Improve Optima Mid Drivetrain Efficiency with OT260

For racers and hobbyists wanting cleaner power transfer, the Kyosho OT260 low friction belt reduces drive loss on the Optima Mid. The design lowers internal drag to help the drivetrain deliver torque more effectively. It is also compatible as an optional belt for Optima, Javelin and Turbo Optima variants.

Performance Impact

Fitting the OT260 can result in more consistent acceleration and improved ability to hold speed, since less energy is lost to belt friction. These gains are most evident when paired with an optimised motor and gearing setup.

Installation and Fitment Advice

The OT260 follows Kyosho Legendary Series dimensions and fits the Optima Mid chassis without significant modification. Installation is a routine belt swap for most users, and regular checks of alignment and tension will keep performance steady.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Can I use the OT260 in club races?

Yes, the OT260 can be used in club races subject to event rules. It is a drivetrain efficiency part rather than a change to motor or gearing, but always confirm with organisers.

How do I check for belt wear?

Inspect the belt for frayed edges, glazing or loss of tooth profile. Replace the belt if you notice uneven wear or slipping under load.

Should I change setup after installing the OT260?

Most users keep existing gearing, but small adjustments to throttle control or gear ratio can help tune acceleration and top speed when taking advantage of the lower friction belt.

Is the OT260 compatible with aftermarket belts and pulleys?

Compatibility depends on pulley size and tooth form. The OT260 works with Kyosho-correct pulleys and many aftermarket parts, but confirm dimensions before fitting.

What routine checks keep belt performance optimal?

Regularly check belt alignment, tension and pulley condition. Clean any debris from pulleys and replace the belt if you see signs of wear to maintain consistent drivetrain efficiency.
