The anodized light-blue aluminium shaft marked GT-03/LB is supplied as an aftermarket replacement for the TAMIYA GT-01 ball differential assembly. It is intended for technicians performing routine diff rebuilds or replacing worn shafts to restore correct mechanical alignment.
When integrated into a GT-01 ball-differential rebuild the shaft supports consistent endplay and preload checks and is compatible with the original diff internals. Use as part of a controlled rebuild workflow rather than as an isolated tuning element.
Fitment procedure: remove the differential housing, transfer bearings and balls as required, assemble using standard GT-01 ball-differential techniques, and verify endplay and preload values during final assembly to ensure predictable drivetrain behavior.
