This 7pc completed tie rod assembly set is an aftermarket steering upgrade for the TAMIYA M1025 Hummer RC and is produced as GPM model HM160ST. Each rod is delivered finished and prepared for direct installation on electric 1/10 scale steering linkages.
Manufactured to improve resistance to bending, the spring steel construction offers greater durability compared with stock plastic rods while maintaining the link geometry required by standard M1025 Hummer knuckles and drag link locations. Completed assemblies remove the need to assemble individual rod ends during the initial fit stage.
Installation guidance: verify thread pitch and assembly lengths before fitting, apply thread locker only where service protocols call for it, and confirm steering throw, toe and alignment after installation. These components are intended solely for RC model applications and not for full-size vehicles.
Tuning advantages: replacing plastic links with spring steel assemblies increases steering stiffness and helps retain alignment after moderate impacts, assisting fine tuning of toe and ackermann for specific surface conditions and handling balance.
