JR-OT02 Aluminum Front C-Hubs for KYOSHO Optima 2016

These machined aluminum front C-hubs are a direct replacement for the Optima 2016 front carriers, created to add stiffness and deliver a reliable mounting surface for the steering knuckle and wheel hub assembly. They provide a metal alternative to the OEM plastic parts for racers and hobbyists aiming for predictability.

Installation is standard: remove the original carriers, transfer bearings and any inserts, then secure the aluminum hubs using the existing mounting points and hardware. Typical 1/10 scale hex drivers and basic workshop tools are sufficient.

As a tuning item, machined C-hubs reduce front-end compliance which tightens steering response and helps maintain alignment under load. Use them to achieve repeatable front geometry during setup sessions or regular maintenance on an Optima 2016 1/10 4WD.

Are these designed specifically for the Optima 2016?

Yes, the JR-OT02 hubs are produced to match the Optima 2016 mounting pattern and fit with the model's original hardware.

Will I need new bearings to fit them?

No new bearings are typically required; the hubs are compatible with the same bearing sizes and shims used in the stock carriers.

What setup improvements can I expect?

You should notice reduced flex at the front suspension pick-up, firmer steering response, and more consistent toe settings under load—useful for both track tuning and everyday maintenance.
