Kraton Lunsford Titanium Turnbuckes - Worth it?

[RC-RAD]

Anyone have experience with these titanium turnbuckles? Over a period of time my turnbuckles tend to bend or sometimes snap (when I land sideways of course).

Would these Lunsford titanium turnbuckles be a worthy upgrade to prevent the turnbuckles from bending? I’m not looking bomb proof turnbuckles just something more stiffer.

Thanks in advance for you comments or suggestions.

If you don't bend the turnbuckles , then something else will bend or break. I just seems to always happen that way.

I recently got them for my Granite with Typhon arms, so they're Typhon length. They are definitely stronger. I was bending stock turnbuckles often. The Lunsford hold up much better. Recently I did notice one had a slight bend. I'm going to send it to Lunsford, they are supposed to have a lifetime guarantee against bends or breaks. Another benefit is they do not spin around as easily as stock. I had to readjust the stock turnbuckles after every run because they always got spun around. I have not broken any other parts due to stronger turnbuckles. I think they are well worth it. Eventually, I would have spent the extra cost to constantly replace stock turnbuckles. Not having to re-align turnbuckles after every run is a huge relief.

I snapped my front EXB turn buckle in a discussion I lost against a steel post at speed.

I decided to upgrade them. I went 1mm thicker and the same length. I don't expect it will ever break again. Even though they are thicker and stronger, they are also lighter. Score!

For me it was worth it, hands down, but it not worth it in the economic sense. But if you have some disposable income, it's a great material to use in RC cars.

Its stronger than steel and more flexible than aluminum.
