Tuning-oriented aluminium swing drives for Optima 2016

This RC-scale aluminium universal swing drive shaft set is specified for Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis tuning and maintenance. The kit replaces original swing drives with aluminium parts aimed at improving consistency where the gearbox output meets the wheels.

Choose the JR-OT06 set when adjusting drivetrain backlash, alignment, or when upgrading components to achieve tighter running tolerances. Aluminium construction keeps dimensions stable compared with softer materials and is intended as a direct-fit service or hop-up option that respects the Optima 2016 swing drive geometry.

Setup advice: check shaft fit against the gearbox output and CVD or universal joints before completing assembly, secure grub screws or retaining clips to the torque values recommended by the chassis manufacturer, and verify adequate clearance during suspension travel. After installation, test rotation at idle and under modest load to check for binding before full-throttle runs. This description is intended for RC model use only.

Using rigid aluminium shafts can reduce play in the driveline; fine-tune pinion and spur mesh and check differential preload to balance backlash across the system.
After fitment, recheck drive engagement and wheel alignment; small adjustments to hub spacing or shim stacks may be needed to maintain clearance and suspension travel.
They can make driveline response feel more consistent due to reduced material flex, but overall handling also depends on tyres, suspension setup, and drivetrain condition.
