The JR-OT08 aluminium front upper pivot is a replacement component for Kyosho Optima 2016, acting as the upper connection on the front suspension upright. Supplied as a single aluminium pivot, it replaces stock plastic pivots to provide a firmer mounting interface.
This item is specified for Kyosho Optima 2016; confirm compatibility with your chassis before buying. Treat it as an aftermarket spare or hop-up rather than OEM equipment.
Basic installation: take off the front wheel and any steering linkages, detach the upright from the suspension arm and remove the old pivot, fit the JR-OT08 aluminium pivot, then reassemble and check that steering movement and suspension travel are correct. No torque settings or a hardware list are provided here, so check the seller listing for included screws or required fasteners.
Tuning benefits: replacing a worn plastic pivot with an aluminium JR-OT08 can keep alignment steadier under load and slow pivot wear, resulting in more repeatable steering response during club events or practice sessions.
