Simple Aluminium Upgrade for Everyday Reliability

The JAZRIDER JR-OT08 Aluminum Front Upper Pivot is a direct, no fuss replacement for the Kyosho Optima 2016 factory pivot. Purpose made from aluminium to resist wear, this part reduces common failure points and gives a dependable mounting surface for routine use.

Consistent Steering with Minimal Maintenance

Swapping to the aluminium pivot reduces flex and keeps steering geometry stable over time. That stability lowers the need for frequent adjustments and makes day to day running and setup simpler for hobbyists.

Fitment Details and User Notes

Made to suit the Kyosho Optima 2016 mounting pattern, the JR-OT08 installs using standard fixings. Check torque after the first few runs and periodically thereafter. Inspect mating surfaces for wear and replace associated bushings if play is detected.

Fits perfect and looks nice, but one has some different engraving on it while the other is smooth.

As listed fast service would deal with again

How long before I should check the new pivot?

Verify screw tightness and check for any play after the first few runs, then include the pivot in regular inspections every few sessions.

Are there any fitment traps to watch for?

Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of burrs before fitting. If you reuse old hardware, confirm threads are not damaged to avoid improper clamping.

What routine care keeps this part lasting?

Keep the area clear of grit, inspect for wear, and lightly lubricate metal contact points if running in wet or salty conditions. Replace worn bushings promptly to prevent accelerated wear.
