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.
