Front-Left Hub Plate for FT9

This front-left steering hub plate is an aftermarket replacement made to fit the Schumacher FT9 1/10 touring car chassis, supplied as one unit for a direct changeover. The graphite material provides a different stiffness profile versus stock plastic parts, aimed at hobbyists tuning steering precision and feedback.

Fitting is simple for anyone familiar with FT9 front-end maintenance: remove the current hub plate, move across any bearings or pins required, and refit using the original fasteners. Only common hex drivers and basic hand tools are needed; confirm bearing alignment and screw engagement during reassembly to prevent binding or misalignment.

Setup advice: a graphite plate affects local rigidity and vibration characteristics. Expect fine adjustments to steering response rather than large handling shifts; integrate this swap into a step-by-step setup routine to measure effects on understeer, oversteer, and steering repeatability.

Compatibility Notes

Specifically designed for the Schumacher FT9 chassis as a front-left steering hub plate, supplied as 1pc and intended for RC touring car use only.

Can this be used on both street and carpet tracks?

Yes, graphite changes are subtle and suitable across surfaces, but expect different feedback on low vs high grip tracks so retune suspension and toe accordingly.

Is threadlocker recommended for the screws?

Light threadlocker can help prevent loosening, but use a removable grade and avoid overapplication to ensure future servicing is straightforward.

Will this change steering feel a lot?

Expect modest changes to stiffness and feedback; the swap is best used as one element in a wider tuning plan rather than a standalone cure for handling issues.
