Part No: SCH-K219
Shadow Stock: Usually ships within 2 days
The Schumacher FT9 – Carbon Fibre is a dedicated Frontie front wheel drive competition chassis developed from the winning Mi9 platform. This SCH-K219 edition features a special stiff weave carbon fibre chassis delivering forward weight bias, refined flex and a super-low centre of gravity for fast, lightweight and agile on‑road performance. It includes the full range of adjustments you expect from a high‑end FWD racer.
An all‑new suspension geometry package, revised transmission housings, low‑profile driveshafts and compact nano shock absorbers (shortened by 7.6 mm without compromising stroke) combine to provide smooth, consistent handling across changing track conditions. A lightweight gear differential with high oil capacity offers ultra‑smooth action and easy building, while the split top deck and integrated motor mount improve belt efficiency and overall consistency.
