Tamiya CW-01 (Lunch Box) Aluminium Anti-thread Steering Tie Rod with Servo Horn by GPM LB160TM  [LB160TM]

Aluminium steering tie rod for CW-01

This is an aluminium steering tie rod set designed for the Tamiya CW-01 (Lunch Box) RC chassis, supplied by GPM as model LB160TM. The part combines an anti-thread design with an included servo horn to provide a direct replacement for the stock steering linkages on the CW-01 platform.

Intended use is strictly RC-scale: the component is made to interface with CW-01 steering assemblies and standard hobby servos. The aluminium construction aims to offer a stiffer, more predictable linkage compared with basic plastic parts, while the anti-thread feature helps keep adjustment points from loosening during runs.

Installation notes: the tie rod is fitted between the steering bellcrank and the servo horn; verify spline fit on your servo and align travel limits before final tightening. Use appropriate hobby-grade fasteners and thread-lock where metal-to-metal contact may back off from vibration. No special tools are included or required beyond common RC workshop tools.

Tuning role: this upgrade is intended to refine steering feel and reduce slop in the linkages, which can make steering response and cornering more consistent. When tuning, combine this part with correct servo endpoints and trim adjustments rather than increasing throw beyond safe limits for the chassis.
