FT9 rear hub plate briefing

This Factory Pro aftermarket rear steering hub plate is made for the Schumacher FT9 1/10 on-road chassis and arrives as a single pair (1pair). Machined graphite construction helps cut unsprung mass while maintaining a rigid mounting surface, suitable for racers and home tuners adjusting handling for different track conditions.

The component fastens to the FT9 rear steering assembly and replaces the OEM hub plate without altering the main linkage geometry. Fitting usually involves removing the rear uprights and light trimming around the hub area where needed, correctly aligning ball studs and bearings, and checking that steering links are parallel. The description is for RC-scale parts only and does not imply real vehicle application.

Used as a tuning element, the graphite plate changes steering feedback by offering a firmer mount than some stock materials. Employ it when experimenting with toe, ackermann or roll-center tweaks to compare handling; it is compatible only with the Schumacher FT9 specified mounting points and hardware.

The O-SCP038 provides a stiffer, lighter rear mount to refine steering feel and offer a consistent platform for geometry adjustments on the FT9.
No specialised tools are required beyond common RC tools. A screwdriver, hex drivers, and patience for alignment are typically sufficient for installation.
After fitting, confirm ball stud alignment, measure link parallelism, and perform slow test runs to assess toe and ackermann effects before full-speed laps.
