Precision CNC-style steel tie rods for LaTrax SST

This tie rod set is a scale RC steering component for TRAXXAS LaTrax SST 1/18, designated SST160S. The parts are presented as a steel alternative to factory plastic links, engineered to reduce thread wear and maintain factory steering geometry for consistent handling in 1/18 scale platforms.

Focusing on the threaded ball end failure mode, the single-piece steel construction improves resistance to deformation under cyclic steering loads. The front and rear pair provides a practical upgrade path for hobbyists seeking improved durability and predictable steering feedback during extended running and setup work.

Use these precision steel tie rods when durability and repeatable steering are required for demanding use or frequent practice sessions.

Are thread specifications identical to stock parts?

The tie rods are made to match stock thread sizes for direct fitment; verify thread engagement and apply correct torque values during installation.

What material treatments are used to enhance wear resistance?

Components are supplied in hardened steel form to resist thread deformation under repeated loads; surface finish reduces corrosion risk in routine use.

Can these be used with lightweight steering arms?

They are compatible with standard steering arms, but check arm strength and servo capacity when combining heavier steel links with lightweight components.

Is periodic inspection required?

Regular inspection of thread engagement and fastener torque is advised to ensure long-term performance and to detect any early wear signs.
