These purple-anodised aluminium tie rod ends are manufactured as a direct-fit replacement for the HPI Savage Nitro Off Road series steering linkages and carry the model code JR-CHP-SAV-032. They are offered as an aftermarket upgrade to replace weaker plastic or steel ends where a firmer, more repeatable steering response is wanted.
Used in tuning setups, the components give a firmer joint between linkage and hub, reducing flex under aggressive steering and helping maintain alignment when driving over rough sections. The parts are cast or machined from aluminium alloy and should be treated as accurate model components rather than standard hardware.
Installation advice: remove the stock rod end, transfer any ball cups or spacers as required, and check threads engage fully while allowing free movement of the joint. Confirm steering returns to centre and that articulation is not restricted after tightening.
These ends are a practical aluminium replacement for hobbyists wanting visual consistency and firmer steering behaviour on HPI Savage models.
