Technical Performance

Manufactured from quality aluminium and finished with a protective red anodise coating, this caliper exhibits excellent build quality and attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the RC Overhaul Aluminium Rear Brake Caliper compatible with my Losi Promoto-MX? — Yes, this caliper (part number G-RCO-MX06R) is specifically designed to fit the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX motorcycle range. It is confirmed compatible with the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX FXR, the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX Pro Circuit model, and the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX Club MX Blue variant. Additionally, it fits the Losi 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto motorcycle models, making it a versatile upgrade across the Promoto range.
- Will this upgrade improve my motorcycle's braking performance? — No, this is purely a cosmetic upgrade. The RC Overhaul Aluminium Rear Brake Caliper serves no functional purpose in terms of braking performance or handling characteristics. It is designed exclusively to improve the visual appearance of your Promoto-MX by replacing the standard moulded plastic rear caliper with a precision-machined aluminium component. Your bike will handle and brake exactly as it did before installation.
- Is installation difficult or do I need special tools? — Installation is straightforward as this component is engineered as a direct swap for the factory-standard rear caliper. No modifications are required, and the process should be accessible to builders of all experience levels. Most RC enthusiasts in the UK can complete this upgrade in minutes using standard hobby tools.
- What makes the anodised finish superior to paint? — Anodising creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that is integral to the material itself, rather than sitting on top like paint. This makes the red anodised finish more durable against scratches, corrosion, and UV fading. In the variable UK climate conditions, this superior corrosion resistance ensures your caliper maintains its appearance through extended use outdoors.
- Why should I choose this over other cosmetic upgrades for my Promoto-MX? — The RC Overhaul caliper offers genuine machined aluminium construction combined with professional anodising, representing a quality upgrade that stands apart from lesser alternatives. The precision engineering and RC Overhaul branding demonstrate the quality you would expect from premium aftermarket components in the RC hobby. At £12.99, it represents excellent value for a component that provides immediate visual impact.
- Can I use this on other Losi motorcycle models? — Yes, beyond the standard Promoto-MX models, this caliper is also compatible with the Losi 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto variants, giving you flexibility if you own multiple models in the Losi motorcycle range.
