High-Precision Turnbuckles for Fazer D2

This Kyosho FAW318 turnbuckle rod set provides an aluminum replacement for the Fazer D2 on-road drift chassis' steering and rear upper linkages. The adjustable rods let you lock in precise lengths and deliver a crisper steering feel compared with the original plastic components, aiding consistent steering response.

Made from A7075 aluminum and finished in red anodize, the set improves torsional rigidity between servo output and the steering knuckles as well as between rear uprights and upper link mounts. The stiffer links make steering inputs more predictable during drift maneuvers and precise runs.

The kit is intended for the Fazer D2 chassis. Included items are the steering/servo turnbuckle and the rear upper rods; check existing linkage geometry if your vehicle has aftermarket parts so fitment is confirmed before installation.

Installation hints: thread components by hand initially and check alignment, then secure fasteners to the recommended torque. Use light thread-lock on mixed-metal joints where advised and ensure ball cups articulate without binding. Small length changes will alter toe and steering trim, so modify incrementally and test between adjustments.

Care tips: after impacts inspect the anodized finish for nicks and discard any bent rod rather than attempting to bend it back, as repair can weaken the metal. Regularly check rod-end play and fastener tightness to preserve setup accuracy.

FAW318 offers a reliable aluminum upgrade to the Fazer D2 linkage system, giving a stable platform for tuning steering and rear toe settings.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.
The stiffer A7075 turnbuckles reduce flex in the linkage, which produces a more direct steering response and makes small trim adjustments more repeatable.
Yes. The adjustable turnbuckles allow precise incremental changes to rod length, so you can dial toe and steering trim with greater repeatability than with fixed plastic links.
Periodic inspection of rod ends and securement points is recommended; replacing worn ball cups and ensuring fasteners stay tight preserves tuning accuracy over time.
Expect slightly more immediate steering feedback; check servo centering and make small toe adjustments since aluminum changes how the chassis reacts to input.
