Carbon front shock stay for Optima 2016
This carbon front shock stay is an RC-scale replacement part for the Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis, supplied by JAZRIDER as JR-OT10. It is intended to provide a stiff, stable mounting point for the front shocks so builders and racers can fine-tune shock geometry and front-end behavior without implying any real vehicle application.
Designed for hobby use, the stay focuses on the role of shock positioning in suspension setup: changing mounting locations and stiffness at the shock top affects shock angle, travel progression, and front roll response. Use this part when you want a consistent, rigid anchor for routine setup work, shock testing, or when experimenting with different shock lengths and spring rates on the Optima 2016 platform.
Installation is straightforward for someone familiar with 1/10-scale touring or buggy maintenance: remove the existing shock stay, verify the chassis mounting points are clean and undamaged, transfer factory or compatible hardware, and mount the new stay aligning the upper shock mounts. Typical workshop tools such as hex drivers are required. No special tooling or adhesives are necessary, and routine checks of fastener tightness are recommended after initial runs.
When tuning, treat the stay as part of the shock linkage system: small changes to upper mounting width or fore/aft position can alter handling balance. Use iterative testing on the track to assess changes, and combine adjustments here with damper, spring, and anti-roll settings for cohesive setup changes.
