Direct-Fit Graphite Rear Hub Plates for FT9

Owners of the Schumacher FT9 can improve chassis consistency with the Factory Pro FP-O-SCP038 rear steering hub plate. The graphite construction is intended to replace stock rear hub plates and tighten up steering input.

Material Advantages for RC Use

Graphite brings a high stiffness to weight ratio, meaning you get improved rigidity without a heavy penalty. That helps the rear end react more predictably during quick direction changes.

Installation Tips and Compatibility

The FP-O-SCP038 matches the FT9 rear hub layout for an easy swap. When installing, check that the hub plate clears suspension travel and retighten hardware after initial running.

Will these affect handling on carpet versus asphalt?

Stiffer rear plates typically make handling more consistent across surfaces, but final tuning with springs and anti roll bars will still influence behaviour on carpet versus asphalt.

Can I paint graphite plates?

Painting is possible but not usually necessary. If you paint, use light coats and avoid filling bolt holes or mating faces.

Do these need shims for correct spacing?

Most FT9 setups do not need extra shims, but always check wheel alignment and clearances after fitting and add thin shims if required.

Are there upgrade paths beyond graphite?

After graphite, racers often consider aluminium or carbon options and different upright geometries to further tune rear behaviour.
