Anti-thread spring steel turnbuckles

The WW2160ST kit provides a 6pcs set of anti-thread turnbuckles as an aftermarket upgrade for the TAMIYA Wild Willy 2 WR-02. Built for scale RC use, these replace common threaded links to limit self-loosening from vibration and repetitive inputs.

These items anchor steering and suspension linkages on the WR-02 and allow controlled trimming of toe, camber and ride height during setup. The spring-steel material preserves engagement while permitting slight give to resist backing out under shocks and hard use.

Installation is straightforward: remove the existing rod ends, match the required length and thread type, fit the turnbuckle and secure both ends, then verify steering travel and suspension movement. Use protective-jawed pliers or soft-jaw tools to avoid damaging the threads when handling spring-steel parts.

Practical advice: lock in minor trim adjustments that tend to drift, visually confirm thread engagement after the first session, and include these checks in regular maintenance. The set is a stability-focused upgrade, not a geometry-altering mod.

Yes for many modified WR-02s, but always confirm thread size and total length match your custom link setup before fitting.
Standard small hex drivers and soft-jaw pliers are sufficient; avoid metal-on-metal clamping that could nick threads.
Inspect threads regularly; spring-steel offers durability but replace any turnbuckle showing thread deformation or excessive wear.
