Stiff steel tie rod for HPI Baja buggies

This steel tie rod assembly with ball links replaces standard plastic turnbuckles on HPI Baja style buggies, offering a tougher linkage option for off-road use. It is intended for steering and suspension linkage duties where reduced flex is desired.

Installation notes: remove the stock ends and install the ball-link assembly, making sure left and right lengths and thread directions are mirrored. Simple hex keys and pliers are usually all that is needed; always run the linkage through its full travel to avoid binding. Do not reuse any ball links that show damage.

Tuning role: steel tie rods help keep steering alignment under heavy recoil and rough terrain, providing a firmer mechanical connection for precise turnbuckle trimming. This item is designed for hobby-level upgrades to steering and suspension setup on RC models.

Replace worn linkages or add rigidity to sharpen steering feel; confirm the SBJ160 fits your Baja chassis before finishing installation.

Yes, steel links reduce deflection so steering remains truer under hard impacts and high loads common during aggressive off-road use.
Ball links should be inspected and replaced when you notice play; some users clean and lightly lubricate joints to slow wear.
You may need to fine tune servo endpoints and centering after fitting to ensure endpoints and neutral trim match the firmer linkage characteristics.
Steel parts can corrode over time; wipe them down after wet or salty runs and inspect threads and joints regularly.
