Following the black colour Fin turnbuckle kit for the TLR 22X-4 4WD buggy, JConcepts have also introduced a set for the TLR 22 5.0 2WD buggy. The base of the design is centred around a 4mm titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3.5mm thread base design which accepts the standard TLR ball-cup configuration. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the finned cuts that rotate about the centre. The turnbuckles are lightweight, they are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation, and a black colouring gives the stealthiest look in the pits and on the track.
