Performance-Focused Ball Connector for GB-01

The Tamiya 40520 Aluminum Ball Connector King Pin swaps in as a lighter alternative to traditional brass connectors on the GB-01 chassis. It trims weight at critical pivot points, which helps the car respond faster to steering inputs during club races or casual sessions. The pink anodised finish also provides a neat protective coat while adding a custom look.

Handling Gains from Lower Mass

Using aluminium at steering and suspension contact points reduces unsprung and rotating mass, which can improve agility and responsiveness. Many hobbyists choose aluminium connectors when tuning for sharper handling on varied surfaces.

Stylish, Practical Surface Protection

The bright pink anodised surface resists corrosion and hides light scuffs from everyday use. The Tamiya 40520 balances visual appeal with functional protection so your parts stay serviceable longer.

Fitting the lighter aluminium connector can make steering feel crisper due to reduced weight at the pivot. It is a subtle change but noticeable to drivers tuning for responsiveness.
Common follow-ups include reviewing steering linkages and hub hardware to ensure matched geometry and fit. Upgrading related fasteners to quality hardware can help maintain reliable operation.
Clean with mild soap and water after muddy runs and avoid abrasive cleaners. Store the car in a dry place to prevent corrosion at mating surfaces.
