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

Reinforced ball studs for chassis pivots

The GB-02/HD ball stud set is a heavy duty replacement aimed at the ball-stud locations on Tamiya GB-01 and GB-01T chassis. It provides a direct replacement path for factory studs that have worn or failed and improves the robustness of suspension and steering attachment points.

Fit reminder: verify that each stud seats correctly in the stock mounting hole, that threads engage without cross-threading, and that connected linkages articulate freely through their full travel. This kit is useful for regular upkeep, race day tuning, and preventing early stud failure.

Installation tips: remove old studs, clean the mating threads and holes, then hand-start the new studs to check alignment before final torque. Apply only moderate torque where studs locate into plastic mounts to avoid damage.

Handling impact: fitting sturdier ball studs reduces slack at suspension and steering pivots, helping the chassis preserve intended geometry under load and giving more predictable responses when settings change.
