TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST Aluminium Completed Tie Rod SST160 by GPM  [SST160]

Precision aluminium tie rod assembly for LaTrax SST

This aluminium completed tie rod set is produced for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST platform and supplied as a 7pcs kit. It is an RC-scale steering component intended to replace or upgrade the stock linkage on the LaTrax SST, offering a metal alternative where consistent steering geometry and reduced flex are required for setup and tuning.

Installation follows standard workshop practice: confirm ball-end seating and full thread engagement, align rod lengths to the original geometry, and secure fasteners to a controlled torque. Validate steering sweep and suspension articulation while cycling the steering to ensure no binding occurs.

Used as a tuning element, the aluminium links provide firmer mechanical feedback and support repeatable toe and trim adjustments across multiple runs. Employ them within a measured setup procedure when refining steering endpoints, servo centring and suspension alignment.

A technically focused upgrade for hobbyists seeking a durable, consistent steering linkage for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST, suitable for detailed setup and performance-oriented maintenance.
