These aluminium tie rods are an aftermarket steering linkage upgrade designed for TRAXXAS Latrax Rally 1/18 vehicles and supplied as a 6pcs set. The metal replacements aim to provide firmer steering connections compared with stock plastic links while maintaining a realistic scale look.
Functionally the tie rods form part of the steering linkage and will affect toe and steering response when used during setup. The "-0.5 Degree" designation identifies the steering geometry characteristic built into these pieces and is useful for methodical tuning rather than broad alignment overhauls.
Fitting notes: replace factory linkages that share the same attachment style on Latrax Rally 1/18 models. During installation, ensure matching left and right lengths for neutral steering, fully engage threaded joints, and confirm there is no interference with servo movement or suspension travel. Regular checks of joints and fasteners are advised to preserve consistent steering behaviour.
Service and tuning: treat these as maintainable RC parts, inspect connection points for wear, and make incremental geometry adjustments so handling changes are easy to assess. Metal parts will behave differently from plastic ones in terms of flex and wear, so adapt settings and maintenance accordingly.
