This aluminium completed tie rod set is manufactured for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST chassis and supplied as a 7pcs kit. It provides a metal option to replace the original plastic linkages, helping to maintain steering geometry and cut down on unwanted flex during setup.
Fitment is aimed at hobbyists with basic model experience: confirm ball joints seat correctly, engage threads fully, match each rod to stock lengths where needed, and avoid over-tightening small fasteners. After fitting, cycle the steering and watch suspension articulation to ensure no binding is present.
For setup work, aluminium linkages stabilise mechanical feedback to the servo and support more consistent toe and trim adjustments when dialing in steering endpoints or suspension settings. Use the set as part of incremental tuning rather than a single-change approach.
A practical upgrade for LaTrax SST owners after steadier steering geometry and tougher linkages for everyday running and setup work.
