Technical Overview

The 3Racing FW05-027 front graphite body post plate is produced to deliver tighter body locating and repeatable alignment on Kyosho V One series chassis. Its profile and mounting points are engineered to maintain geometry under dynamic loads, improving consistency across laps.

Material and Structural Notes

Graphite offers a high stiffness to weight ratio, reducing flex at the body mount interface while keeping overall mass low. This plate is suitable for drivers who prioritise stable front-end behaviour and precise body sit during competitive running.

Compatibility and Installation

The component is compatible with common Kyosho V One variants including FW05-R, FW05RR, V One RRR, V One S, V One SII, V One SIII and V One RRR Evo. Installation uses standard body post hardware; confirm thread engagement and torque to avoid stress concentrations.

What is the benefit of graphite over composite plates in a racing setup?

Graphite yields higher stiffness with minimal weight increase, improving repeatable body positioning and reducing setup drift between runs, which helps when dialling in chassis balance for competition.

Any fitment advice for optimizing alignment?

Seat the plate flat, use the original body locating points as reference, and check for parallelism with the bulkhead. Minor shims can be used if necessary to correct small offsets.

Can this plate be used with aluminium body posts or mounts?

Yes, the plate pairs well with aluminium posts, but ensure hardware compatibility and avoid over-tightening which could induce stress in the graphite material.
