Kyosho OL045 - Offset Rod End  [KY-OL045]

Offset rod end for tuning

This offset rod end is an RC-scale linkage component for use on the Outlaw Rampage PRO 2.0 truck series. It replaces or upgrades the terminal at a linkage rod to allow small changes to steering and suspension geometry while maintaining a compact connection point.

Compatibility: the part is intended for use with the Outlaw Rampage PRO 2.0 truck series; check your existing turnbuckle or linkage rod ends for thread pattern and length to confirm fit before installation.

Installation notes: remove the existing rod end from the linkage, thread the new offset rod end onto the turnbuckle or rod, confirm the orientation of the offset relative to the chassis, and secure using the original hardware. Make small adjustments and test steering return and suspension travel after each change.

Tuning role: an offset rod end changes the end-point position of a linkage without modifying the turnbuckle length dramatically, allowing fine control of toe, steering throw, and neutral alignment. Use it to incrementally alter steering feel or to correct minor geometry issues discovered during setup.

Maintenance: inspect for play at the joint and clean any grit that may enter the connection; replace worn rod ends promptly to avoid steering slop and inconsistent suspension response.
