GPM Racing Aluminium 6061-T6 Adjustable Tie Rods for Traxxas 1/18 TRX-4M (TRX4M160)

Technical overview of adjustable aluminium tie rods

This adjustable tie rod assembly is engineered for the TRAXXAS TRX4M FORD BRONCO platform and provides serviceable, tunable link lengths for both axles. Forged from aluminium 6061-T6 and combined with nylon ball ends, the design prioritises fatigue resistance and reduced reciprocating mass while retaining reliable joint performance across varied terrain.

Length changes are performed via the positioning hole and the opposing thread arrangement, allowing calibrated increments for toe correction and steering alignment. The construction supports precise setup during competition-style tuning and routine maintenance on 1/18 TRX4M vehicles.

Packing includes

• Tie rod – 8pcs

Original Name / Part No:

9742R+9749

Compatible Models

• TRAXXAS-1/18 4WD TRX4M FORD BRONCO-97074-1

As a precision upgrade and replacement set, these adjustable rods enable repeatable geometry adjustments and accurate restoration of link lengths following service cycles.

What tolerances should I expect from the threaded adjustment?

Threaded adjustment provides fine incremental control; expect sub-millimetre changes per rotation depending on thread pitch, suitable for precise toe and steering centring work.

How do nylon ball ends affect joint life?

Nylon ball ends offer good wear resistance and reduced metal-on-metal contact; monitor for deformation and replace if excessive play appears to maintain alignment accuracy.

Are these suitable for competition tuning?

Yes, the parts are intended for fine steering geometry adjustments common in competitive setups, and the 6061-T6 aluminium body balances stiffness with serviceability for repeated tuning. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
