Precision-engineered tie rod replacement for HPI Bullet 3.0 MT and ST

This CNC-aware description targets hobbyists seeking a durable, direct-fit aftermarket linkage solution for HPI Bullet 3.0 MT and ST nitro chassis. The kit uses spring steel rod stock with moulded plastic end fittings to balance fatigue resistance and low mass while preserving threaded adjustability and ball socket retention.

The seven-piece pack is intended to replace fatigued steering and suspension links, restoring correct geometry and allowing repeatable toe adjustments without modifying the original chassis architecture. Components are supplied as aftermarket equivalents for maintenance and repair.

Technical fitting notes: inspect ball cups, socket clearances and threaded connectors for wear prior to assembly. Replace any compromised bearings or ends, set tie rod lengths to factory geometry, and confirm free articulation of steering and suspension through full travel to avoid preload or binding.

Specifications

  • Item: Spring steel tie rod with plastic ends - 7pcs set
  • Material: Spring steel, plastic end fittings
  • Model Number: GPM BMT160ST
  • Compatibility: HPI Bullet 3.0 Mt and St (Nitro Engines)

Designed to deliver consistent linkage geometry and predictable steering response for maintenance-focused builders; validate alignment and joint freedom after installation.

What tolerances should I check on ball cups before refit?

Check radial play at the ball socket and ensure the cup retains the ball without lateral movement; any perceptible play will reduce steering precision and should be replaced.

Is the spring steel hardened or tempered?

The rods use spring steel designed for fatigue resistance in linkage applications; treat threads carefully when adjusting to avoid galling and ensure secure locknut torque.

What assembly checks are recommended after installation?

Confirm toe settings against the original reference, cycle steering and suspension to check for binding, and re-torque locking hardware after a short run-in period.
