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

FW05 graphite steering plate

This graphite steering plate is an RC replacement crafted for Kyosho FW05-R and FW05RR chassis, carrying the part code FW05-011. It installs as a direct replacement to improve front-end stiffness and provide more consistent steering input transfer without altering the underlying chassis geometry.

Installation is simple for regular model maintenance: remove the original steering plate, align the new plate to the existing mounting points and secure with the original fasteners, then confirm servo horn and linkage clearance before test running. No chassis modification is required on compatible FW05-R or FW05RR builds.

In setup terms the graphite plate reduces steering stack compliance, producing a firmer feel and improved feedback under load. Modelers often fit it to sharpen turn-in or to fine-tune handling balance through structural stiffness rather than by changing tyres or damping. Carry out routine inspections for surface damage and ensure fixings remain tight.
