Robust steel tie rod for HPI Baja setups

This steel tie rod and ball-link assembly is an RC-scale replacement designed for HPI Baja vehicles, providing a durable metal option over stock plastic links. It is intended to serve both steering and suspension linkage roles, giving steadier geometry under load.

Installation notes: remove the original tie rod ends and replace them with the ball-link assembly, ensuring left and right lengths and thread directions match. Use common hand tools like hex keys and pliers and perform a full range-of-motion check to prevent binding. Replace any worn or damaged ball links rather than attempting to reuse them.

Tuning role: steel tie rods reduce unwanted flex and help the steering hold alignment during aggressive driving, making fine turnbuckle adjustments more effective. This part is aimed at hobbyists tuning steering and suspension behaviour on RC models.

Specifications

  • Item: HPI Baja Steel Tie Rod with Ball Links
  • Material: Steel
  • Model Number: SBJ160
  • Compatibility: HPI Baja

Fit this steel tie rod to replace tired linkages or to stiffen the steering system for crisper response; always check fitment on your Baja before final assembly.

The steel construction handles higher stresses better than plastic, but salt exposure can accelerate corrosion so rinse and dry parts after beach use.
Light use of a removable threadlocker can help prevent loosening; avoid permanent locking compounds if you plan frequent adjustments.
They fit standard HPI Baja geometry, so check arm clearance and joint angles when using aftermarket knuckles or hubs.
Inspect linkages before each run or after heavy impacts; look for play in ball links and any thread wear to maintain precise steering.
