Schumacher FT9 FWD – Carbon Kit

The FT9 is designed to be a winner in the close and exciting ‘Frontie’ FWD racing class.

The FT9 incorporates many features from the hugely successful Mi9 touring car, to make a superbly engineered racer.

It is fast, light weight, and agile with a super low centre of gravity.

The FT9 contains all the features and adjustments you need from a high end front wheel drive to take you to the top of the podium.

The FT9, drive from the front.

New – Two Kit versions, K220 – Alloy Chassis 7075-T6 or K219 – Special Stiff Weave Carbon Fibre Chassis. Each offering extreme weight reductions in the rear of the car, as well as advanced flexibility characteristics.
New – Front bumper design with foam bumper and black brass weight. Optional 60g (6x10g weights U8774) additional weight locations.
New – Rear suspension layout with all new shock mounting design. New geometry and forward bias weight distribution.
New – All new suspension geometry. Refined over countless hours by our team drivers and in house development engineers to provide maximum performance across all track conditions.
New – Fully updated front transmission housing. Same on the left and right side.
New – Rear Transmission housing for maximum rearward weight saving and optimum rigidity.
New – Lightweight gear differential design with ultra-smooth action, improved performance and improved ease of build, especially with requirement for maximum oil capacity seen in FWD. Optional oil bleeding design included for an even easier build technique.
New – Driveshaft design. All new low profile joint, joint positioning, ball bearing outputs and weight reduction provide performance improvements.
New – Nano shock absorbers with total length reduction of 7.6mm. Uncompromised stroke for improved performance and lower centre of gravity.
New – Front Hub carrier design. Plastic are included as standard with optional alloy hubs both providing improved wheel control and performance.
New – Front Wheel hex’s with improved wheel control and easier attachment.
New – Rear Alloy Wheel hex’s, lightweight, simple design with inner alloy nut fixing method offering easier wheel fitment.
New – Steering arms with new mounting and adjustable ackermann included and optional crash stop locations.
New – Lower wishbone design with enhanced flexibility, droop control and other improvements. The wishbones are now identical on the left and right hand side.
New – Outer wishbone ball and socket for improved durability and geometry.
New – Independent rear body mounting. Providing better handling performance and durability with shocks mounted separately.
New – Carbon Fibre Servo mount with low centre of gravity design, along with improved mounting location.
New – Compatible with Aerox AX067 LP1S servo, with direct mounting. (Wire extension required, such as KO36521).
New – Front split shock mount design with twist free design and a more consistent, smooth handling characteristic.
New – Lightweight centre layshaft and spur holder design.
New – Lightweight Motor Mount, which includes all new motor positioning with improved pinion accessibility and built in 30mm fan mount.
New – Steering radius arm assembly with new steering geometry for maximum steering with smooth characteristics.
New – Split Top Deck design and integration with the motor mount.
New – Aluminium upper link pivots for lightweight and lower centre of gravity included.
New – Black threaded inserts. Eliminates the need for nuts.
New – Bearing Eccentrics for the diff/spool with smaller diameter and new location type.
New – Precision layshaft with shortened design and revised spur gear position.
New – Motor Positioning with more central motor positioning .

– Improved belt efficiency which can be run much looser without slipping.
– Anti roll bar design lowers centre of gravity.
– Black alloy turnbuckles used throughout.

– Aerospace carbon fibre components throughout.
– Ultra low centre of gravity.
– Double wishbone suspension for increased suspension rigidity, and reduced play.
– Durable and more efficient drive train with larger pulleys 22:40.
– Fully adjustable, suspension geometry, wheelbase, castor, camber, roll centre, ackermann, droop, anti-dive, anti-squat, front and rear toe in/out, ride height and much more.
– Option Parts available to fine tune to all track conditions.
– LiPo retention mouldings. No tape required.
