HPI Savage 21 Aluminium 5-Spoke Rim HSA-022A/T2 by 3Racing  [HSA-022A/T2]

A machined aluminium 5-spoke rim supplied as model HSA-022A/T2 and suited to Savage-series vehicles. This wheel is offered to modders and tuners looking for a metal alternative to stock plastic wheels on HPI Savage platforms.

Design intent: The rim's machined aluminium body reduces flex compared with common plastic wheels, producing firmer steering input and more repeatable contact patch behaviour. That stability helps when evaluating tyre choices or fine-tuning suspension settings for off-road scale work.

Mounting advice: Confirm hub profile and hex size before installation and keep original fasteners where appropriate. When attaching metal wheels to metal hubs, apply thread locker to metal fasteners and check bead seating carefully to prevent imbalance. Perform balance and runout checks after fitting to catch any machining variance.

Tuning notes: An aluminium wheel raises unsprung mass and rotational inertia, which can alter throttle response, braking and suspension reaction. Use the rim when assessing handling with lower rim deformation and adjust tyre compound and damper settings to suit.
