Tune Your Optima or Ultima with the Kyosho OTW159

The Kyosho OTW159 lightweight gear shaft is a precision component aimed at improving the handling balance of Optima and Ultima machines. Manufactured from 7075 aluminium, it trims weight in the drivetrain while retaining the strength needed for aggressive running.

Strength Meets Lightness

7075 aluminium delivers a strong yet lightweight solution for drivetrain parts, and the OTW159 uses that advantage to reduce inertia in the gear train. The result is crisper acceleration and more nimble cornering when set up correctly.

Compatibility Notes

Made with the Legendary Series Optima and Ultima in mind, the Kyosho OTW159 fits directly where specified and works well as a maintenance replacement or targeted upgrade for performance-focused builds.
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.

Can I use this shaft on older Optima models?

It is intended for Optima and Ultima variants in the Legendary Series; check your model's shaft specs against the OTW159 dimensions to confirm compatibility.

Does the aluminium shaft need special care?

Keep the shaft clean and free of grit, inspect for nicks after hard runs, and ensure bearings are in good condition to prevent excessive wear.

Will this change handling noticeably?

Reducing drivetrain weight can make steering input feel sharper and improve throttle response, though gains depend on the rest of your setup and tuning choices.
