Tie rods recommendations?

[Deceased]

Hello!! I been running my car at my local hobby shop and someone my tie rods keep on bending. I do land here and there some bad landing on the wheel which might cause the bending. I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a different type of material? And not steel? Thanks!!
Prices doesn’t matter.

What car is this? The stock Arrma steel turnbuckles on the 3s line is just pure crap. I used to break and bend them all the time on my Typhon until I swapped in some Traxxas turnbuckles I haven't bent or broken one since. You could always buy the Arrma fixed plastic links if you want.

It’s for a granite. It’s the stock steel turnbuckle but I have traxxas 5525 end rods and steel arrma steel rod. So you recommend the traxxas one? If so can you provide the link please and thank you.

I went with titanium on my 3s now converted to 6s BR, but I think that company shut down due to the founder retiring... 1/10 scale?

Ah man are you talking about Lunsford something like that? I was thinking of getting those. Yes it’s a granite 1/10 scale.

I’m trying to find something strong. They keep on bending and it’s getting annoying.

Yes sir, they were it! I didn't buy spares or I'd send you some. All the force is now transmitted to the rod ends but easier to replace. Something's gotta give, right? Maybe you can find some NOS somewhere? NOS = New Old Stock to old school car guys like me.

And yeah, never bent one and I'm a terrible driver. BTW, they were not cheap, but worth every dollar.

I see it in stock on Lunsford website, but I don’t know it work with my wide stance that I have on my granite I have the rpm typhon A arms.

Be very, very careful, lot's of spoof sites out there. BTW, having Typhon A-arms with too short turnbuckles could be causing the bending issue.

I agree. So should I look into traxxas tie rods? For a better quality or strong ones than arrma?
