Add Crisp Steering to Your OPTIMA Mid

The Kyosho OTW143 Aluminium HD Steering Link Set upgrades the OPTIMA Mid steering assembly by replacing flex-prone nylon with a solid aluminium link. Included flanged bearings help the steering run smoother and reduce side-to-side slop.

Improved Feedback and Reduced Flex

Thanks to its aluminium construction, the OTW143 link cuts down on deflection during hard inputs so you feel a more direct connection to the front wheels. The flanged bearings reduce friction at the pivots, extending component life and stabilising steering feel.

Good Choice for Track Work and Setup Tuning

Whether you are dialing in steering on carpet or asphalt, the Kyosho OTW143 gives a clearer, more predictable response that makes setup changes easier to evaluate. Fitment is aimed at OPTIMA Mid owners looking for tighter on-track steering.
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.

Will changing to aluminium affect steering weight?

Aluminium can add a small amount of weight at the steering linkage, which tends to stabilise the steering feel. The net result is usually firmer, more consistent responses rather than vague movement.

Is any modification needed to install the OTW143?

No major modifications are normally required when fitting the Kyosho OTW143 to an OPTIMA Mid. Check alignment and ensure the bearings seat correctly, then verify end points and steering throw during setup.

Can I upgrade to higher quality bearings later?

Yes, you can replace the supplied flanged bearings with higher-grade sealed bearings if you want lower friction or better longevity, provided the replacements match the same bore and flange dimensions.
