Precision steel completed tie rods

The SEMX2160 is a 5-piece steel completed tie rod set compatible with TRAXXAS E-MAXX, specified for improved contact fatigue resistance over standard plastic links. The links are supplied assembled to reduce bench time during repairs and setup changes while maintaining accurate linkage geometry.

Designed for RC steering and suspension linkage replacement, these steel components are intended to lower deflection under load and provide consistent steering response. Use standard RC tools to install and verify correct rod-end engagement and free articulation.

During installation inspect ball studs, rod ends and adjacent bearings for wear; replace any worn mating parts to preserve steering alignment and reduce side load on hardware.

Specifications

  • Item: Steel completed tie rod set - 5 pcs
  • Material: Steel
  • Model Number: SEMX2160
  • Compatibility: TRAXXAS E-MAXX

For precision-oriented hobbyists seeking a durable steering link solution, SEMX2160 provides a practical steel upgrade for TRAXXAS E-MAXX maintenance and light tuning tasks.

What tolerances should I check on fitment?

Confirm rod-end bore clearance, ball-stud diameter and thread engagement depth to ensure no axial binding and correct free-play after tightening.

Are any shims or spacers required?

Most installs are direct fit; add thin shims only if lateral spacing prevents full articulation or causes contact with adjacent components.

How should I inspect for fatigue?

Inspect for thread wear, straightness and any pitting on bearing surfaces. Replace rods showing deformation or compromised threads to avoid steering failure.

Recommended maintenance interval?

Check rods as part of routine service after extended runs or impacts; frequency depends on use but a visual inspection after each event is advised.
