The Yokomo YOKZCTB30B is a 30mm titanium turnbuckle intended as a direct drop-in upgrade for RC-scale tie-rod and linkage use. Compared with heavier steel or alloy links, titanium reduces mass at the link while retaining high tensile strength, helping resist flex during hard cornering and rapid steering inputs.
These turnbuckles perform two main functions: they provide an adjustable threaded section for toe and suspension geometry setup, and they form the solid link between steering arms and wheel hubs or suspension mounts. Fit them where a threaded, adjustable rod end is needed to set precise alignment on model cars.
Installation is simple for anyone used to turnbuckle-style links: remove the stock rod ends, screw the turnbuckle into the rod end or ball cup, then secure the length with existing jam nuts or a suitable thread-lock method. Verify full thread engagement and smooth movement through suspension travel to prevent binding or unwanted preload on bearings and pivots.
Tuning tip: make small length changes to alter toe and minor suspension geometry, and test changes one at a time in a controlled run. Titanium links offer weight savings and corrosion resistance, but check thread roots and rod-end interfaces regularly after heavy running.
