- CNC-Machined 7075 Aluminium Construction — This premium aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is precision-machined to exact tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting durability that far exceeds the fragile moulded plastic stock guard.
- Anodised Blue Finish — The anodisation process creates a hard, protective oxide layer that resists scratching, corrosion and fading, keeping your chain guard looking factory-fresh even after intensive use and outdoor exposure.
- Two-Screw Installation — The simple, tool-free installation process means you can upgrade your Promoto in minutes without any specialist knowledge or complex procedures, making this accessible to beginners and experienced riders alike.
- RC Overhaul Signature Logo — Finished with the distinctive RC Overhaul branding, this guard adds visual polish and helps your bike stand out at the track or in your RC collection, serving as both a functional upgrade and a status symbol among enthusiasts.
- Lightweight Yet Strong — Aluminium provides the perfect balance of strength and weight savings compared to plastic, helping maintain your Promoto's handling characteristics whilst significantly improving durability and longevity.
- Perfect Fit for Promoto Range — Specifically designed for the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM models, this guard integrates seamlessly with your existing motorcycle components and doesn't interfere with chain operation.
- Investment in Quality — By choosing a machined aluminium upgrade over budget aftermarket plastic alternatives, you're investing in a component that will outlast multiple chains and sprockets, representing genuine value for money in the long term.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Aluminium Chain Guard represents a significant step up in build quality and engineering compared to the stock plastic guard found on new Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM motorcycles. Manufactured from 7075 aluminium, one of the strongest aluminium alloys available, this component has been CNC-machined to precise tolerances that ensure perfect fitment and alignment with your Promoto's chain and sprocket system. The anodisation process applied to the blue finish isn't merely cosmetic — it creates a hard ceramic oxide layer that provides superior scratch resistance, corrosion protection and longevity in outdoor conditions common to UK RC enthusiasts. Unlike plastic guards that become brittle, fade and crack with UV exposure and temperature cycling, this aluminium guard will maintain its structural integrity and appearance across countless riding sessions. The lightweight nature of aluminium means the upgrade actually helps preserve your Promoto's performance characteristics, keeping weight at the rear of the motorcycle to a minimum whilst providing the strength needed to protect your chain from debris, impacts and dirt. Installation requires only two screws, making this one of the most straightforward hop-ups you can perform on your 1/4 scale RC motorcycle. The precision engineering and quality materials used in this guard represent the kind of attention to detail that separates premium aftermarket components from cheaper alternatives flooding the RC market.
