Tamiya TT01 Alloy Steering Tie Rod by GPM TT049  [TT049]

This alloy steering tie rod is an aftermarket replacement designed for the Tamiya TT01 platform, supplied by GPM as model TT049. It replaces the stock steering linkage to offer a more durable metal alternative to common plastic parts, and it is supplied with the necessary mounting screws for fitment.

Use this part when you need improved linkage rigidity or when repairing worn steering connections on your 1/10 scale TT01 electric touring car. The alloy construction provides resistance to everyday wear from frequent steering inputs and track use while remaining compatible with the original steering geometry of the TT01 chassis.

Installation is straightforward: remove the original tie rod from the steering knuckles and servo horn, fit the alloy rod in the same mounting locations, and secure with the supplied screws. Check thread engagement and steering throw after assembly, and perform incremental adjustments to avoid over-tightening which can affect steering feel.

For tuning, the tie rod serves as a point to alter effective steering toe or trim through small length adjustments at the ball joints or rod ends, helping you fine-tune turn-in and mid-corner responsiveness without changing upstream components like the servo or suspension setup.
