Carbon Plate Upgrade for Optima Mid Chassis

Hobby drivers looking to tidy up chassis behaviour will appreciate the Kyosho OTW138 Carbon Plate Set. Produced from 2.5mm carbon fiber, this plate reduces flex in the Optima Mid chassis so handling becomes more consistent lap after lap. The construction keeps weight low while adding the rigidity needed for finer setup adjustments at the track.

Specifications

  • Material: 2.5mm Carbon Fiber
  • Compatibility: Kyosho Optima Mid
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Does the plate affect tyre wear or traction?

By firming the chassis, the plate can change load transfer which may alter how tyres wear. It often helps keep consistent contact, which can improve traction in tight corners.

How long does fitting take?

A competent builder can fit the plate in a short workshop session using common hand tools. Time depends on whether you remove other components to access mounting points.

Is the plate durable for club racing?

The 2.5mm carbon construction is robust for regular club use. Normal impacts may leave marks but the plate is built to resist routine racing stresses.

Will this change my spring or damper setup?

Stiffer chassis behaviour can affect suspension feel, so you may want to tweak springs or dampers to rebalance handling after fitting the plate.
