A machined aluminium 5-spoke rim supplied as model HSA-022A/T2 and aimed at Savage-series RC trucks. It is targeted at enthusiasts wanting a metal wheel for direct replacement or to evaluate setup changes on HPI Savage vehicles.
Role and design: The machined aluminium structure reduces deformation compared with standard plastic wheels, producing a firmer steering feel and more consistent tyre contact under load. That makes the rim suitable for detailed suspension and tyre testing.
Installation checklist: Double-check hub hex and bore before fitting and reuse compatible hardware where possible. For metal-to-metal mounting, apply an appropriate thread locker and confirm even tyre bead seating. Balance and runout checks after fitting will reveal any machining or tyre fitment issues.
Setup effects: Fitting an aluminium rim raises unsprung weight and inertia, affecting throttle, braking and suspension response. Use this wheel when measuring the effects of reduced rim flex, and adjust tyre choice and damper settings to match the altered dynamics.
For Savage chassis tuners or owners needing a tougher, low-deformation wheel, this machined aluminium 5-spoke rim provides a steady platform for testing and day-to-day RC use.
