GB-01/GB-01T Steering Saver Aluminium Bearing Upgrade for Tamiya GB-12/LB by 3Racing  [GB-12/LB]

Drop-in aluminium steering saver for GB-01/GB-01T

This steering saver fits Tamiya GB-01/GB-01T chassis as a direct replacement, combining an aluminium body with integrated ball bearings to reduce steering loads. It is aimed at drivers who run on-road or drift setups and want to lower the risk of servo or linkage damage from impacts and repeated steering inputs.

Functionally it offers protection and a tuning benefit: placing bearings at the steering pivot and using a stiffer aluminium housing reduces the flex of the OEM plastic saver, giving steadier steering response without changing suspension geometry. It is a modest upgrade for racers and enthusiasts seeking improved component longevity and a crisper steering feel on 1/10 scale Tamiya models.

Fitting is straightforward on compatible GB-01/GB-01T assemblies, replacing the factory saver and using existing mounting points. When installing, align bearings correctly and tighten fasteners evenly to avoid binding. Regular checks of bearings and fixing hardware after track use will help keep operation smooth.
