Key Features

- Direct Replacement Design — Engineered as a perfect bolt-on replacement for the factory plastic crash structure, this component requires no modification to your Promoto and integrates seamlessly with all existing components for hassle-free installation.
- Enhanced Durability and Longevity — The improved strength of aluminium means this crash structure will outlast multiple plastic replacements, making it a cost-effective long-term investment that protects the rest of your motorcycle from crash damage.
- Professional Finished Appearance — The distinctive red finish combined with the precision RC Overhaul branding adds a sophisticated, finished look that distinguishes your Promoto from stock machines and signals that you care about quality upgrades.

Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Aluminum Crash Structure represents a significant step up in material science and engineering precision for the Losi Promoto platform. Where the original plastic crash structure flexes and cracks under impact, this CNC-machined 7075 aluminium component maintains rigid structural integrity through repeated crashes and aggressive riding. The 7075 aluminium alloy is the same material specification used in aerospace applications and high-performance racing, meaning you're benefiting from military-grade engineering standards. The precision CNC machining process creates tolerances and surface finishes that simply cannot be achieved through plastic injection moulding, resulting in a component that not only performs better but looks noticeably more refined. The structural design maintains the exact mounting points and geometry of the original plastic part, ensuring perfect compatibility with all factory components and other aftermarket upgrades. When you consider that impact damage to the crash structure is one of the most common failure points on plastic motorcycle chassis, upgrading to this aluminium component is a sensible decision that will extend the overall lifespan of your Promoto and reduce long-term repair costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this aluminium crash structure fit my Losi Promoto motorcycle? — Yes, this RC Overhaul component is designed as a direct replacement for the stock plastic crash structure on compatible Losi Promoto models including the Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM variants. Simply check your model number against the compatibility list above to confirm your specific Promoto will accept this upgrade. Installation requires no modification whatsoever to your machine.
- What makes 7075 aluminium better than plastic for this application? — The 7075 aluminium alloy used in this component is significantly harder and more impact-resistant than the plastic moulded original. Whilst plastic absorbs impact energy by cracking and deforming permanently, aluminium flexes elastically and returns to its original shape, making it dramatically better at protecting your Promoto during crashes. Additionally, aluminium will not develop stress cracks or brittleness over time the way plastic does, meaning this component will remain strong and reliable for years of riding.
- How difficult is installation of the RC Overhaul Crash Structure? — Installation is extremely straightforward. The component includes all necessary hardware including the top hinge bushes, mounting screws, and lower pivot shaft. Simply remove the original plastic crash structure by unbolting it, position the new aluminium component in the exact same location, and secure it using the provided fasteners. Most experienced RC enthusiasts can complete the installation in under 10 minutes without any special tools beyond a basic socket set.
- Does this upgrade affect the performance characteristics of my Promoto? — No, this is purely a structural upgrade with no impact on handling, speed, or drivability. The aluminium crash structure maintains identical geometry and mounting points to the original plastic part, so your Promoto will handle exactly as before. The only differences you'll notice are improved durability and a much more refined appearance.
- Can I use this crash structure with other aftermarket upgrades and parts? — Yes, this RC Overhaul component is fully compatible with all standard aftermarket Promoto upgrades and hop-up parts. It's designed to integrate seamlessly with the rest of your machine regardless of what other modifications you've made.
- How does the red finish hold up to regular riding and exposure? — The aluminium is finished to a high professional standard and resists corrosion and fading under normal UK riding conditions. Like all aluminium components, you can easily maintain the finish by occasional cleaning with soap and water. The anodised red coating is durable and designed to withstand the rigours of regular RC riding.
