Tamiya GB-01/GB-01T Ball Stud Set GB-02/HD Heavy Duty by 3Racing  [GB-02/HD]

Durable ball studs for pivot points

This GB-02/HD ball stud set serves as a heavy duty replacement for the ball-stud locations on Tamiya GB-01 and GB-01T chassis. It is offered as a direct swap to replace worn original studs and to provide a stronger mounting point for suspension and steering linkages.

Pre-fit checks: ensure each stud locates squarely in the stock hole, that threads engage smoothly, and that the associated linkage moves without obstruction through full travel. The set fits routine maintenance cycles and drivers who see premature wear on standard studs.

Fitting procedure: take out the old studs, clean the hole and thread contact areas, then hand-thread the replacements to verify alignment before final tightening. Avoid excessive torque on studs that locate into plastic parts.

Tuning benefit: upgrading to heavier duty studs reduces slack at pivot points, helping the chassis hold its geometry under load and making handling more repeatable when settings are changed.
