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.
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 these with aftermarket wheels?

Many aftermarket wheels fit the OPTIMA hub pattern, but confirm hub offset and bore size before fitting to avoid interference.

How often should I replace front shafts?

Replacement interval depends on use; inspect shafts after heavy impacts or if you notice steering looseness. Routine checks after races or hard sessions are recommended.

Do I need special tools to install?

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.
