Schumacher FT9 Upper Deck Front Graphite 2.0 - Factory Pro O-SCP034  [FP-O-SCP034]

Front upper deck for Schumacher FT9 chassis

This RC front upper deck is produced as an aftermarket option for the Schumacher FT9 by Factory Pro and carries the model number O-SCP034. The Graphite 2.0 front section replaces the FT9 topdeck front to allow tuning of chassis stiffness and front-end reaction during setup changes.

In a setup context the front topdeck modifies torsional rigidity forward of the centreline, which affects steering bite and consistency over bumps and uneven surfaces. Introduce the deck as a single variable in your tuning process and compare handling after each change.

Installation on a standard FT9 is straightforward. Remove the front topdeck screws, lift off the existing section, align the replacement so its mounting holes match the chassis posts and refit the original fasteners. Ensure clearance with the servo and steering links before final tightening. Use the correct hex driver and apply light, even torque to protect the graphite component.

Service guidance: inspect mounting holes and mating faces after heavy impacts for any damage, keep mating surfaces clean of grit, and re-check screw tightness after initial runs. Handle this aftermarket graphite part carefully and avoid over-torquing small screws.
