This alloy fuel tank protector is a compact RC-scale accessory designed for HPI Savage nitro off-road models. Fabricated from aluminium alloy with a purple coating, the protector surrounds the fuel tank to reduce direct strikes from brush and debris while keeping access for servicing.
Application is specific to Savage-series HPI vehicles, so verify the chassis tank mount arrangement before purchase. The protector functions as an external guard and does not alter the tank internals or fuel system layout.
Fitting normally involves basic disassembly around the tank mount area and standard fasteners; retain original mounting holes where possible to avoid chassis modification. After installation confirm clearances to exhaust components, servo linkages and body posts throughout suspension travel.
Fit the protector only where its profile and mounting arrangement suit your chassis, and keep original fixings where possible to maintain servicing access and component alignment.
