This JR-OT04 aluminum steering servo saver set is made for the Kyosho Optima 2016 chassis and focuses on the steering linkage role in the model. It replaces the factory saver components with machined aluminum parts intended to sit in the Optima 2016 steering assembly and act as the sacrificial interface between the servo and the steering bellcrank.
Installation is straightforward for the Optima 2016 steering layout, using the existing saver mounting locations and standard steering hardware. Inspect fitment and alignment during install, confirm free movement through the full steering throw, and check for any interference with linkages before final tightening.
During setup the servo saver is a tradeoff between protection and steering directness: increase preload or stiffen linkage settings for a tighter steering feel, or allow more compliance to protect the servo from impacts. Make small adjustments and run test laps to dial in the balance for your driving surface and style.
