FAQ

Refine Your Optima Pro with the Kyosho OTW157 Carbon Plate

The Kyosho OTW157 Carbon Radio Plate replaces the factory injection moulded tray on the Optima Pro, offering a stiffer base for mounting electronics. Its carbon composition improves structural support while keeping a slim profile beneath the chassis.

How Carbon Affects Handling

A stiff radio plate reduces chassis twist and can produce a crisper handling feel under cornering and acceleration. The visual finish also complements tuned setups and detail builds.

Practical Installation Tips

Install the Kyosho OTW157 by aligning mounting holes and tightening screws progressively to maintain even pressure. Check antenna placement and inner clearances after fitting to prevent interference during use.

Who Should Fit This Plate

Made for Optima Pro models, this radio plate is aimed at hobbyists who want a straightforward upgrade to chassis stiffness without major modifications. It works well for club racing and display-quality models.

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.

Will the Kyosho OTW157 change the car handling noticeably?

You should notice reduced flex and a firmer chassis response, which can translate to more predictable handling. The exact change depends on other setup choices like shocks and tyre selection.

How should I maintain carbon parts like this plate?

Wipe carbon parts with a damp cloth to remove dirt and inspect mounting points regularly. Periodic checks of the screws and surrounding components keep the plate performing as intended.
