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

Heavy duty replacement ball studs

This 3Racing GB-02/HD ball stud set is a heavy duty replacement intended for Tamiya GB-01 and GB-01T RC chassis ball-stud locations. It is offered as a direct swap option to address wear or breakage of factory ball studs and to provide a more robust connection point for suspension and steering linkages.

Focus when fitting: confirm each stud seats cleanly in the stock mounting hole, thread engagement is secure, and related linkage hardware moves freely through its full travel. The set is suited for routine maintenance, track tuning sessions, and any situation where stock ball studs have shown premature wear.

Installation notes: remove the old ball studs, clean mating threads and holes, and hand-start the replacement studs to check alignment before final tightening. Avoid overtightening threads that locate into plastic components; use moderate torque and verify smooth articulation of the connected linkage.

Tuning role: upgrading to heavy duty ball studs reduces play at suspension and steering pivots, helping the chassis maintain consistent geometry under load. This supports predictable handling during setup changes without altering suspension geometry itself.
