ARRMA 1/5 Kraton/Outcast 4140 Carbon Steel Front Steering Tie Rod by GPM MAKX162S/V2  [MAKX162S/V2]

Front steering tie rod overview

This is an RC-scale front steering tie rod assembly manufactured by GPM for ARRMA 1/5 Kraton and Outcast platforms, supplied under model MAKX162S/V2. The kit uses 4140 carbon steel with an 8mm main link thickness and offers center-to-center length adjustment from 163mm to 168mm. All included hardware arrives pre-assembled; the manufacturer recommends medium-strength thread locker on fasteners to reduce loosening under hard use.

Functionally this part replaces the factory steering linkage grouping listed under the original part numbers provided below. The adjustable rod ends allow fine tuning of toe and steering geometry without modifying the steering knuckles or hubs, and the steel construction is intended for standard RC impact and wear scenarios rather than any full-scale application.

Use this tie rod to replace the matched factory linkage set when you need a steel, adjustable option; verify fit with the compatible models list and re-apply thread locker as recommended after final alignment checks.
