TRAXXAS Latrax Rally 1/18 Precision Aluminium Tie Rods LTX160/-0.5 by GPM  [LTX160/-0.5]

Precision aluminium tie rod assembly for Latrax Rally 1/18

This precision aluminium tie rod set is an engineered steering linkage upgrade for TRAXXAS Latrax Rally 1/18 vehicles, supplied as a 6pcs kit. The metal link replacements provide a firmer, more direct steering connection compared with stock plastic components while maintaining scale-appropriate dimensions.

Operational role: the tie rods form part of the steering linkage and affect toe and steering response during tuning. The "-0.5 Degree" designation identifies the specific steering geometry characteristic of these links, which should be used as part of incremental setup changes to refine handling rather than a single alignment overhaul.

Technical fitment notes: designed to replace factory linkages with the same attachment interface on Latrax Rally 1/18 models. During installation, verify symmetric left and right lengths for neutral steering, ensure threaded joints are fully engaged, and confirm there is no interference with the servo or suspension travel. Regular inspection of joints and fasteners is recommended to maintain consistent steering performance.

Service and tuning guidance: treat these components as serviceable metal parts; inspect connection points for wear, lubricate pivot surfaces as required, and make controlled geometry adjustments so handling changes are measurable. Expect different flex and wear characteristics compared with plastic parts and adapt maintenance intervals accordingly.
