I take it yours has the turnbuckle rod thingy as my V1rr ... is round with a hole in it big enough for a 1.5mm hex head.

I have never seen a special tool for this .... but there are a few for the turnbuckles that have a square section instead of the round one.

You could always change the turnbuckles over ....

Looky hear RCMushroom has some tools and turnbuckles on this page

I would love to see someone make a ratchet type one somehow so it could be quickly adjusted in those tight spaces .... but an open ended ratchet spanner in a small size doesn't exist .. YET!
I thought that was my invention lol ...but I see it was patented in 1951!

Use a body clip...

Or place the allen key in a 1.5mm tool handle.

If your turnbuckle is as NitoriousRC describes, (or like the Tie Rods on a Vone RRR), I use my Hudy Exhaust Spring (Hook) Tool. Works pretty good!

I pick this up from lowes & works perfect & cheaper than any rc spring tool

You can make your own tool for that part of the car. Just take the smallest L-shaped (1.5) allen key and cut the shortest side of the L in half. Now you have createde own you SPECIFIC TOOL .

Stop by any Harbor Freight tool shop and they have a complete set of tools that cost less than $5.00 for the whole set.
There are approx. 5 to 6 different angle pointed tools that work perfect for the rear camber on any 1/8th scale car.
Some have 90% bends, some have 45% bends, some have hooks.
I have not used anything else sense I found these.
I have ran Kyosho, Mugen, and Serpent, and the tools worked great on all the cars. I dont have a part number, but they come in a small case like a set of jewelers screwdrivers, have orange plastic handles, with the different tools on both ends.
For approx. $5.00, you cant beat it.

I used a piece of piano wire on my Evolva. Its soft enough so you can bend it for all the different angles, but stiff enough to be able to crank on the turnbuckle. Worked on the front too untill I changed over to Lunsford rods.

Hmmm very interesting!
I used to use an allen key in the beginning, but I got tired of that so I just grabbed it with a pair of bent pliers - works 95% of the time
I like the "make-your-own" options, Ill definitely try it out!
