Tamiya XV01 Spring Steel Completed Tie Rod by GPM XV160S  [XV160S]

Tamiya XV01 tie rod upgrade

This is an aftermarket spring steel completed tie rod set produced for the Tamiya XV01 platform by GPM, sold as a single set. It is an RC-scale steering link intended to replace the stock plastic or steel tie rods on XV01 chassis, providing a direct metal link between steering components and improving durability under routine use.

Fitment is specific to the XV01 family, so check that your car uses standard XV01 steering geometry before fitting. The completed tie rod design arrives pre-assembled for straightforward replacement of the existing links. Basic tools are required to remove the old links and secure the new set; check thread engagement and locknut seating during installation to retain alignment.

In tuning terms, upgrading to spring steel completed tie rods helps maintain consistent steering input and reduces the risk of deformation during repeated impacts or hard use, making them suitable for drivers focusing on reliable on-road handling and suspension response.
