Lightweight Ball Connector Upgrade for GB-01

The Tamiya 40520 Aluminum Ball Connector King Pin gives GB-01 builders a simple way to trim weight without losing strength. This aluminum replacement for traditional brass connectors cuts mass at the steering pivot and keeps your setup reliable during spirited track sessions or weekend bashing. The pink anodized coating adds visual flair while helping protect the part from routine wear.

Aluminum Benefits for Better Steering Response

Aluminum parts are sought after because they reduce unsprung and rotating weight, letting the car react quicker to inputs. Swapping brass for aluminum on pivot points can sharpen acceleration and steering feel, helping drivers who chase tighter lap times or crisper handling.

Durable Finish That Stands Out

The pink anodised surface of the Tamiya 40520 not only improves aesthetics but also provides a corrosion-resistant layer that handles dirt and light impacts. It keeps the connector looking good while maintaining fit and function through routine use.

Yes, this connector is made for the GB-01 geometry. If you use different hubs or steering blocks, double-check thread size and ball dimensions before fitting.
Aluminum reduces weight while remaining strong for normal track and hobby use. It can be more prone to cosmetic marks than brass, but the anodised layer helps guard against corrosion and scratches.
Use basic hand tools and inspect mating surfaces for burrs. Light thread locker can help retain fasteners on high-vibration setups, and check tightness after the first run.
