Precision Upgrade: Kyosho OTW160 Slipper Plate

The Kyosho OTW160 slipper plate provides a lightweight replacement for the OPTIMA, ULTIMA, and SCORPION platforms. Constructed from 7075 aluminium, it balances strength with lower mass to help enhance throttle feel and drivetrain resilience for frequent club racing.

Why 7075 Aluminium Works Well

This alloy is valued for its high strength relative to weight, making it a common choice for track-focused parts. A 7075 component reduces rotational drag while staying robust under stress, which helps maintain consistent handling.

Improving Driveability on the Circuit

Reducing the rotating mass lets the motor and transmission react faster, improving acceleration out of corners and offering finer modulation of power. That combination helps drivers feel more connected to the car when pushing for lap time.
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.

What basic tools do I need to fit the OTW160?

Standard hand tools like hex drivers and a torque driver are usually sufficient. Keep a service manual handy and double check slipper clearance after installation.

Is this suitable for carpet and outdoor clay tracks?

The plate is a general performance upgrade that helps on a range of surfaces by improving response. You may still need to tune slipper settings to match traction levels at different venues.

Can I run this with high-torque motors?

Yes, but you should check slipper adjustment and clutch engagement after fitting to ensure the drivetrain handles the extra torque without premature wear.
