Precision gearing for OPTIMA - Kyosho OT221B

Owners of the Kyosho OPTIMA will find the OT221B gear set a straightforward replacement when original gears show wear. Built to align with OPTIMA mounting, this set helps preserve drivetrain consistency during club runs and local events.

Where it works best

The Kyosho OT221B suits the OPTIMA family and offers a snug mesh to reduce gear lash. It is a good choice for hobbyists who want reliable, predictable gearing for regular practice and light competition.

Fitting advice for smooth operation

Install the OT221B on a clean chassis and use standard RC maintenance tools. Verify gear mesh and bearings after fitting, and apply recommended light lubrication to reduce friction and wear.

Can I replace the original gears with the Kyosho OT221B myself?

Yes, a typical hobbyist with basic tools can swap the gears. Follow standard disassembly steps and keep parts organised during the job.

Does the gear set need break-in?

A short run at low speed after installation helps bedding. Check for unusual noise and recheck mesh after the first run.

Are special lubricants recommended?

Use a light gear lubricant suitable for RC drivetrains. Avoid heavy greases that can attract grit and accelerate wear.

Should I replace bearings when fitting new gears?

Inspect bearings for play. Replace any with noticeable wear to ensure the new gears run true and last longer.
