Precision Carbon Upper Deck for Optima Mid

The Kyosho OTW141 Carbon Upper Deck is an engineered replacement for the Optima Mid's standard FRP top plate. Manufactured from quality carbon fibre and CNC machined to 2mm, this component raises chassis stiffness while lowering mass. The weight reduction of approximately 5 grams makes a measurable difference for fine-tuned handling and control in race environments.

Features and Fitment

  • Material: High-quality carbon fibre for increased stiffness and longevity
  • Thickness: 2mm precision machining to preserve desirable flex characteristics
  • Weight Advantage: Around 5 grams lighter than the FRP alternative, aiding nimbleness
  • Compatibility: Specifically shaped for Kyosho Optima Mid chassis to ensure direct replacement

For enthusiasts focused on setup refinement and on-track consistency, the Kyosho OTW141 Carbon Upper Deck offers a reliable way to shave mass without compromising structural performance.
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.

How does this change chassis balance?

The reduced mass at the top can shift weight distribution slightly and tighten turn-in. Small adjustments to ride height or damping usually bring balance back to preference.

Are there recommended setup tweaks after fitting?

Common tweaks include softening rear damping or adjusting anti-roll bias to compensate for the increased top deck stiffness and altered roll behavior.

Will this affect durability in crashes?

Carbon is strong but can crack under high impact. It generally lasts longer than FRP in normal use but check for damage after heavy knocks and replace if cracked.

Is installation reversible?

Yes. The OTW141 installs using existing screws and can be swapped back to the original deck if needed without permanent changes to the chassis.
