Precision Spring Steel Tie Rods for Traxxas Craniac

This GPM spring steel anti-thread tie rod set is a six-piece replacement designed to restore and improve the steering linkage of the TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck. The material choice focuses on consistent mechanical behaviour under load to reduce thread damage and minimise in-service wear.

Technical Highlights

  • Material: Spring steel selected for repeatable elastic response and resistance to fatigue.
  • Compatibility: Produced to match the TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac linkage geometry.
  • Functionality: Reduces the incidence of thread stripping and improves steering input fidelity.
  • Set Includes: 6 pieces to replace all factory tie rods in the steering assembly.

Installation and Servicing Guidance

During installation, confirm correct thread engagement and torque settings for all fasteners. Inspect ball joints and rod ends periodically and replace components showing wear to maintain predictable steering behaviour.

How do these rods improve steering consistency?

Using spring steel reduces permanent deformation under shock loading and keeps the linkage geometry stable, which leads to repeatable steering inputs and reduced adjustment frequency.

Are any special checks recommended after fitting?

Verify full travel without binding, confirm secure thread engagement and re-torque fasteners after initial running to detect any settling in the linkage.

What signs indicate replacement is needed?

Look for increased steering play, visible thread damage or bent rods. Any component exhibiting these faults should be replaced to preserve steering performance.
