Slash 2WD Short Course Tie Rods for TRAXXAS SLA2W160ST by GPM  [SLA2W160ST]

Slash 2WD spring-steel tie rod overview

A matched set of spring-steel adjustable tie rods made for 1/10 short course Slash 2WD cars, designed as direct steering linkage replacements to stabilize toe and sharpen steering feedback under load. The focus is on tough material selection and straightforward length adjustment rather than cosmetic styling.

Material and function: these tie rods use spring steel to resist fatigue and recover from bending, with thicker cross sections where steering forces and impacts concentrate to boost rigidity. Turnbuckle-style adjusters allow fast tuning of toe-in and toe-out during setup or after repairs.

Installation and tuning: the rods replace stock linkages on compatible Slash 2WD short course setups, using standard thread-in adjustment and lock nut retention to keep length stable under vibration. Changing rod length shifts static toe and helps dial corner entry and straight-line stability; check servo horn and steering block clearances after fitting and recheck wheel alignment at ride height.

Included hardware: the kit supplies dedicated fasteners and lock nuts to assemble the linkage without sourcing extra small parts. Confirm each threaded joint is fully engaged and secure lock nuts after adjustment.

For short course Slash 2WD owners who want a simple, tougher steering linkage, these spring-steel adjustable tie rods balance durability with quick tuning access while remaining an aftermarket replacement part.
