Swap in a graphite main plate for your Schumacher Mi9 or Mi8

The Factory Pro O-SCP017 main chassis is a purpose-made graphite plate for Schumacher Mi9 and Mi8 cars. At 2.25mm thickness, it reduces unwanted flex and trims overall mass to help the car change direction quicker and feel more consistent through a run. It is aimed at hobbyists and club racers wanting a firmer platform for setup work.

Benefits of a graphite main plate

Graphite is lightweight and stiff, which helps concentrate flex where you want it and remove it where you do not. The O-SCP017 capitalises on those traits to give the Mi9 or Mi8 improved response and longer-term resistance to chassis fatigue.

Compatibility and installation tips

The chassis is shaped to match the factory mounting layout for Mi9 and Mi8 models and accepts original brackets and servo mounts. Installation is a straightforward replacement; check clearances for electronics and battery when fitting to ensure no rubbing or pinch points.
