Nope, but I have broke a couple Lunsford turnbuckles in my day. I just use the plain Associated FT turnbuckles on my mini trucks and i have found that they do bend sometimes, in fact I haven't broke any yet... I race mod 1/18th truck on carpet and with 5-8 brushless/lipo trucks on the track at a time things can get kind of interesting lol.

Could be one of your bearings going (unlikely though since its new).

Heres where I race and turnbuckles don't stand a chance against the wooden sides



Usually far more jumps

turnbuckles made by a company called Lunsford

Google http://www.google.com/search?source=...=Lunsford&aq=f works great for answering basic questions

I tried a new turnbuckle of a different length and the top of the left tire still leans to the left.

Any ideas?

That you're making it way harder than it should be

Oh am I?

Dude, you keep having so many problems that if you'd take just the barest amount of time to try and self-diagnose that you'd be able to figure most of them out for yourself. You are leading me to believe this hobby is overly complicated for your abilities.

Facts are, and most simply stated: If you were using a turnbuckle that was too long adjusted to its minimum length it would most likely lean outwards. If you were using one that was too short adjusted to its maximum length it would most likely lean inwards. But if you if you are using the correct length turnbuckle, as specified in the manual and adjusted correctly, it would be impossible for the wheel to lean either direction too far to obtain a correct alignment.

I understand that, but I have it set at what the manual says and its still doing it. So something must be screwed up.

Impossible!

Yup

Its not impossible because its happening right before my eyes.

Sounds like another example of operator error.

I didnt make it that way. No worry though, It runs fine. It just drives my OCD crazy.
