Precision steering tie rod for CW-01

This aluminium steering tie rod set is intended for the Tamiya CW-01 (Lunch Box) chassis and is identified by model LB160TM. The assembly combines an anti-thread adjustment design with a supplied servo horn to provide a direct replacement for standard steering linkages.

Engineered for improved linkage control, the aluminium construction aims to deliver a firmer, more predictable steering feel compared with basic plastic parts, while the anti-thread feature helps retain selected adjustments under vibratory load.

Installation guidance: install the tie rod between the steering bellcrank and the servo horn, verify servo spline engagement and set travel endpoints before final torqueing. Use appropriate hobby fasteners and apply thread-lock where metal-to-metal joints are prone to back-off. No special tooling beyond common RC workshop items is required.

Setup and tuning: this upgrade reduces free play in steering components and supports more consistent cornering. For best results pair it with calibrated servo endpoints and fine trim rather than increasing mechanical throw beyond safe limits for the chassis.

LB160TM is designed to suit the steering geometry of the CW-01 chassis. Confirm dimensions and spline fit before installation if using non-standard components.
Use correct grade hobby fasteners and consider a low-strength thread-lock on metal joints subject to vibration. Avoid over-torquing adjustable points to preserve the anti-thread function.
Reduce steering slop by combining the tie rod with precise servo endpoint settings and subtrim adjustments, keeping throw within the chassis design limits for repeatable handling.
