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.
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.
