Axial Yeti XL Front Adjustable Upper Tie Rod YTL054 by GPM  [YTL054]

Adjustable front upper tie rod for Yeti XL steering

This aluminium front adjustable upper tie rod is produced as an RC-scale replacement and hop-up for the Axial Racing Yeti XL steering assembly. Supplied as a 1 pr set, the part is aimed at improving setup repeatability and giving finer control over front-end geometry without implying any full-scale application.

The component functions as a tuning link in the front steering linkage by allowing precise length adjustment to affect toe and steering centring. In an RC setup this helps when tailoring handling for differing track surfaces or tyre choices. The aluminium gives greater stiffness compared with many stock plastic links, helping reduce unwanted flex under steering loads.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists comfortable with front-end linkage work: remove the factory upper tie rods and fit the adjustable units, ensure rod ends match existing ball ends or hardware, and set both sides to the same length before trimming final toe. After fitment, cycle full suspension travel and steering to check for binding and clearance to guarantee smooth operation.

For hobbyists wanting a more stable, adjustable front linkage for the Yeti XL, this GPM aluminium upper tie rod provides a direct path to refine steering geometry and cut compliance from the stock parts.
