- Precision CNC Manufacturing — Every component is computer-numerically-controlled machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment to your Losi Promoto MX without modification or adjustment. This manufacturing standard guarantees consistency batch-to-batch and professional-grade quality that you'd expect from a dedicated RC parts manufacturer.

The anodised finish not only looks professional but also provides additional corrosion resistance, keeping your guard looking fresh through extended use.
- Lightweight at Just 7 Grams — Weighing only 7 grams, this guard adds virtually no rotational mass to your motorcycle, preserving the responsive handling characteristics that make the Promoto MX such a thrilling RC bike to drive. This minimal weight addition means acceleration and agility remain unchanged whilst protection is significantly enhanced.
- Enhanced Durability Over Stock Parts — The high-strength properties of Aluminium 7075 provide substantially better protection against impacts and normal wear compared to the standard plastic or lower-grade metal components. This durability translates directly to reduced maintenance requirements and longer intervals between component replacement.
Technical Performance
The Vitavon Chain Guard Protector exemplifies modern RC engineering principles applied to motorcycle-specific components. Aluminium 7075 is an aerospace-grade material that delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it the material of choice for precision RC parts worldwide. The CNC machining process ensures that every edge is perfectly formed, every mounting point is precisely aligned, and every surface finish is consistent with professional manufacturing standards. This guard sits between your Promoto MX's chain and the outside world, absorbing and deflecting impacts that would otherwise damage the chain, sprockets, or transmission components. The engineering philosophy behind this upgrade recognises that protection shouldn't compromise the lightweight philosophy that makes RC motorcycles responsive and fun to drive. At just 7 grams, this component adds negligible unsprung weight to your Promoto MX whilst providing the kind of robust protection that will extend the service life of your drivetrain significantly. The anodised finish on the available colour options provides a thin oxide layer that resists corrosion from dirt, moisture, and the elements, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance and functionality through countless riding sessions. Whether you're running your Promoto MX indoors on a carpet track, outdoors on concrete or asphalt, or exploring gravel surfaces, this guard stands ready to protect the components that cost the most to replace.
