Upgraded steering knuckles for HPI Savage

This JR-CHP-SAV-018 steering knuckle set is an RC-scale replacement part designed for HPI Savage Nitro Off Road series models. The components are CNC-style machined from aluminium alloy and finished in purple, intended for users preferring metal uprights for reduced wear and increased rigidity versus stock plastic parts.

The knuckle serves as the steering upright linking wheel hub, steering linkage and suspension mount points. Enthusiasts commonly fit alloy knuckles to stabilise steering geometry under heavy loads and to limit flex at the steering pivot during aggressive operation.

Fitting follows conventional front-end service procedures: remove wheel and hub carrier, swap in the alloy knuckles, then secure using the existing fasteners. After installation, recheck drive shaft clearance, bearing seating and fastener torque to ensure proper operation.

Compatibility

Intended for HPI Savage Nitro Off Road Series vehicles; confirm compatibility with your particular Savage variant prior to fitting.

A simple, durable hop-up option for Savage owners wanting a metal steering pivot that supports durability-first setup changes and routine replacements.

Does the colour affect corrosion resistance?

The purple finish is cosmetic; corrosion resistance depends on the underlying aluminium treatment. If surface treatment is a concern, ask the seller for finish specifics before purchase.

Are these stronger than standard plastic knuckles?

Aluminium alloy offers higher stiffness and improved wear characteristics compared to common plastic uprights, which can reduce flex and improve repeatable steering geometry under load.

Will bearings or shafts need replacing too?

Inspect hub bearings and drive shafts when changing knuckles. If bearings show play or shafts show wear, replace them to prevent premature failure of the new metal knuckles.

Is any tuning required after fitting?

After fitment verify steering geometry and servo endpoints. Alloy knuckles reduce flex but do not change factory geometry; minor trim of steering links or toe settings may be needed for driver preference.

How often should I inspect the knuckles?

Check mounting hardware and adjacent bearing surfaces periodically, particularly after heavy runs. Replace knuckles if any deformation or thread damage appears.
