Refine GB-01 Steering with Tamiya 40520

The Tamiya 40520 Aluminum Ball Connector King Pin is designed as a direct-fit aluminium alternative to heavier brass connectors on the GB-01 chassis. By lowering mass at the steering pivot, the part helps the model feel more responsive on tight tracks and technical circuits. The distinctive pink anodised finish makes the upgrade both functional and eye-catching.

Why Fit Aluminium at Pivot Points?

Replacing brass with aluminium can reduce the overall weight burden on the chassis, improving throttle response and cornering agility. Enthusiasts favour aluminium where nimble handling matters, especially in competitive or precision driving situations.

Protective Anodised Coating

The pink anodised layer on the Tamiya 40520 serves as a protective barrier against corrosion and everyday wear. The finish helps preserve the connector under regular use while giving your car a customised look.

This part is tailored for the GB-01 chassis. It may fit assemblies with similar ball and thread dimensions, but confirm compatibility against those specific parts first.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh solvents that can dull the anodised surface. Regular inspection for burrs and secure fastenings will extend service life.
Yes, swapping ball connectors is a straightforward upgrade. Basic tools and a careful approach are all that is required to fit the Tamiya 40520 correctly.
