This is an RC-scale aluminum universal swing drive shaft set intended for Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis maintenance and tuning. The components replace the stock swing drive shafts to provide a durable aluminum option within the drivetrain where the swing drive connects gearbox output to the wheels.
Use this set when you need a direct replacement for worn swing drive pieces or when adjusting drivetrain backlash and alignment during setup. The aluminum construction offers consistent dimensional stability compared with softer materials, and the parts are intended to work with the Optima 2016 swing drive geometry as a like-for-like service or hop-up part.
Installation notes: check shaft fit with the gearbox output and CVD/universal joints before final assembly, ensure grub screws or retaining clips are torqued to the chassis maker’s recommended values, and confirm clearance with suspension travel and wheel hubs. After installation, verify smooth rotation at static and under load to detect binding before full-speed testing. This description refers only to RC model use.
