Aluminum Turnbuckle Rods for Fazer D2
This Kyosho FAW318 turnbuckle rod set is an RC-scale accessory designed for the Fazer D2 on-road drift chassis. The set supplies the steering linkages and rear upper links used to replace or upgrade stock plastic rods, with a focus on improved rigidity and repeatable adjustment during setup sessions.
Built from A7075 aluminum with a red anodized finish, the parts give a firmer connection between the servo output and steering knuckles and between the rear uprights and upper link mount points. The use of A7075 increases torsional stiffness compared with typical plastic components, helping the chassis respond more consistently to steering inputs in drift and precision driving.
Compatibility is centered on the Fazer D2 chassis. The set includes the steering/servo rod and rear upper rods as replacement items; verify fitment against the Fazer D2 linkage geometry before installation if your car has been modified.
Installation tips: use proper thread engagement when setting the turnbuckles to avoid stripped threads, keep a light thread-lock on steel-to-aluminum mating fasteners where specified by your chassis manual, and check that ball cups or rod ends articulate freely without binding. Small alignment changes to rod length will affect toe and steering trim, so make incremental adjustments and re-check handling after each change.
Maintenance: inspect the anodized surfaces for burrs or deformities after crashes, and replace any bent rod rather than attempting to straighten it, as straightening can compromise fatigue life. Periodic checks of rod-end play and securement at the servo arm and uprights will keep setup consistent.
The FAW318 set provides a direct, aluminum replacement for Fazer D2 linkage points, offering a stable platform for fine tuning steering and rear toe on on-road drift setups.
