TAMIYA Wild Willy 2 WR-02 Spring-steel Anti-thread Turnbuckle Set WW2160ST by GPM  [WW2160ST]

Spring-steel anti-backout turnbuckle set

The WW2160ST turnbuckle set is an aftermarket linkage upgrade for the TAMIYA Wild Willy 2 WR-02 platform, supplied as a 6pcs kit of anti-thread turnbuckles formed from spring steel. These replace standard threaded link parts to cut down on self-loosening from vibration and heavy steering loads.

On the WR-02 chassis the components secure steering and suspension linkages while providing repeatable adjustment for toe, camber or ride height during setup. The spring-steel construction keeps thread engagement and allows a bit of flex so links resist backing out under impacts and frequent steering inputs.

Fitting follows standard turnbuckle replacement steps: remove the current rod ends or threaded links, match overall length and thread pitch, install each turnbuckle with correct end locking, then check full steering sweep and suspension travel for any binding. Take care with pliers or hex tools to avoid nicking threads when assembling spring-steel parts.

Tuning tips: use the set to hold small trim corrections that tend to drift, inspect thread engagement after the first outings, and include a quick recheck as part of routine maintenance. These turnbuckles are intended to support normal WR-02 setup work rather than alter core geometry.
