Engineered Nylon Ball Links for Accurate Steering Geometry

The GPM BL261139254 ball links are CNC-compatible replacement links for 1/14 to 1/18 scale steering assemblies. Each link features a reinforced nylon housing and accurately sized 3.9x2.5x4mm balls to reduce lateral play and stabilise tie rod behaviour under load.

Technical Highlights

  • Material: Reinforced nylon chosen for fatigue resistance and dimensional stability
  • Size: Precision 3.9x2.5x4mm balls with an 11mm overall link length for consistent geometry
  • Compatibility: Intended for standard 1/14-1/18 scale steering linkages and tie rods
  • Function: Improves steering precision and reduces cumulative backlash in link assemblies

Compatible Models

  • Traxxas Slash
  • Team Associated RC18T
  • Kyosho Mini-Z

What installation checks should be performed?

Verify thread pitch and end fittings for correct engagement, ensure ball seats are clean, and confirm the link length matches existing geometry to avoid steering toe changes.

How does nylon compare to metal in this application?

Nylon offers impact resilience and weight savings while providing controlled compliance; metal parts resist wear but can transfer more shock to bearings and servo horns.

Are these suitable for competitive use?

They are suitable for club level competition where predictable steering and reduced play are priorities. For extreme endurance or heavy impact environments, evaluate metal alternatives.
