Schumacher FT9 Graphite Rear Hub Plate for Precise Steering O-SCP038 by Factory Pro  [FP-O-SCP038]

Overview of the FT9 rear hub plate

This Factory Pro aftermarket rear steering hub plate fits the Schumacher FT9 1/10 on-road chassis and is sold as one pair (1pair). The part is CNC machined from graphite to reduce unsprung weight while preserving steering rigidity, aimed at clubs and tuners who tweak steering geometry for lap time improvements.

The hub plate mounts to the FT9 rear steering assembly and swaps in place of the original plate without changing the main linkage architecture. Installation generally requires removal of the rear uprights and minor trimming around the hub area, followed by careful ball stud and bearing alignment and verification that steering links remain parallel. This description applies only to RC-scale parts and does not imply any real vehicle use.

As a tuning item, the graphite plate gives a firmer base that can affect steering precision compared with some factory composite parts. It is useful when testing toe, ackermann or roll-center settings to gauge handling differences and is compatible solely with Schumacher FT9 mounting locations and hardware.
