Notorious Broken turnbuckle (?)

[Ballshrinker]

Happy New Years people!

I just broke what I think is the turnbuckle on my 6s notorious. Its the long part that connects the servo to the wheel for turning. I hit a mailbox and snapped it.

Whats the recommended replacement? Not finding much on the web.

Happy new year. Amain has 5 pages of turnbuckles. Take a look at your manual, figure out what you need.

It broke off in the piece that connects it to the wheel. I think I need the assembly. Whats that called?

 

[RCBro80]

Are these the parts you're referring to? I broke some early on, but I wouldn't say they're a weak point unless you hit a lot of stuff.

Definitely not a weak point I would just replace with stock parts honestly

I'm going to have to take a pic from home. I cant tell. I looked online at the manual and can't tell. Its the linkage arm that is as long as the a-arms and it pulls the tires when the servo rotates. Sorry, I'm such a newb. The side that attaches to the tire has a triangular shape to it and it broke at that connection, leaving the shaft in that triangular piece.

That sounds like the parts I highlighted. Here's the real deal

 

[Ballshrinker]

Ok. Wouldn't mind upgrading it or buying stock. Really just want fastest way back up. I'm almost home and will send a pic to be sure. (<5min)

That is how they always break since Arrma swapped over to the never pop balls, I hate them and refuse to use them. I ran my Outcast for over 2 years with the old style balls decided to toss on the never pop balls and starting snapping turnbuckles constantly, swapped back to the old balls and haven't broken a turnbuckle since. Replace the balls with these https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR340074 the turnbuckle will pop off before it breaks most of the time.

Does this show it well enough?

Just a quick Mars bash

But I can't get that stub out where it broke. I still think I need the assembly. Any ideas on getting it out so I only need the turnbuckle?

I managed to... Had to cut away a bit of the plastic

With my gpm turnbuckles they are so damn thick I just snap screws all the time now. Except when I hit poles oddly enough, bent one real good and sheared the metal ball on another. Still deciding on going back to stock with the old balls.

 

[Ballshrinker]

Whats the parts that the turnbuckle screws into on the tire side?
