Aftermarket aluminium saver for Optima 2016

The JR-OT04 aluminium steering servo saver set is intended for the Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis and handles the steering linkage interface within the model. It replaces the original saver components with machined aluminium parts designed to occupy the Optima 2016 steering assembly and function as the sacrificial join between the servo and the steering bellcrank.

Installation uses the Optima 2016 saver mounting points and common steering hardware for a straightforward fit. During assembly verify alignment, confirm full-range movement of the saver, and ensure no interference with other linkages before final tightening of screws.

In tuning the saver represents a compromise: add preload or increase linkage stiffness for a more direct steering feel, or reduce preload to prioritise servo impact protection. Make controlled, incremental changes and validate the setup through test runs to achieve the desired behaviour.

What does this part replace on the chassis?

It replaces the stock saver components in the Optima 2016 steering assembly and is designed to fit the same mounting points and linkage layout.

Any special fitment checks required?

After fitting, confirm the saver moves freely across full lock, check linkage clearances, and verify steering geometry has not been altered by incorrect assembly.

How should I evaluate setup changes?

Adjust preload and linkage stiffness in small increments, then perform controlled test runs to observe steering response and servo load before committing to further changes.
