Optimise OPTIMA Mid driveline with Kyosho OTW149

For tuners wanting a sharper feel from an OPTIMA Mid, the Kyosho OTW149 LW Gear Shaft trims unwanted rotating weight while retaining toughness. The result is crisper throttle response and a drivetrain that stays dependable between events.

Main advantages of the lightweight shaft

  • Compatibility: Specifically made for the Kyosho OPTIMA Mid chassis to ensure correct engagement and clearance.
  • Material: Produced from reliable materials that reduce mass without compromising strength.
  • Functionality: Cutting rotational mass helps the car accelerate more promptly and keeps drivetrain losses down.
  • Durability: Built to withstand frequent running and the demands of competitive club racing.
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.

Is this shaft a direct replacement for the stock part?

It is intended as a drop-in option for OPTIMA Mid setups, though you should check gear mesh and clearances after fitting.

Will lighter rotational parts change handling?

Reducing rotating mass mainly affects acceleration and response; handling changes are minor but can influence traction under low speed throttle inputs.

What electronics pair well with this upgrade?

Standard speed controllers and motors used with OPTIMA Mid work fine; choose gearing and motor timing to match the improved throttle response.
