Engineered for the TRAXXAS HOSS 4X4 VXL platform, this 24-piece HS049FR kit provides CNC-machined aluminum tie rods and stabiliser components paired with stainless steel fasteners for repeatable fit and reduced play. The design targets improved steering articulation precision and lateral control while keeping standard mounting points.
Primary components are manufactured from aluminum 6061 T6 to deliver predictable stiffness and fatigue resistance for typical off-road hobby loads. The adjustable tie rods use counter-clockwise threading to enable accurate length changes for toe and track correction. A triangular stabiliser arrangement increases lateral support without restricting suspension travel.
Mounting locations include the top of the front C-hub and the top of the rear knuckle arms near each gearbox, utilising supplied rod ends and collars to replace factory linkages. Hardware is supplied as stainless steel screws and aluminium collars to ensure secure assembly and corrosion resistance in ordinary hobby environments.
HS049FR is presented as a precision aftermarket steering linkage solution for HOSS builders seeking CNC-level fitment, tunable geometry, and improved linkage longevity under hobby off-road conditions.
