Improve Steering Response with the Tamiya 50068 Rod Set

The Tamiya 50068 Ball Link Adjustable Rod Set is aimed at hobbyists who want cleaner steering inputs and easier setup adjustments for monster trucks and similar RC models. It is compatible with chassis types such as TGX-Mk.1, TG10-Mk.1, TGM-01, TGR, and TG10R.

Key Advantages of Adjustable Ball Links

Using ball link rod ends reduces backlash and delivers more consistent steering feel, which helps when tuning handling for bashing or track use. The adjustability makes it easy to tweak geometry for different setups.

Fitting Notes for Enthusiasts

Fit the rods so they sit free through full motion; avoid overtightening which can bind joints. Check linkages after initial runs and replace any worn balls or sockets to maintain precise control.

Are replacement rod ends available for Tamiya 50068?

Replacement ends are often available from parts suppliers; match the ball size and thread to ensure a direct swap.

What servo strength is recommended when using these rods?

Select a servo with adequate torque for your vehicle weight and tyre grip. The rods improve linkage precision but do not replace the need for a suitably powerful servo.

Can I thread lock the rod ends?

Use mild thread lock on metal-to-metal joins if you want a more permanent setup, but avoid using heavy lock that makes future adjustments difficult.

Will these rods help with on track consistency?

Yes, reducing play in linkages can make steering inputs more predictable, which supports repeatable lap times and consistent handling.
