Refine Your Tamiya GT-01 Suspension Joints

For hobbyists wanting better response from their Tamiya GT-01, the Tamiya 40541 - GT-01 4mm Long Aluminum Ball Connector Set is a straightforward upgrade. These aluminum connectors replace standard plastic parts to boost durability while trimming a small amount of weight for crisper handling.

Benefits of Aluminum Ball Connectors

Fitting aluminum ball connectors reduces flex at key linkage points and sharpens steering feedback. The stiffer metal connections help the suspension keep geometry under load, which matters during spirited driving or club races. This upgrade lets tuners improve control without changing the chassis layout.

Fitment and Installation Notes

Made for the GT-01 chassis, these connectors fit into the factory linkage locations and use the same fasteners. Installation is quick with basic hand tools, so both experienced builders and newcomers can fit them with minimal fuss.

Can I use these on other Tamiya models?

They are designed around GT-01 geometry and will fit where GT-01 style ball cups are used. Some cross fitment may be possible but check dimensions before fitting.

Do aluminum connectors change ride height?

The 4mm long design does not alter ride height. Any handling change comes from reduced play and a slight reduction in rotating mass at the linkage points.

How should I maintain them?

Check for wear at the ball seats, keep threads tight, and wipe away grit after dusty runs. Replace if you notice scoring or deformation.
