TRAXXAS X-Maxx Front Steering Link Upgrade Aluminium TXM047 by GPM  [TXM047]

Front steering rod in aluminium for X-Maxx

The GPM TXM047 front steering rod is an aftermarket aluminium link for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx, supplied as 1pr to replace the original front steering linkage. It is intended for routine repairs and tuning where stock links show wear or deformation.

This aluminium rod aims to deliver better stiffness and corrosion resistance compared with softer materials, keeping steering response more consistent under stress. It is a sensible upgrade for drivers who run rough tracks or need a tougher link for repeated high-load use.

Fitting is user-friendly for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance: remove the old linkage, inspect the ball studs and hub hardware for wear, fit the new rod onto the existing studs, then confirm toe and servo centre before final tightening. Typical hex drivers are all that are required.

For TRAXXAS X-Maxx owners seeking a direct aluminium replacement to reduce link flex and maintain steering alignment, the GPM TXM047 is a practical aftermarket option that works with existing linkage hardware.
