ARRMA 1/5 Kraton/Outcast Front Steering Tie Rod 4140 Carbon Steel Adjustable 163-168mm MAKX162S/V2 by GPM  [MAKX162S/V2]

Heavy-duty front steering tie rod overview

This RC-scale front steering tie rod assembly fits ARRMA 1/5 Kraton and Outcast platforms and is supplied as model MAKX162S/V2. The kit uses 4140 carbon steel with an 8mm main link thickness and provides center-to-center adjustment from 163mm to 168mm. All hardware is supplied pre-assembled; the manufacturer recommends a medium-strength thread locker on fasteners to reduce loosening under heavy use.

This component replaces the factory steering linkage grouping shown under the original part numbers listed below. The adjustable rod ends allow precise toe and steering geometry tuning without modifying the steering knuckles or hubs, and the steel construction is intended for typical RC impact and wear conditions rather than full-scale applications.

Use this tie rod as a steel, adjustable replacement for the matched factory linkage set; confirm fit against the compatible models list and re-apply thread locker after final alignment checks.
