Front-Left Steering Plate for the FT9 Chassis

This aftermarket front-left hub plate fits the Schumacher FT9 1/10 touring car platform and is supplied as a single unit for direct replacement. Graphite is used to alter local stiffness compared with standard plastic components, intended for hobby-level tuning to refine steering characteristics.

Installation is routine for anyone experienced with FT9 front assemblies: remove the existing plate, transfer pins or bearings where necessary, and reinstall with the original hardware. No special tools are required beyond basic hex drivers and hand tools; double-check bearing seating and screw engagement to avoid binding after reassembly.

Tuning guidance: using a graphite plate modifies stiffness and resonance at the front end. Expect incremental changes in steering feel and precision; incorporate this item into a controlled setup process, testing one change at a time to assess effects on understeer, oversteer, and steering consistency.

Fitment and Use

Made to mate with Schumacher FT9 mounting points, listed as a front-left steering hub plate and sold as 1pc for RC touring car applications only.

Not usually; the hub plate is a local change. Inspect surrounding parts for wear and replace anything showing play to get a clear sense of the plate's impact.
Graphite behaves differently under load and can be stiffer; it is not necessarily more fragile but should be inspected after heavy impacts and replaced if cracked.
Record lap times, steering feel at corner entry/exit, and any changes to understeer/oversteer; change only one variable at a time for accurate comparison.
