Lightweight carbon shock stay for Optima 2016 chassis

This carbon front shock stay is offered as an aftermarket item for the KYOSHO Optima 2016 platform, identified as JR-OT10. It serves as a rigid top-mount for front dampers so tuners have a predictable pivot point when experimenting with geometry and valving.

The component targets durability and repeatable mounting: by reducing flex at the shock tops you maintain more consistent damper behavior over practice and race runs. Use it when fatigue or minor chassis flex has started to change your baseline shock feel on the Optima 2016.

Fitting is typical of 1/10-scale maintenance: remove the old stay, clean the chassis bosses, transfer or replace upper hardware as needed, and secure the new stay while aligning the shock tops. Standard hex drivers and a basic workshop setup are sufficient. Recheck fasteners after initial track use to ensure nothing has loosened.

The carbon material offers improved stiffness and good impact resistance for hobby racing; however, severe crashes can still crack or delaminate the part. Inspect after heavy impacts and replace if damaged.
Generally yes: carbon is stiffer and more wear resistant than many stock plastics, so it tends to hold geometry longer. Longevity depends on crash exposure and maintenance practices.
Routine cleaning and inspection are sufficient. Avoid solvents that attack resin and replace the stay if you detect cracks, significant delamination, or softened resin at impact points.
