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

Graphite steering plate for FW05 chassis

This graphite steering plate is an RC-scale replacement part designed for Kyosho FW05-R and FW05RR chassis applications, supplied by 3Racing as FW05-011. As a direct-fit upgrade it focuses on front-end stiffness and more consistent steering input transmission without changing core geometry.

Installation is straightforward for model-level work: remove the original steering plate, align the replacement with the existing mounting points and fasteners, then verify servo horn and linkage clearance before testing. No modification to the chassis layout is required when fitted to compatible FW05-R or FW05RR assemblies.

In tuning terms this plate changes the steering stack's compliance by using graphite as the structural element, which can sharpen feel and reduce flex under load. Hobbyists typically use it when seeking crisper turn-in or to fine-tune understeer/oversteer balance through chassis stiffness rather than suspension or tyre changes. Regular inspection for surface cracks and secure fastenings is recommended as part of routine maintenance.
