This aluminium rear radio post is an aftermarket replacement part for the Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis, identified as JR-OT07B. It provides the rear fixing point for the receiver and radio equipment, giving a rigid anchor that reduces component movement under load and improves long-term connection stability.
Installation reuses the chassis radio tray or rear bulkhead fasteners; the aluminium post replaces the OEM plastic item to deliver a firmer mounting surface. Confirm hole alignment and secure wiring to keep antenna and power leads clear of suspension arms and drivetrain components.
From a practical perspective the part improves serviceability and reliability more than handling; a stable radio platform reduces intermittent faults and helps maintain consistent electronics placement for repeatable setup and diagnostics.
