Key Features
- CNC-Machined 7075 Aluminium Construction — This component is precision-engineered from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium, which is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability in demanding applications. Unlike the stock plastic component, aluminium provides superior impact resistance and structural integrity, meaning your Promoto can absorb harder crashes without damage or degradation, keeping your machine on the track longer and reducing repair downtime.
- Direct Replacement for Stock Plastic Crash Structure — Designed as a bolt-on upgrade, this component fits perfectly in place of the original moulded plastic part on compatible Losi Promoto models. The precise CNC machining ensures proper alignment and fitment, eliminating compatibility issues and making installation straightforward for riders at any skill level.
- Improved Strength and Durability Over Moulded Parts — The inherent material properties of 7075 aluminium mean this crash structure will outlast multiple plastic replacements, providing superior protection during impacts and crashes. This durability translates to lower long-term ownership costs and more reliable performance, particularly important for serious RC racers who put their machines through intensive training sessions.
- Premium Black Finish with RC Overhaul Logo — The sleek black finish gives your Promoto a professional, refined appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic of your machine. The subtle RC Overhaul branding serves as a quality marker and adds a small but distinctive detail that differentiates your bike from stock builds, making it instantly recognisable and adding to the sense of personal investment in your setup.
- Complete Hardware Package Included — All necessary fasteners, bushings and shafts are supplied in the box, eliminating the need for sourcing additional components or making trips to specialist retailers. This comprehensive approach means you can begin your upgrade immediately upon receiving the part, with confidence that you have everything required for proper installation.
- Lightweight Yet Robust Design — Despite the upgrade to aluminium, the component maintains minimal additional weight compared to the stock plastic part, ensuring that performance gains from improved durability are not offset by increased mass that could affect handling characteristics or acceleration.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Aluminium Crash Structure represents a significant engineering upgrade over the standard plastic component supplied with Losi Promoto motorcycles. Fabricated from CNC-machined 7075 aluminium, this material is specifically chosen for its exceptional properties in high-stress applications—7075 aluminium offers superior tensile strength and impact resistance compared to injection-moulded thermoplastic. The precision CNC machining process ensures dimensional accuracy and eliminates the micro-defects inherent in moulded plastic, resulting in a component that maintains structural integrity even after repeated impacts. The finished black anodised coating provides corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal, ensuring the part maintains its appearance through intensive use and environmental exposure. The complete hardware package—including top hinge bushes, all necessary screws, and the lower pivot shaft—enables proper articulation and load distribution, critical for the dynamic movement required in motorcycle riding dynamics. For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking reliable upgrades for their Promoto, this component delivers measurable improvements in durability without compromising the handling characteristics or performance envelope of the original design. Installation requires only basic tools and mechanical knowledge, making this an accessible upgrade for riders looking to protect their investment and improve reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the RC Overhaul Aluminium Crash Structure compatible with my Losi Promoto? — This component is specifically designed to fit the following Losi Promoto models: the 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR with Battery and Charger (Pro Circuit edition), the 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR Club MX (Blue), the 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR FXR (Red), the 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto Motorcycle RTR Basic, and the 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto Motorcycle RTR with Battery and Charger Included. Check your model designation to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- Why choose aluminium over the stock plastic crash structure? — Aluminium offers substantially superior impact resistance, structural rigidity and longevity compared to injection-moulded plastic. When you crash your Promoto—and crashes are inevitable in RC riding—the aluminium component will absorb impacts without cracking, deforming, or requiring replacement. Over the lifetime of your machine, this translates to fewer repairs, less downtime, and lower overall maintenance costs. Additionally, the upgrade instantly improves the visual presentation of your bike with a professional factory appearance.
- How difficult is installation of this crash structure? — Installation is designed to be straightforward for riders with basic mechanical knowledge. The component is a direct replacement that mounts in the same location as the stock plastic part, and all necessary hardware—top hinge bushes, screws, and lower pivot shaft—is included in the box. You will not need specialist tools or extensive mechanical experience; standard RC hobby tools such as appropriate screwdrivers are all that is required. The design ensures proper alignment and fitment when installed according to instructions.
- Will this upgrade affect the performance or handling of my Promoto? — No negative performance impact is expected. Whilst the aluminium component is marginally heavier than plastic, the weight difference is negligible and will not materially affect acceleration, braking, or handling characteristics. What you will gain is improved structural rigidity and crash protection, meaning your machine will perform more consistently over longer periods without suffering damage that could alter handling dynamics.
- What makes RC Overhaul parts different from other aftermarket options? — RC Overhaul components are engineered with attention to both performance and aesthetics, combining premium materials with precision manufacturing and thoughtful design details. The subtle RC Overhaul branding and attention to finish quality set these parts apart from purely functional aftermarket components. Choosing RC Overhaul means investing in components that will make your Promoto both more durable and more visually distinctive.
