Component description and intended use

The JR-OT08 aluminium front upper pivot is made for Kyosho Optima 2016 and fits at the top of the front suspension upright as a single replacement part. It provides a harder wearing pivot surface compared with common plastic originals.

Compatibility is focused on Kyosho Optima 2016; verify measurements if you plan to use this pivot on a different model. Treat the part as an aftermarket spare or hop-up for maintaining or upgrading front suspension assemblies.

Fitting procedure: remove the wheel and steering linkages as required, separate the upright from the suspension arm and remove the existing pivot, fit the JR-OT08 aluminium pivot, then reassemble and check steering geometry and free suspension movement. There are no torque values or a hardware list in this description; check the seller listing to confirm whether screws or bearings are provided.

Performance note: swapping to an aluminium pivot like JR-OT08 will help reduce interface wear and aid alignment retention under load, supporting steadier steering feel and more predictable suspension behaviour during use.

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

Is JR-OT08 suitable for competitive use?

JR-OT08 is an aftermarket aluminium hop-up that improves wear resistance and alignment retention; it can be used in club-level competition but check class rules if parts restrictions apply.

Do I need to buy extra parts to fit this pivot?

Possibly. Hardware and bearings are not guaranteed included; inspect the product listing or contact the seller to confirm whether screws or additional components are supplied with JR-OT08.
