Engineering-focused aluminium tie rod assembly for XO-1

The XO160 completed tie rod set is a precision aluminium steering linkage kit developed for TRAXXAS Xo-1 models. Each rod is supplied pre-assembled with threaded terminals and ball-socket connectors to provide repeatable steering geometry and straightforward installation on standard Xo-1 knuckles and bulkheads.

Intended for hobbyists who prioritise durable steering components, the anodized aluminium construction reduces flex seen in some moulded parts and preserves linkage length under load. The set supports fine toe and turn-in adjustments without additional fabrication.

Assembly notes: verify thread engagement depths and select an appropriate medium-strength thread locker for metal-to-plastic interfaces to prevent damage to composite mounting points. Inspect ball-seat alignment and confirm total linkage length against the original assembly prior to final torquing. Use standard RC setup tools and validate steering neutral and suspension travel after installation.

Just finished building a 4-tec 2.0 with GPM parts. SOOO beautiful. After having a bad experience building a wltoys this summer it was nice to once again do another build using GPM parts. The website is nothing to brag about but, the parts are top quality.

Very good service. Website is nice, simple, and easy to navigate. Order processing went fast and shipping was extremely well-handled. With mail notifications each step of the way. The extra packaging option is definitely worth the money for overseas shipp

What checks ensure correct thread engagement?

Measure the exposed thread length after hand-tightening and ensure at least several full threads engage the nut or mounting boss; insufficient engagement risks stripping plastic mounts.

Which lubricant or threadlocker is recommended?

Use a medium-strength threadlocker for permanent but serviceable joints; avoid oils that migrate into ball seats and attract grit.

How do these rods affect steering repeatability?

Rigid aluminium construction reduces elastic deformation under load, helping the linkage maintain set lengths and improving repeatability during repeated runs.

Do the ball-socket ends require preload?

Set ball-socket fit to remove excessive play while allowing free rotation; small adjustments to cup tension will reduce slop without binding the joint.
