Aluminum mounting upgrade for Optima 2016

The JR-OT14 aluminum battery mount is made for the Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis to deliver a firmer anchor point for the battery pack in the chassis bay. Its role is to ensure repeatable placement and mechanical stability without modifying electrical systems.

Installation replaces or upgrades the stock battery seating in the Optima 2016 battery zone. Align the plate to the chassis battery bay, secure it using the chassis' mounting bosses, and route battery leads away from screw heads and suspension components to prevent pinching.

From a tuning viewpoint, the more rigid mount reduces battery movement between runs, which aids consistent weight distribution and predictable handling when tweaking suspension or motor/ESC settings. Regular checks of screw torque and lead routing help avoid wear and ensure reliable operation.

Yes, fixing the battery more securely can make handling more consistent by keeping the mass in the same place from run to run, which helps tuning feedback.
Small variations in pack size may be managed with padding or spacers, but confirm clearance to the body and suspension before final installation.
Check that the plate is tight, leads are secured clear of moving parts, and the battery position is consistent; these steps lead to more repeatable lap times.
