Turnbuckle time! If there’s one part I wish came preassembled in every kit, it’s the turnbuckles.

Ends are installed and adjusted to the specs in the manual. Be careful you install the right ends and pay attention which side the larger opening is supposed to face.

2 down. A bunch to go.

Rear turnbuckles installed.

The Associated Factory Team turnbuckle wrench. This thing is pretty awesome. I’ve always used a multi-sized Losi wrench, but this thing has a very tight fit that made assembly of these turnbuckles a breeze.

Front ones are now installed. Woohoo!

This car is shaping up nicely. The fit and finish has been superb thus far.
