Precision stainless tie rod set for XO-1 tuning

This 31 piece tie rod and turnbuckle assembly is an aftermarket upgrade for the TRAXXAS XO-1 chassis, developed to improve steering stiffness and repeatability by replacing upper arm turnbuckles and steering linkage components.

Critical parts are stainless steel with a thickened section to elevate structural rigidity and wear resistance under tuning and aggressive use. Opposing threaded turnbuckles permit micro-adjustments to rod length and toe by rotating the turnbuckle body, enabling fine geometric changes without disassembling ball link ends.

The kit contains a curated selection of stainless screws and 3mm locknuts to suit common XO-1 mounting points, supplied as a complete hardware pack for one car. During installation confirm matched thread engagement left and right and verify steering travel across full throw to prevent linkage binding.

Specifications

  • Item: Tie rod and turnbuckle set
  • Material: Stainless steel
  • Model Number: XO160S
  • Compatibility: TRAXXAS XO-1 chassis

Designed for hobbyists seeking a firmer, tunable steering assembly, this stainless steel set improves link stiffness and allows precise toe calibration on the TRAXXAS XO-1 platform.

What inspections are recommended after fitment?

Verify symmetric thread turns, check for free articulation through full steering range, and confirm locknut torque after final geometry is set.

Can I micro-adjust toe without removing ends?

Yes, opposing-thread turnbuckles allow incremental length changes simply by rotating the body, preserving ball link connections during tuning.

Are replacement screws included?

The kit includes assorted stainless screws and multiple 3mm locknuts sized to match common XO-1 mounting points for immediate installation.

Will these work with upgraded steering arms?

They are compatible with typical XO-1 linkage geometries; confirm ball cup and thread fitment when pairing with nonstandard steering arms.
