Kyosho FW05-R/FW05RR Front Steering Plate Graphite FW05-011 by 3Racing  [FW05-011]

Steering plate in graphite for FW05 chassis

This graphite steering plate is an RC-scale replacement made for Kyosho FW05-R and FW05RR chassis and carries the designation FW05-011. It fits as a direct upgrade, improving front-end stiffness and helping to transfer steering inputs more consistently without reworking the chassis geometry.

Installation is simple for someone comfortable with model maintenance: remove the OEM steering plate, match the replacement to the existing mounting points and refit the original hardware, then verify servo horn and linkage clearance before running. No chassis modifications are required for correct fit on compatible FW05-R or FW05RR layouts.

In tuning terms the graphite plate reduces compliance in the steering stack, which can tighten turn-in and stabilise feedback during cornering. Drivers commonly fit this item to fine-tune handling balance by altering front bulk stiffness instead of changing suspension or tyre choices. Check regularly for surface wear and tighten fastenings as part of normal upkeep.
