This RC-scale steering tie rod is made for the Axial Racing Yeti platform and is supplied as a single pair. The assembly pairs a spring steel rod body with machined aluminium end fittings to cut thread wear where the linkage meets the ball joints and steering knuckles.
Designed as an aftermarket replacement, the unit focuses on long-term durability under the low-speed impacts and scraping common in rock racing and trail running. It links the servo output to the steering assembly, so it affects steering feel and reliability rather than vehicle-level power or speed.
Fitting replaces the stock steering rod using the existing linkage points on the chassis and steering hubs. No special adapters are needed; the rod is intended to accept the same ball ends and mounting locations as the original Yeti tie rod. Verify your current linkage length and ball-end spacing before final installation to confirm steering geometry.
As a tuning choice, this part is primarily a durability upgrade. The spring steel centre reduces the risk of stripped threads at the aluminium ends during repeated low-speed impacts, while the aluminium terminations provide a firmer contact surface for ball ends than many stock plastic pieces.
