Overview
The Losi Chain, 70 Roller (Z-LOS262000) is an essential replacement drivetrain spare part designed specifically for owners of the Losi 1/4 scale Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM motorcycle models. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast or new to the world of RC motorcycles, having a quality replacement chain on hand is crucial for maintaining your model's performance and reliability. This 70-link roller chain is engineered to meet the exact specifications required by Losi's innovative quarter-scale motorcycle platform, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal power transfer from your model's drivetrain to the rear wheel.
RC motorcycles represent a fascinating and rewarding segment of the RC hobby, combining the thrill of high-speed performance with the technical challenge of precision engineering. The Losi Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM models have gained a dedicated following among RC enthusiasts across the UK and beyond, thanks to their realistic proportions, responsive handling, and exciting performance characteristics. As with any frequently-used mechanical component, the chain on your RC motorcycle will eventually require replacement due to wear, stretching, or damage sustained during aggressive driving or competition use.
This genuine Losi replacement chain ensures that your Promoto-MX or Promoto-SM maintains peak drivetrain efficiency and reliability. By choosing an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) spare part from RC Model Shop, you're investing in the longevity and performance of your RC motorcycle. Regular maintenance, including timely chain replacement, is a hallmark of serious RC model owners who want their vehicles to perform consistently race after race and session after session.
Key Features
- 70 Roller Chain Specification — This chain features a 70-link configuration with roller design, which is the exact specification required by both the Losi Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM motorcycle models, ensuring seamless integration with your drivetrain without modification or adaptation.
- Genuine Losi OEM Part — As an authentic Losi original equipment manufacturer component, this replacement chain is manufactured to the highest quality standards and specifications, guaranteeing perfect fit and reliable performance that matches the factory standard your RC motorcycle was built to.
- Roller Chain Construction — The roller design minimises friction and wear on the sprockets whilst providing smooth, quiet power transmission, which is especially important in RC motorcycles where precise throttle response and smooth acceleration are critical to competitive performance and enjoyable driving experience.
- Direct Compatibility with Promoto Range — This chain is engineered to work perfectly with the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM models, eliminating any guesswork about whether you have the correct spare part for your specific RC motorcycle platform.
- Essential Maintenance Spare — Every RC motorcycle owner should have a replacement chain readily available, as chains are consumable components that wear with use and may break unexpectedly during intensive driving or racing sessions, and having a spare ensures minimal downtime.
Technical Performance
The Losi Chain, 70 Roller is precision-engineered from durable materials designed to withstand the demands of RC motorcycle operation. The 70-link roller chain configuration provides optimal balance between flexibility and durability, allowing smooth engagement with the sprockets whilst maintaining structural integrity under the stresses of acceleration, braking, and cornering forces experienced during dynamic RC motorcycle driving. Roller chains are the preferred choice for RC motorcycles because they offer superior power transmission efficiency compared to standard chains, with the rollers rotating on the pin bushings to create a true rolling contact with the sprocket teeth rather than a sliding contact. This rolling action significantly reduces friction, heat generation, and wear on both the chain and sprockets, extending the overall service life of your drivetrain components. The chain's construction ensures that power from the motor and transmission is transferred smoothly and reliably to the rear wheel, which is essential for maintaining consistent speed, acceleration, and handling characteristics that make the Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM such engaging RC motorcycles to drive. Whether you're running casual backyard sessions or competitive racing events, this replacement chain will restore your Promoto to full performance specifications and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Losi RC motorcycle models use this 70 roller chain? — This chain is compatible with the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR with Battery and Charger (Pro Circuit), the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR Club MX in Blue, the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR FXR in Red, the Losi 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto Motorcycle RTR Basic, and the Losi 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto Motorcycle RTR with Battery and Charger Included. If you own any of these models, this is the correct replacement chain for your RC motorcycle.
- How often should I replace the chain on my Losi Promoto RC motorcycle? — The frequency of chain replacement depends on how frequently you use your RC motorcycle, the intensity of your driving style, and maintenance practices such as regular chain cleaning and lubrication. Chains that are regularly maintained may last much longer than chains that are neglected. However, if you notice visible signs of wear, stretching, corrosion, or if the chain has become stiff or noisy, it's time to replace it with this genuine Losi spare part.
- Is this an official Losi OEM part? — Yes, the Z-LOS262000 is a genuine Losi original equipment manufacturer spare part, meaning it is manufactured by Losi to the exact specifications required for Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM models. This ensures perfect compatibility and performance that matches the factory standard.
- What is the difference between a roller chain and a standard chain? — Roller chains feature small rollers that rotate on the bushings, creating rolling contact with the sprocket teeth. This rolling action produces significantly less friction and heat than sliding contact, resulting in smoother power transmission, quieter operation, reduced wear on sprockets, and improved overall drivetrain efficiency and longevity. This is why roller chains are the industry standard for RC motorcycles and performance-focused RC models.
- Can I fit this chain myself? — Whilst chain replacement is a relatively straightforward maintenance task for experienced RC enthusiasts familiar with their models, if you're uncertain about the procedure, we recommend consulting the official Losi Promoto-MX or Promoto-SM instruction manual or contacting RC Model Shop for guidance. Proper installation ensures safe operation and optimal performance.
- How should I maintain my new replacement chain? — Keep your chain clean and properly lubricated with RC-appropriate chain lube or light machine oil, and inspect it regularly for signs of wear or damage. Regular maintenance will extend the life of your replacement chain and help maintain smooth, efficient drivetrain performance on your Promoto RC motorcycle.
