Tamiya GB-01/GB-01T Ball Stud Upgrade GB-02/HD by 3Racing  [GB-02/HD]

Heavy duty pivot stud upgrade

This GB-02/HD ball stud set is provided as a heavy duty replacement for the ball-stud positions used on Tamiya GB-01 and GB-01T chassis. It replaces worn or broken factory studs and gives a firmer connection for steering and suspension linkages.

Fitting advice: make sure each stud sits squarely in the stock hole, that threads draw in smoothly, and that any connected linkage can move through full travel without binding. The set is suitable for maintenance between events and for drivers wanting more durable pivot points.

How to install: extract the old studs, clean the thread paths and mounting holes, then hand-start the new studs to confirm alignment before final tightening. Take care not to over-torque parts that thread into plastic components.

Setup note: stronger studs cut down on unwanted play at pivots so steering geometry stays stable under load, which helps during tuning and lap-to-lap consistency.
