Kyosho OTW136 Carbon Front Shock Tower for Optima Mid - Race Grade  [KY-OTW136]

Lightweight 3mm Carbon Front Shock Tower by Kyosho OTW136

The Kyosho OTW136 Carbon Fiber Front Shock Tower is an upgrade developed for the Optima Mid platform. Built from 3mm carbon fiber, this tower increases structural strength while trimming weight compared to stock FRP parts, making it a solid choice for racers who need tougher, more consistent suspension geometry.

Benefits of Carbon Over FRP for Track Use

Carbon fiber delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio that improves chassis response and reduces flex during hard cornering. Fitting the Kyosho OTW136 helps sharpen handling and enhances shock performance without adding unnecessary mass, which is useful when tuning for more precise lap times.

Fitting Advice for Reliable Performance

When fitting the Kyosho OTW136, torque fasteners evenly and use the correct spacing hardware to avoid stress concentrations. Check mount points after initial runs and pair the tower with quality dampers for clearer feedback and improved handling consistency.
