TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST Durable Aluminium Tie Rods SST160 by GPM  [SST160]

Completed aluminium tie rod kit for LaTrax SST

This aluminium completed tie rod set is supplied for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST and comes as a 7pcs kit. It replaces standard plastic linkages with a metal option to help preserve steering geometry and lower unwanted movement during setup.

Fitting should be handled with standard model workshop practices: ensure ball-ends are seated, threads fully engaged and rod lengths correspond with the stock geometry. Avoid excessive torque on small fittings and test steering range while observing suspension movement to detect any interference.

For setup and trimming, aluminium links alter mechanical feedback to the servo and can stabilise toe settings across multiple runs, making incremental tuning more reliable. Incorporate them into systematic adjustments of endpoints and alignment.

A straightforward upgrade for LaTrax SST owners after a tougher steering linkage for repeatable handling and straightforward maintenance.
