Precision spring steel tie rod set

Engineered for the TRAXXAS Slash 4x4 Low-cg 68086-21, this seven-piece spring steel tie rod set is intended as a direct replacement for standard steering links while keeping the original geometry and steering kinematics.

Manufactured from spring steel to reduce elastic deformation under load, the set provides firmer link behaviour compared with plated links. During assembly confirm thread engagement, align left and right orientations correctly, and set initial toe values before testing.

Fine tuning is achieved by incremental length changes; small adjustments influence toe and turn-in, so validate each change on controlled test runs and monitor for unwanted vibration transmission due to the stiffer material.

  • TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 LOW CG

What is the primary benefit of spring steel here?

Spring steel reduces elastic deflection under steering loads, improving precision and reducing transient compliance compared with softer plated links.

How should I confirm correct installation?

Verify thread engagement, match left/right orientations, set baseline toe, then perform a controlled test run and recheck fastener torque and joint play.

Can these rods affect handling balance?

Yes, their stiffness can change turn-in and mid-corner feel; tune incrementally and observe handling to maintain the desired balance.
