Tie rod description and specifications

This front steering tie rod assembly is intended for ARRMA 1/5 Kraton and Outcast models and is supplied under the MAKX162S/V2 designation. Constructed from 4140 carbon steel with an 8mm main link thickness, the assembly allows center-to-center adjustment between 163mm and 168mm. Hardware comes pre-installed; using a medium-strength thread locker on fasteners is advised to limit vibration-related loosening.

The component is a direct replacement for the factory steering linkage group referenced in the original part numbers below. Adjustable rod ends support toe adjustment and steering geometry tweaks without modifying knuckles or hubs, and the steel build is designed for normal RC bashing and wear situations.

Fit this steel adjustable tie rod when you need a durable replacement for the matched factory linkage; confirm compatibility with the model list and secure fasteners per the alignment procedure.

How does changing the tie rod length affect steering geometry?

Altering the center-to-center length adjusts toe and alters steering response; small changes within the 163-168mm range let you fine-tune handling without replacing knuckles.

What tools are needed for tuning the rod ends?

A small spanner or pliers to turn the rod ends and a holder for the link while locking the nuts are sufficient; finish by applying medium-strength thread locker to the nuts.

Can I use this on other ARRMA sizes?

This item is specified for the 1/5 Kraton and Outcast listings shown. For other scale or model variants, verify dimensions and fit before installation.

Will adjustment remain secure under hard driving?

When rod ends are locked and medium-strength thread locker is applied, the settings should remain stable under typical high-speed or bashing use; re-check after initial testing.
