Aftermarket aluminium battery mount for Optima 2016

The JR-OT14 battery mount is an aftermarket aluminium plate designed for the Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis to offer a stable platform for securing the battery pack inside the chassis bay. It is intended to improve repeatable battery placement and mechanical stability rather than change electrical or motor systems.

Installation replaces the original battery seating area on the Optima 2016 chassis. Fit the plate by aligning it to the battery bay, fastening to the existing chassis attachment points, and routing battery leads to avoid pinch points and rubbing with surrounding components.

In practice, using an aluminium mount delivers a firmer anchor than molded holders, helping keep battery position consistent between runs and aiding predictable handling when making suspension or motor/ESC changes. Regular checks of fastener torque and cable clearance will help maintain reliable performance.

What should I check before fitting JR-OT14?

Confirm that the plate aligns with the Optima 2016 battery bay dimensions, check for any obstructions, and ensure wiring can be routed clear of moving parts.

How does this aftermarket plate affect maintenance?

Routine maintenance is unchanged: periodically verify screw tightness and inspect for wear where the pack contacts the plate to prevent abrasion.

Is special hardware required to install this part?

The product typically uses the chassis' existing fasteners; if replacements are needed, choose screws that match the thread and length requirements for secure attachment.
