An RC-scale upgrade made for the Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis, this carbon front plate replaces the original with a stiffer carbon panel to alter front-end rigidity and tuning response while keeping the vehicle scale and drivetrain unchanged.
Compatibility covers the Optima 2016 family; proper fit depends on the stock front mounting points. Installation needs basic modelling tools and experience removing and reinstalling the factory front plate using the existing chassis fixings.
For setup work, the carbon plate increases front bulkhead stiffness which often yields crisper steering and a more consistent suspension geometry under load. Test and tweak toe and spring rates after fitting to dial in handling on your circuit.
