Race-focused aluminium rear arm for tuning consistency

The 3Racing GB-17/LB rear suspension arm provides a rigid, lightweight replace­ment for the Tamiya GB-01 and GB-01T chassis. Machined to tight tolerances, the alloy arm reduces compliance at the rear suspension pivots so setup changes produce repeatable on-track results. The light blue anodised finish adds corrosion protection while keeping the part identifiable during setup work.

Technical benefits for competitive setups

Using aluminium reduces elastic deformation seen in standard plastic arms, which improves roll centre stability and helps maintain consistent toe and camber under load. That stability allows finer shock and spring adjustments and aids drivers seeking predictable handling through fast sweepers and rapid direction changes.

Installation, fit, and tuning notes

The GB-17/LB matches OEM mounting points for straightforward installation with existing hinge pins and fasteners. For race preparation, inspect pivot fit and apply a thin film of low-viscosity grease to the hinge area to minimise stiction. After initial runs, remeasure toe and camber to confirm setup values remain within specification.

The arm is made from aluminium alloy and finished with an anodised coating. Manufacturing follows standard CNC and finishing processes to ensure consistent dimensions and surface protection.
Use the original Tamiya torque guidance for hinge pin fasteners where available. Avoid overtorquing which can induce stress concentrations in alloy parts; snug and check after initial runs is the preferred approach.
Because the arm reduces unwanted flex, shock and spring settings can feel more direct. Expect sharper responses to damping and spring rate changes, so adjust incrementally when refining setup for competition.
