanium turnbuckles, undergo more rigorous testing, use higher-grade materials, and are engineered to tighter tolerances than standard components. They are trusted by professional RC drivers and serious competitors who demand maximum performance and reliability from every component in their build.
- How do lightweight turnbuckles improve RC car performance? — Suspension components that are lighter require less energy to move, allowing your suspension system to respond more quickly to bumps and track features. This improved responsiveness translates into better handling, faster weight transfer during cornering, improved traction, and ultimately faster lap times. The weight reduction is particularly beneficial in competitive RC racing applications where marginal performance improvements can determine race outcomes.
