This HSA-001/1 graphite side chassis is an aftermarket structural panel produced for HPI Savage 21 and Savage 25 platforms. It is a direct-fit component intended to replace the factory side chassis and deliver increased torsional rigidity for more predictable tuning response.
From a setup standpoint the graphite panel reduces torsional deformation under drive and on heavy landings, tightening steering characteristics and stabilising suspension pick-up. Expect changes in chassis roll and pitch behaviour; adjust droop, spring rate and anti-squat to optimise traction and turn-in for competitive layouts.
Fitment follows the original Savage rail attachment points; during installation confirm fastener alignment and bearing clearance to prevent binding that could affect driveline performance. The unit is supplied as a single piece for RC-scale competition use.
Use this chassis when you need a stiffer platform to refine handling and extract consistent performance across varied track surfaces.
