Axial Yeti Aluminum Tie Rod Upgrade - YT-25005-BK by Jazrider  [YT-25005-BK]

Setup and Tuning Notes — YT-25005-BK

This RC-grade aluminum steering linkage fits the Axial Yeti chassis and is identified by model YT-25005-BK. It swaps in for the plastic linkages to give a more rigid connection between the servo and steering knuckles, which influences steering responsiveness on technical tracks.

Installation follows standard Yeti procedures: remove the original tie rods, fit or replace rod ends as needed, then secure with the existing hardware. A touch of threadlocker on threaded metal joints is recommended, and check neutral toe before final tightening. Perform a re-torque after the first run to confirm parts have seated correctly.

When tuning, use the aluminum linkage as a stable baseline for adjusting toe and Ackermann; the stiffer part can change steering feedback, so you may need to tweak servo endpoints or dual-rate settings. Regular alignment checks will help the car remain predictable as you fine tune handling for different courses.
