Overview
Upgrade your Losi Promoto motorcycle with the RC Overhaul Aluminium Crash Structure in blue, a premium hop-up part designed to enhance both the performance and aesthetics of your RC motorcycle. Whether you're a dedicated Promoto enthusiast in the UK RC hobby scene or someone looking to personalise their machine with high-quality aftermarket components, this CNC-machined aluminium crash structure offers a dramatic improvement over the stock plastic part. The RC Overhaul brand is recognised throughout the RC community for delivering professional-grade upgrades that make a real difference to durability and appearance, and this crash structure is no exception.
The Promoto platform has become increasingly popular amongst RC motorcycle fans across the UK, and upgrading critical components like the crash structure is one of the smartest investments you can make. Where the standard plastic crash structure can crack or flex under impact, this aluminium alternative provides genuine structural reinforcement that protects your machine during aggressive riding or inevitable crashes. The blue finish, combined with the subtle RC Overhaul logo detailing, transforms the look of your Promoto and demonstrates that you've invested in quality parts rather than settling for stock components.
This is a direct bolt-on replacement that requires no modifications or complex installation. RC Model Shop stocks this part because we recognise that serious hobbyists want the best upgrades available for their ready to run RC motorcycles, and the RC Overhaul crash structure delivers exactly that. Whether you ride on carpet, tarmac, grass or dirt, this component will serve you well and give you confidence knowing that one of the most vulnerable parts of your Promoto is now protected by aerospace-grade aluminium.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined 7075 Aluminium Construction — This part is precision-engineered from 7075 aluminium, an aerospace-grade alloy that offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike the flexible plastic stock part, 7075 aluminium maintains its shape under stress and impact, providing genuine structural support that protects your motorcycle frame and suspension components during crashes and aggressive riding.
- Direct Replacement for Stock Crash Structure — Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the original plastic crash structure fitted to Losi Promoto motorcycles, this upgrade requires no modification to your frame or other components. The mounting points are identical, meaning installation is straightforward for riders of any skill level.
- Improved Strength and Durability — Where plastic parts degrade over time through UV exposure, flexing and repeated impacts, aluminium maintains its structural integrity indefinitely. This upgrade means you'll spend less time repairing crash damage and more time enjoying your RC motorcycle.
- Professional Aesthetic with RC Overhaul Branding — The blue finish is complemented by subtle RC Overhaul logo detailing that adds a professional, finished appearance to your machine. This small detail makes your Promoto stand out from standard models and shows that you've invested in quality aftermarket parts.
- Complete Kit with All Hardware Included — You receive everything needed for installation, including top hinge bushes, mounting screws and the lower pivot shaft. There are no hidden expenses or need to source additional fasteners from elsewhere.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul aluminium crash structure represents a significant engineering upgrade over the stock plastic component. Manufactured using precision CNC machining, this part is cut from solid 7075 aluminium billet, ensuring consistent material properties and structural integrity across the entire piece. 7075 aluminium is the same material used in aerospace applications and professional-grade RC components, offering a tensile strength far exceeding that of injection-moulded plastic. The crash structure functions as a protective guard that absorbs impact energy during crashes, preventing that force from being transmitted directly to the chassis tubes and suspension components. By distributing impact loads across the aluminium structure rather than localising them at plastic mounting points, this upgrade extends the lifespan of your entire Promoto machine. The precision machining also ensures tight tolerances, meaning the part mounts flush against the frame without gaps or misalignment. The blue anodised finish provides UV protection and resists corrosion, ensuring your investment remains protected and looks fresh regardless of weather conditions. For UK RC riders who regularly compete or bash their Promoto machines, the structural advantages of this aluminium upgrade translate directly into reduced maintenance time and improved machine reliability during sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this crash structure fit my Losi Promoto motorcycle? — Yes, this RC Overhaul crash structure is fully compatible with all Losi Promoto models, including the Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR variants and the Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto models. It's designed as a direct replacement for the stock plastic crash structure, so no modifications are required.
- How much stronger is aluminium than the plastic stock part? — 7075 aluminium offers dramatically superior strength compared to injection-moulded plastic. While plastic parts flex and eventually crack under repeated impact stress, this CNC-machined aluminium structure absorbs impacts without permanent deformation. You'll notice particularly improved durability during high-speed crashes and aggressive cornering.
- Is installation difficult? — No, installation is straightforward. Since this is a direct replacement using the same mounting points as the stock part, any RC enthusiast can fit it using basic tools. The kit includes all necessary hardware including top hinge bushes, screws and the lower pivot shaft, so you won't need to source additional components.
- Does the blue colour match my Promoto? — The blue finish is specifically designed to complement Losi's Promoto colour schemes. The subtle RC Overhaul logo detailing adds a professional appearance without being overly prominent. If you prefer a different colour, RC Overhaul also manufactures this part in red and black finishes.
- Why should I upgrade from the plastic crash structure? — The plastic stock part is designed to be replaceable—it's expected to break during crashes to protect more expensive components. However, each replacement costs money and requires downtime. The aluminium version is virtually indestructible, meaning fewer crash repairs and more riding time. Additionally, the improved structural rigidity provides better handling consistency and gives you confidence to ride more aggressively.
- Will this part affect the weight or handling of my Promoto? — Whilst aluminium is denser than plastic, the increase in weight is negligible and primarily at the periphery of the machine, so it has minimal impact on handling. The improved structural rigidity actually enhances handling consistency by reducing flex in the crash structure during cornering and acceleration.
- Is this suitable for both track racing and outdoor bashing? — Absolutely. Whether you're competing on carpet tracks, tarmac surfaces or bashing outdoors on grass and dirt, this crash structure provides protection. The anodised aluminium finish resists corrosion, so it maintains its appearance even after exposure to moisture and outdoor conditions.
