Aluminium swing drive kit for Optima 2016 maintenance

This aluminium universal swing drive shaft set is intended for Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis maintenance and tuning, replacing stock swing drive pieces with more stable aluminium parts that transfer gearbox output to the wheels.

The JR-OT06 set serves as a direct replacement for worn components or as a hop-up when adjusting drivetrain backlash and alignment. Aluminium provides consistent dimensional stability compared with softer materials and is intended to fit the Optima 2016 swing drive geometry.

Installation guidance: check shaft fit with the gearbox output and CVD or universal joints before final assembly, ensure grub screws or retaining clips are torqued to the chassis manufacturer's recommended values, and confirm clearance with suspension travel and wheel hubs. After installation, verify smooth rotation at static and under load to detect binding before full-speed testing. This description refers only to RC model use.

The kit is listed for Optima 2016 compatibility; verify dimensions or consult the parts diagram to ensure it matches your vehicle before ordering.
Standard RC hand tools, including hex drivers and pliers, are typically sufficient. Use the correct driver sizes for grub screws and retainers to avoid rounding fasteners.
Inspect related bearings, joints, and hubs for wear; replacing worn parts when fitting new shafts helps maintain reliable performance and prevents premature wear on the new components.
