Precision aluminium swing shaft GB-03/LB

The GB-03/LB aluminium swing shaft is supplied with a light-blue anodised finish and engineered for use in the TAMIYA GB-01 and GB-01T swing assemblies that follow the original shaft architecture. 3Racing produces this part as a drop-in scale replacement for routine maintenance and incremental upgrades.

Functionally, the shaft provides a rigid aluminium pivot at suspension and driveline interfaces to reduce deformation under load compared with softer stock components. It is intended to be installed into the model's existing hubs and carriers without structural modification to preserve OEM geometry.

Service and installation: perform an initial trial fit to confirm alignment and full suspension travel, apply a thin film of suitable lubricant to bearing and sliding contacts, and torque retaining fasteners to recommended values. Replace worn bearings and inspect mating hardware during the service interval to ensure long term reliability.

Application notes: this precision shaft aids consistent pivot positioning and supports stepwise upgrade strategies on GB-01/GB-01T builds, combining practical durability with a controlled anodised finish.

What tolerances should I expect from GB-03/LB?

GB-03/LB is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances suitable for direct fit into stock GB-01/GB-01T carriers; check runout on replacement to confirm concentricity during installation.

Any special lubrication for high rpm use?

For high-speed or high-load applications use a light synthetic oil or low-viscosity bearing lubricant to reduce drag while maintaining protection; avoid heavy greases that trap debris.

Recommended inspection intervals?

Inspect the shaft and surrounding bearings after the first few runs following installation, then as part of regular maintenance intervals or after exposure to water, grit, or heavy impacts.
