Will FAN RC Turnbuckles fit an A Stamp short-arm car?
I'm rebuilding an A stamp that I got a couple of months back, and I'm down to the last few items I need. My only question is about turnbuckles. I haven't been able to figure out if the FAN RC titanium turnbuckles will fit the original A stamp short-arm suspension? If not, are there any recommendations for which ones I should consider?
Thanks in advance!

No.
They are for the Worlds Car. Long arm, with the Worlds front tower and rear bulkhead.

Interestingly, titanium RC10 classic (and worlds) turnbuckles are now offered by JConcepts.

Like Juicedcoupe said, The FR-0063 kit from Fan RC is for a long arm car, but their turnbuckles are 4-40 thread and can be purchased individually. You need:
1x1" (26mm) Center Rack
4x1.25" (33mm) Camber Links
2x1.65" (42mm) Steering Links
1X1.65" (42mm) Servo Link
If it were for a restoration, I'd pick up a re-release tie rod kit. For titanium, CRC, Acer and Custom Works all make 3mm turnbuckles that'd fit the vibe, Yeah Racing and Reve D too. Every Chinese importer seems to sell early 3mm Associated FT style Ti turnbuckles by one name or another.

The only individual turnbuckles I see from FAN RC are the Yokomo ones. Will those work if the proper length? Also, will the standard RC10 rod ends fit the turnbuckles, or I'll need different ones?Dangeruss wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 8:51 am Like Juicedcoupe said, The FR-0063 kit from Fan RC is for a long arm car, but their turnbuckles are 4-40 thread and can be purchased individually.

If you're referring to: https://landlmodels.co.uk/products/turnbuckle-pairs-yokomo-dogfighters-all-models?_pos=5&_sid=d344d46d5&_ss=r then yep, that's what you're looking for.
With new rod ends yes, they'll thread in fine... used, wouldn't know.
