This precision-engineered completed aluminium tie rod set is specified as a direct replacement for plastic linkage on TRAXXAS Slash 4x4 Low-cg 68086-21 Version models, supplied in a 7pcs configuration for steering and suspension linkage points.
Each of the seven rods is finished to provide consistent length and alignment, reducing torsional deflection compared with stock plastic parts and improving repeatable steering inputs. The assemblies are supplied complete to eliminate incremental assembly variables during fitment.
Recommended installation workflow for experienced technicians: remove the affected plastic linkages, retain and transfer compatible ball studs and fasteners, install the aluminium rods ensuring thread engagement and preload are correct, then inspect steering geometry and full suspension sweep for binding. These components are intended for RC-grade applications and scale vehicle systems on the specified Slash 4x4 Low-cg chassis.
Tuning implications: aluminium linkages increase steering system stiffness and reduce compliance seen in aged plastic parts, helping to stabilise steering behaviour under varying loads and enabling finer setup adjustments.
A CNC-friendly upgrade choice for hobbyists focused on precision and durability, offering predictable link behaviour and reduced flex for the specified Slash 4x4 Low-cg platform.
