Heavy-duty steel tie rod for HPI Baja

This steel tie rod assembly with ball links is a scale replacement for HPI Baja platforms, offering a metal alternative to typical plastic linkages. It is intended for steering and suspension linkage use, built to resist wear and keep steering geometry more stable under load.

Installation notes: remove the factory tie rod ends and fit the ball-link assembly, taking care to match left and right lengths and thread directions. Basic hand tools such as hex drivers and pliers are sufficient, and finish the setup with a motion check to confirm there is no binding. Discard and replace any damaged ball links rather than attempting repairs.

Tuning role: upgrading to steel tie rods reduces flex compared with plastic parts, helping steering alignment survive harder driving and allowing finer turnbuckle adjustments. This component is intended for hobby-level steering and suspension tuning on RC models only.

Use this steel tie rod to replace worn linkage parts or to add rigidity for more precise steering feedback; confirm fitment on your Baja chassis before final installation.

It is made for HPI Baja style chassis but you should check mechanical clearance at the steering knuckles and turnbuckles on your specific model before fitting.
Standard hex drivers and a pair of pliers are enough for most installs; use the correct driver sizes to protect threads and avoid damage.
Yes, steel reduces flex so you will notice firmer feedback and more consistent geometry when cornering or under heavy load.
Inspect ball joints and threads regularly for play or corrosion, tighten as needed and replace any parts showing wear to keep handling accurate.
