KYOSHO FW05-R/FW05RR Graphite Front A Arms Plate by 3Racing FW05-006  [FW05-006]

Front A-arms plate for FW05 series

This graphite front A-arms plate is a direct-fit upgrade for Kyosho FW05-R and FW05RR chassis, designed to replace the stock front suspension arm mounting surface with a stiffer graphite panel. It serves as a structural element within the front end, influencing steering feedback and suspension behavior without altering basic geometry.

Compatibility is limited to KYOSHO FW05-R and FW05RR as indicated by the product name. The part is made from graphite, which provides increased flex control and reduced weight compared with many plastics; use this plate where a firmer front end response is desired for on-road 1/10-scale tuning tasks.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic chassis work: remove the body, access the front suspension assembly, remove the existing front A-arms mounting plate or brace, and fit the graphite plate in its place following the chassis' original fastener locations. Confirm alignment of A-arms and steering links before final tightening and perform a short test run to verify handling and trim settings.

In tuning terms, replacing the front A-arms plate with graphite tends to sharpen steering response and can reduce undesired flex during corner entry, which makes it a useful option when adjusting roll center, camber response, or front-end bite. Pair this upgrade with incremental changes to front shock rates and anti-roll adjustments rather than large simultaneous changes to isolate the plate's effect.
