Product summary and fit notes

This front steering tie rod assembly fits ARRMA 1/5 Kraton and Outcast vehicles and carries the model number MAKX162S/V2. Made from 4140 carbon steel with an 8mm link thickness, it offers center-to-center adjustment between 163mm and 168mm. The hardware is supplied pre-assembled; applying a medium-strength thread locker to mounting fasteners is recommended to prevent loosening after use.

The item replaces the factory steering linkage group referenced by the original part numbers listed below. Adjustable rod ends let you tune toe and steering geometry without altering knuckles or hubs, and the steel construction is designed for RC-level impacts and wear rather than full-scale applications.

Packing includes

  • Front Steering Tie Rod - 2pcs
  • Plastic Rod End - 4pcs

Install this adjustable steel tie rod as the matched replacement for the factory linkage; verify fit with the compatible models and secure all fasteners after alignment checks.

What are the basic steps to replace the factory tie rod?

Remove the stock linkage, fit the new tie rod to the steering knuckles and servo horn, adjust the rod ends to achieve the desired alignment, lock the nuts, and apply medium-strength thread locker before final checks.

Do I need special parts to secure the rod ends?

No special parts are required; use the supplied rod ends and included hardware, tighten lock nuts and use medium-strength thread locker to keep the adjustment secure.

How do I confirm correct alignment after fitting?

Set the tie rod to the specified C2C range, centre the steering servo, then test-drive at low speed to observe straight-line tracking; make small adjustments and re-tighten when satisfied.

Will I need to replace any parts when upgrading?

In most cases the tie rod installs with the existing steering knuckles and hubs; check the compatible models list and the original part numbers to confirm direct replacement before starting work.
