Refined drivetrain option with Kyosho OTW149

For those tuning an OPTIMA Mid, the Kyosho OTW149 LW Gear Shaft offers a refined way to cut rotating weight while keeping strength. The lighter shaft helps the car pick up speed faster and reduces stress on the drivetrain under racing conditions.

Benefits that matter to racers

  • Compatibility: Tailored for the Kyosho OPTIMA Mid to ensure correct mounting and gear engagement.
  • Material: Engineered from quality material to balance lower weight with required toughness.
  • Functionality: Less rotational mass results in improved acceleration and more efficient power transfer.
  • Durability: Built to resist wear from frequent competitive running and practice sessions.
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.

Is specialist tuning required after fitting the OTW149?

No specialist tuning is normally required, but checking gear mesh and drivetrain alignment after installation is recommended.

How often should I inspect the shaft?

Inspect bearings and gear mesh after each hard event and perform routine checks every few runs to spot wear early.

Can this be part of a broader upgrade path?

Yes, pairing the OTW149 with high quality bearings and tuned gearing will maximise the benefits to acceleration and drivetrain efficiency.
