Kyosho OT229B Front Shaft for OPTIMA Models

The Kyosho OT229B front wheel shaft is a straightforward replacement for OPTIMA owners who need to keep steering crisp. These shafts are designed to match OPTIMA mounting points so rotation stays smooth under load.

Why This Shaft Matters

A correct fit is key for consistent front-end behaviour. The OT229B shafts provide firm support for the wheel assembly, helping to limit unwanted play that can degrade handling over repeated runs.

Fitting Advice and Checks

Fitting the Kyosho OT229B requires basic tools and a stable bench. Remove the old shafts, inspect associated bearings and hubs, then fit the new shafts ensuring they sit flush and any retaining clips or screws are tightened evenly.

Standard RC hand tools are typically sufficient. A small punch and correct sized driver make removal and installation easier.

Should I replace bearings at the same time?

If bearings show roughness or play, replace them when fitting new shafts to ensure long term smooth operation.
