Yokomo turnbuckle shaft size?
Does anyone know what size Yokomo turnbuckles are? 4-40 or 3mm threads by any chance?

Re: Yokomo turnbuckle shaft size?
The Yokomo ones I've purchased have all been 3mm I've also used lunsford ones which are 4-40 which is broadly the same when it comes to screwing into ball joints.

Re: Yokomo turnbuckle shaft size?
I saw Techno listing their turnbuckles as 4mm then the thread as 3mm and wondered if Yokomo was doing the same thing.

Other possibilities...

Re: Yokomo turnbuckle shaft size?
Ok.... so I cross-referenced the instructions for a YZ-2T:
Which shows the same "4mm" spec... then I took a caliper to one of the YZ-2T's I've got and the turnbuckle shaft measures out to 2.8mm
...Apparently the US isn't the only one with a standardization problem
