Machined aluminium bearing saver optimized for GB-01/GB-02

This component is a precision-machined aluminium steering saver designed for compatibility with Tamiya GB-01 and GB-02 chassis. The bearing-mounted interface and anodised light-blue finish improve steering predictability by reducing compliance in the saver joint while maintaining factory servo horn and mount positioning.

Installation follows the standard procedure: remove the original plastic saver, mount the aluminium unit to the factory attachment points, and ensure the bearing axis aligns with the steering linkage to eliminate axial play. The design preserves servo fitment and horn geometry for straightforward integration into stock or modified GB-01 and GB-02 layouts.

In race tuning the GB-12/V2 acts as a stiff intermediary between servo output and steering links, reducing hysteresis and improving repeatable wheel input under load. The part is intended for circuit-focused setups where predictable steering behaviour and minimal linkage flex are priorities.

How does this affect steering centroid feel?

The reduced compliance in the saver gives crisper centroid response and more consistent return-to-centre during high-load cornering.

Will it change steering throw or geometry?

No, the unit is designed to retain servo horn position and steering throw while improving the connection stiffness.

Recommended maintenance for track use?

Keep the bearing free of grit, apply light lubricant as needed, and inspect mounting hardware between sessions to maintain consistent performance.
