Bent tie rod

[MikeHenders]

I was just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with the tie rods bending really easy. I was moving along in 1st when my front tire caught a dirt wall it stopped me dead(razr2s front n rear) and bent my tie rod like a bow. It seemed to bend way to easy I was able to bend it a little with my bear hands so I could ride home. Is there any heavy duty tie rods out there. are they suppose to bent easy to stop from breaking anything else? Just wondering.

I bent mine the same way. I replaced them both with LSR tie rods.

Have some made, I found a local machine shop and had the good one copied and made 2 of them out of stainless instead.

have been perfect since

I even had that place make me newer ones for my lonestar race arms since lonestar gets 100$ for them cost me 10$ at a local metal shop.

Just my .02$

They are the stainless steel one's, not the standards that are that much. The standards will bend again fairly easy.

Your right, might mistake. I got the stainless ones but I paid 40 a piece, I was thinking 40 for both.
