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

Designed as a precision upgrade for Tamiya GB-01/GB-01T platforms, this saver uses an aluminium housing and integrated ball bearings to minimise pivot friction and reduce applied loads to the servo. The assembly is intended to increase durability and maintain consistent steering inputs under high demand conditions.

From a setup perspective the unit provides a rigid mounting point at the steering pivot while preserving original geometry. Bearings locate the rotating interface and the aluminium body resists deformation, delivering predictable steering response and reduced component stress compared with flexible plastic savers.

Installation is a direct swap into compatible GB-01/GB-01T saver locations. Ensure bearings are correctly seated, secure fasteners to specified torque in even stages, and confirm free steering travel before regular use. Routine inspection of bearing play and mounting integrity is advised after competitive sessions.

What are the main benefits of this aluminium saver?

Reduced saver flex, lower pivot friction from bearings, and decreased load transmitted to the servo for longer component life and more consistent steering performance.

Does it require setup changes?

No changes to steering geometry are required; however, small adjustments to steering endpoint or trim may be used to fine tune feel after installation.

Recommended maintenance routine?

Inspect bearings for smooth rotation, check for axial play, and verify mounting fasteners after each event. Replace bearings if play or roughness is detected.
