Overview of the FT9 hub plate

The Factory Pro O-SCP041L steering hub plate is an aftermarket graphite replacement part made for the Schumacher FT9 platform and is supplied as a single piece. It introduces a +1mm offset intended to make subtle changes to steering geometry when dialling in a 1/10 electric touring car.

The plate fits the FT9 steering hub RL position noted in the part name and swaps in for the stock hub plate without altering the remainder of the suspension components. Graphite construction reduces weight and gives a stiffer mounting surface than many factory plastic plates.

Fitting follows standard FT9 procedures: remove the wheel and hub assembly, change the hub plate for the Factory Pro unit, check kingpin and bearing seating, then verify toe and steering roll centre before track testing. Tweak setups one parameter at a time and log results.

Will this hub plate affect caster or camber?

This +1mm offset mainly impacts scrub radius and steering roll centre; caster and camber are not directly changed by the plate alone but may feel different once toe and steering geometry are altered.

Any special tools needed to fit it?

No specialist tools are required beyond common RC workshop items. A basic set of hex drivers, pliers and a setup board to measure toe is sufficient for installation and verification.

Can I run this on-road and on carpet track surfaces?

Yes, the plate is suitable for on-road touring surfaces; its effect is subtle so it is often used when seeking small handling gains on asphalt or carpet circuits.
