This front-left steering hub plate is an aftermarket replacement designed for the Schumacher FT9 1/10 touring car chassis, supplied as one piece for a direct swap. The graphite option gives a different stiffness profile compared to the standard plastic part and is aimed at hobbyists refining steering balance and feedback.
Fitting is straightforward for those familiar with FT9 front-end servicing: remove the original hub plate, transfer bearings or pins if needed, and refit using the original fixings. Only standard hex drivers and basic hand tools are required; verify bearing alignment and screw engagement during reassembly to prevent binding issues.
Tuning notes: replacing the stock plate with a graphite unit changes local rigidity and resonance. Expect subtle differences to steering feel rather than major handling changes; introduce this component as part of a systematic setup routine, testing one modification at a time to observe effects on understeer, oversteer, and steering consistency.
Specifically intended for Schumacher FT9 chassis fitment, described as a front-left steering hub plate, sold as a single unit, and suitable for RC-scale touring car use only.
