Precision graphite arm lock plates for Savage 21

This engineering kit provides front and rear arm lock plates for the HPI Savage 21, supplied as GSAV1052. The graphite plates are manufactured to hold suspension arm pivots with reduced clearance, improving repeatability of alignment without altering intended suspension geometry.

The chosen graphite material delivers rigidity with minimal mass penalty, locating at the pivot to secure either the arm or the insert depending on the vehicle configuration. In workshop conditions these parts reduce variable pivot movement after impacts, which simplifies tuning and setup checks.

Assembly notes: the plates replace the original arm lock hardware position and use existing mounting points. Verify torque settings after initial runs and inspect clearance around adjacent components. Installation requires typical hand tools used for Savage 21 servicing.

Engineers and experienced hobbyists will find these plates a straightforward upgrade to control pivot play and enhance suspension repeatability on Savage 21 platforms.

No; they are designed to clamp existing pivot interfaces and reduce play rather than change geometry, but a post-install geometry check is recommended.
Confirm clearance between the plate and nearby components, ensure even clamp contact on the pivot, and verify fastener torque after a short test run.
Graphite provides adequate stiffness with lower mass and reduced risk of galling to mating plastic parts; choice depends on the desired stiffness to weight ratio.
Inspect after the first few runs for fastener seating and clearance, then include the plates in routine checks after heavy sessions or impacts.
