Aftermarket steering hub plate for FT9

This Factory Pro aftermarket steering hub plate is an RC-scale replacement designed for the Schumacher FT9 platform, supplied as 1 pcs and made from graphite. It is intended to act as a direct-fit component in the FT9 steering assembly where graphite is selected for its rigidity and wear profile in touring car setups.

Installation notes: confirm the orientation against your existing hub and FT9 chassis references, remove and refit with your standard RC hex drivers, and inspect mating surfaces and bearings before final tightening. Reuse original hardware where suitable and apply your normal torque settings for hub fasteners.

Tuning role: as a structural mounting point in the steering geometry, a graphite hub plate can alter feedback and linkage behaviour; after installation check steering feel and re-adjust toe and caster as needed. Periodic inspection of contact faces and 走珠軸承 will help maintain predictable steering performance.

Can I use this on a different year FT9 variant?

It is made for the FT9. Check the mounting points and dimensions against your variant; slight revisions between years may require verification before fitting.

Should I replace bearings when fitting this plate?

Inspect the bearings and replace if there is play or roughness. Fresh, smooth bearings ensure the graphite plate behaves predictably and reduces uneven wear.

Does graphite affect steering feel significantly?

Graphite generally increases stiffness compared with some metals or composites, which can change feedback and transient response. Re-check alignment and fine tune toe/caster after fitting to settle handling.
