KYOSHO Optima 2016 Rear Shock Mount Carbon - JR-OT11 by Jazrider  [JR-OT11]

Optima 2016 Rear Shock Mount

This RC carbon rear shock mount is designed for the KYOSHO Optima 2016 chassis and carries the JR-OT11 reference. It functions as the mounting plate for the rear shock absorbers and is intended as an aftermarket replacement to change mounting stiffness and shock geometry while leaving the shocks themselves unchanged.

Fit this mount to gain a lighter, stiffer attachment point for rear shocks and to experiment with handling balance; installation is straightforward but ensure the hole pattern lines up with the Optima 2016 chassis before tightening hardware. Carbon is noted here as the material family used to reduce mass and increase torsional stiffness in many RC upgrades.

Tuning with this mount requires treating it as part of the suspension package: small shifts in shock angle or mounting position will influence rear grip and rebound. Test on track and make gradual adjustments to preload, shock length, and damping until the car responds as needed.
