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

Durable steering saver for GB-01/GB-01T

This aluminium steering saver is a drop-in replacement for Tamiya GB-01/GB-01T chassis, marrying an aluminium shell with ball-bearing support to reduce steering stress. It is aimed at on-road and drift drivers who want to protect the servo and linkage from impact loads and heavy steering use.

Its role is protective and performance-oriented: bearings at the pivot and a stiffer aluminium body cut down on the flex of the stock plastic saver, delivering a firmer and more predictable steering feel while leaving suspension geometry unchanged. It makes a sensible, serviceable upgrade for hobbyists and club competitors running 1/10 Tamiya touring or drift cars.

Fitting is straightforward on compatible GB-01/GB-01T setups, swapping out the plastic saver and using the original mounting points. During installation, confirm bearing alignment and torque screws evenly to avoid any steering bind. Inspect the bearings and fasteners after sessions to ensure continued smooth performance.
