The HSA-028 kit includes two precision-machined aluminium dampers created as direct-fit, serviceable replacements for HPI Savage 21, Savage 25 and Savage X platforms. The aluminium bodies provide consistent mounting dimensions and improved surface durability compared with stock composite units.
These components are intended for setup-oriented use: they retain OEM mounting geometry and permit systematic changes to shock oil viscosity, piston choice and spring rate for fine-tuning compression and rebound. Use them as part of a methodical suspension setup routine rather than a standalone performance conversion.
Installation follows standard service procedures. Remove the wheel and any obstructing links, unbolt the upper and lower shock mounts, and install the aluminium unit using the factory hardware. Verify pin and bushing tolerances and check for correct shaft alignment during reassembly to ensure repeatable damping performance.
