Tamiya XV01 Precision Spring Steel Tie Rods XV160S by GPM  [XV160S]

Technical overview for Tamiya XV01 tie rod upgrade

This aftermarket spring steel completed tie rod set is engineered for the Tamiya XV01 platform and supplied as a single assembled set. The design replaces stock plastic or lighter steel steering links on XV01 chassis, providing a direct metal connection that improves fatigue resistance and everyday durability under steering loads.

Fitment targets the XV01 family; confirm your chassis retains the standard XV01 steering geometry before installation. The completed tie rods arrive pre-assembled to streamline replacement. Installation requires standard hand tools and careful verification of thread engagement and locknut seating to maintain alignment accuracy.

From a tuning and engineering viewpoint, spring steel links improve fatigue life and reduce permanent deformation risk, helping to keep steering geometry stable during repeated impacts and routine setup changes. These characteristics support consistent on-road handling and predictable suspension response for precision driving.
