Precision alloy knuckles for Savage

This JR-CHP-SAV-018 steering knuckle set is an RC-scale replacement part designed for HPI Savage Nitro Off Road series models. Fabricated from aluminium alloy and finished in purple, the knuckles are aimed at builders who want a metal upright to cut down on flex and improve long term wear performance compared to stock plastic parts.

Functionally the knuckle locates the wheel hub and steering linkage, and interfaces with the front suspension. Modders fitting metal knuckles typically do so to stabilise steering inputs under load and to achieve more consistent geometry during jumps or hard cornering.

Fitting is straightforward for anyone familiar with front-end service: remove wheel and hub carrier, exchange the knuckles for the originals, then use the original fasteners to secure. Confirm driveshaft and bearing clearances, and check fastener torque after installation to ensure a safe fit.

Compatibility

Designed for models in the HPI Savage Nitro Off Road Series; always verify fit with your exact Savage variant prior to purchase and installation.

A direct and practical hop-up for Savage owners looking to tune handling consistency and durability at the steering pivot without extensive chassis modification.

Will alloy knuckles change my handling?

Alloy knuckles typically reduce play in the steering pivot, which can tighten steering response and improve consistency during dynamic maneuvers. They do not change suspension geometry unless link lengths are adjusted.

Any setup adjustments recommended?

After installation check toe and camber settings and adjust steering endpoints if needed. The reduced flex can reveal other small alignment issues that were masked by plastic components.

Do they need different maintenance?

Maintenance is similar to plastic knuckles: inspect fasteners and bearings, clean contact surfaces, and replace if you detect deformation or damaged threads.

Will these affect servo strain?

A stiffer steering pivot can increase load on the servo under impact or binding conditions. Ensure your servo is in good condition and that linkages move freely to avoid undue current draw.

How to verify fit before driving?

After fitting, cycle the steering through full lock, check for driveshaft interference, and test on a bench before running. Re-check fasteners after the first few runs.
