Key Features
- Precision-Machined 7075 Aluminium Construction — This chain guard is manufactured from 7075 aluminium, one of the strongest and most durable aluminium alloys available for RC components. The material provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, meaning you get protection without adding significant mass to your motorcycle. This engineering-grade aluminium is far superior to the stock moulded plastic guard, offering genuine durability for regular use and racing applications.
- Anodised Black Finish with RC Overhaul Logo — The black anodised coating provides multiple benefits: it protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear, creates a premium appearance, and resists fading from UV exposure and dirt. The RC Overhaul logo is integrated into the finish, adding a professional touch that identifies your bike as upgraded and well-maintained. The black colour complements any Promoto-MX colour scheme.
- Direct Replacement for Stock Moulded Plastic Guard — This guard is engineered as a direct fit replacement for the original equipment, requiring no modifications to your Promoto-MX. The mounting points align perfectly with your existing chassis, ensuring seamless integration without any fitment issues or complications.
- Two-Screw Installation — The quick installation process means you can upgrade your chain guard in minutes without specialised tools or technical knowledge. Simply remove the two screws holding the stock guard, swap in the aluminium version, and secure with the same fasteners. This makes it an ideal upgrade for those new to RC customisation or for experienced builders who want a rapid turnaround.
- Enhanced Protection and Durability — Whilst the stock plastic guard provides basic chain coverage, the aluminium construction offers superior impact resistance and durability. The rigid structure better protects your drivetrain from rocks, dirt, and debris whilst riding off-road or at racing speeds. This translates to longer component life and fewer maintenance interruptions.
- Premium Upgrade for Personalisation — Upgrading your chain guard is one of the most visible customisation choices for your Promoto-MX. It signals to other RC enthusiasts that you take your bike seriously and have invested in quality components. This is especially appealing for those who regularly attend RC events, competitions, or meetups in the UK.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Aluminium Chain Guard represents a significant step up in engineering quality compared to standard plastic guards. Manufactured from 7075 aluminium alloy through precision machining processes, this component demonstrates the superior engineering standards that professional RC builders demand. The 7075 alloy is specifically chosen for its exceptional strength characteristics — it's the same material used in high-performance aerospace applications — making it extraordinarily durable for the demands of RC motorcycle riding. The anodisation process not only creates the attractive black finish but also provides a hard, corrosion-resistant surface layer that extends the component's lifespan significantly. Unlike plastic guards that can crack, fade, or become brittle from UV exposure, an anodised aluminium guard maintains its integrity and appearance through hundreds of operating hours. The rigid construction of the aluminium guard provides measurably better drivetrain protection than flexible plastic, particularly important if you're riding at competitive speeds or in challenging terrain. The guard's design maintains optimal chain clearance whilst providing full coverage against impacts and debris. Installation is engineered for simplicity — the two-screw mounting system uses the same fastening points as the original guard, eliminating any need for modification to your Promoto-MX chassis or drivetrain components. This direct compatibility ensures that whether you're working on a Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX with Battery and Charger, the Club MX variant, the FXR model, or the Supermoto versions, the fit is perfect every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this aluminium chain guard a worthwhile upgrade for my Promoto-MX? — Absolutely. The stock moulded plastic guard offers basic protection but lacks durability and visual appeal. The 7075 aluminium construction provides genuine impact resistance that extends drivetrain component life, whilst the anodised finish looks significantly more professional and premium. For any Promoto owner who takes their bike seriously, this upgrade delivers both functional benefits and visual enhancement that justify the investment.
- How difficult is the installation process? — Installation is remarkably simple — even for beginners to RC building. The guard simply replaces the stock component using two existing screws. No cutting, modification, or specialised tools are required. Most riders complete installation in under five minutes. The guard is engineered as a direct fit, so there's no need to adapt or adjust any other components on your Promoto-MX.
- Will this guard fit all Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM models? — Yes, this guard is engineered as a direct replacement for all listed Losi Promoto models, including the Promoto-MX standard version, Club MX variant, FXR model, and the Promoto-SM Supermoto versions. The mounting points are identical across these models, ensuring perfect fitment regardless of which variant you own.
- What is the difference between this aluminium guard and the stock plastic version? — The stock guard is moulded plastic that, whilst functional, offers limited durability and provides a basic appearance. This RC Overhaul aluminium guard is precision-machined from high-grade 7075 aluminium and anodised for superior protection and aesthetics. The aluminium construction is significantly more durable and rigid, providing better drivetrain protection whilst delivering a premium, professional look that instantly elevates your bike's appearance. The RC Overhaul branding adds recognized aftermarket credibility.
- Does this guard require any modifications to my Promoto? — No modifications are required whatsoever. This is a direct replacement component engineered to use the exact same mounting points and fastening system as the original guard. Simply remove the two screws, swap the guards, and secure with the same screws. Your Promoto remains completely unchanged except for the visual upgrade.
- Is this suitable for racing or just casual riding? — This guard is suitable for all riding applications, from casual weekend bashing to competitive racing. The rigid aluminium construction actually provides better protection during competitive riding when you're operating at higher speeds or in more challenging terrain. Many competitive Promoto racers use aftermarket aluminium components precisely because of their superior durability.
- Why choose 7075 aluminium for an RC component? — 7075 aluminium is specifically chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability. It's significantly stronger than the plastic used in stock guards whilst remaining lightweight. The material resists impact damage, won't crack or shatter, and maintains its integrity through thousands of operating hours. This engineering choice means your upgrade will outlast multiple stock plastic guards.
