Axial Yeti XL Front Adjustable Upper Tie Rod YTL054 Upgrade by GPM  [YTL054]

Adjustable upper tie rod for Yeti XL steering setup

This aluminium front adjustable upper tie rod is intended as an RC replacement or hop-up for the Axial Racing Yeti XL steering assembly. Supplied as a pair, the component is aimed at improving repeatability in setup and giving precise control over front-end geometry without implying any real-world full-scale use.

Serving as a tuning link within the front steering linkage, the unit allows incremental length adjustment to influence toe and steering centring. That capability helps when adapting handling for varying track surfaces and tyre selections. The aluminium build reduces flex compared with common plastic originals, helping maintain consistent steering under load.

Installation is aimed at experienced hobbyists familiar with link work: replace the stock upper tie rods with the adjustable set, check that ball ends and threads match your existing hardware, and equalise both sides before trimming final toe. Always verify full suspension and steering travel after installation to ensure there is no binding and that steering runs smoothly.

For those wanting a tougher, adjustable front linkage for the Yeti XL, this aluminium upper tie rod provides a straightforward way to dial in steering geometry and reduce compliance from stock pieces.
