Key Features
- Precision 7075 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from premium 7075 aluminium alloy, which is recognised for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability in demanding RC applications. This material choice ensures the chain guard will withstand impacts and regular use whilst remaining lightweight, preserving your motorcycle's handling characteristics.
- Anodised Red Finish — The component is finished with a durable anodised coating in red, providing superior corrosion resistance and vibrant colour retention compared to painted alternatives. The anodised surface protects the aluminium from oxidation and wear, ensuring your chain guard maintains its appearance through countless riding sessions.
- RC Overhaul Branded Logo — Features integrated RC Overhaul branding that adds a signature finishing touch and demonstrates your commitment to quality upgrades. This subtle but distinctive detail helps your Promoto-MX stand out from standard builds, adding that extra bit of bling that catches the eye on the track or display bench.
- Quick Two-Screw Installation — The installation process requires only two screws, making this an incredibly straightforward upgrade that can be completed in minutes without specialised tools or technical expertise. This accessibility makes it perfect for beginners exploring their first upgrades, whilst experienced builders appreciate the simplicity and reversibility of the modification.
- Direct Stock Replacement — Engineered specifically as a direct replacement for the Promoto-MX stock plastic guard, ensuring perfect fitment without modification or adjustment required. This plug-and-play approach means you can install this upgrade with complete confidence that it will integrate seamlessly with your model.
- Enhanced Chain Protection — Upgrades your chain guard to a more robust material that provides superior protection against impacts, debris, and wear compared to the original plastic component. Protecting your chain is crucial for maintaining smooth operation and extending the lifespan of this critical drivetrain component.
Technical Performance
This chain guard exemplifies premium engineering through its selection of 7075 aluminium, a material commonly used in aerospace and high-performance automotive applications where strength and reliability are paramount. The anodised finish provides a hard, protective surface layer that resists corrosion, scratching, and fading far more effectively than powder coat or paint alternatives. The machining process creates precise fitment dimensions that guarantee compatibility with Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM models without any modification required. At just two screws for installation, the engineering achieves elegant simplicity without compromising structural integrity. The red anodised colour is available across the entire RC Overhaul chain guard range, allowing owners to customise their builds whilst maintaining brand consistency. For UK RC enthusiasts accustomed to quality upgrades and precision manufacturing standards, this component delivers exceptional value and performance enhancement.

- How difficult is installation of this aluminium chain guard upgrade? — Installation is extremely straightforward, requiring only two screws to remove the stock plastic guard and install this aluminium version. No specialised tools or technical knowledge is needed, making it suitable for beginners exploring their first upgrades and experienced builders seeking quick customisation options. Most users complete the installation in under five minutes.
- Why choose aluminium over the stock plastic chain guard? — Aluminium offers multiple advantages over moulded plastic including superior strength, better impact resistance, improved durability through countless riding sessions, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. The anodised finish protects the aluminium from corrosion and maintains its vibrant red colour far longer than painted alternatives. Additionally, the premium material upgrade demonstrates your commitment to quality and helps your Promoto-MX stand out from standard builds.
- Is this suitable for beginners learning to upgrade their RC motorcycle? — Absolutely. This is an ideal first upgrade project for beginners because installation requires only two screws and zero technical expertise. It introduces new RC owners to the concept of performance and aesthetic upgrades without the complexity of drivetrain modifications or electronic components. The reversibility means you can always return to the stock guard if desired, making it a risk-free upgrade experience.
- What is the difference between this RC Overhaul guard and the stock plastic alternative? — The primary differences are material composition (premium 7075 aluminium versus moulded plastic), surface finish (durable anodised coating versus painted plastic), durability (dramatically improved impact and wear resistance), and aesthetic appeal (the RC Overhaul logo adds custom branding and visual distinction). The aluminium version will outlast the plastic guard significantly and maintain its appearance through extended use.
- Does this chain guard affect the performance of my Promoto-MX? — No, this chain guard does not alter performance characteristics. It is a direct replacement for the stock guard that maintains the same weight and position, so handling, acceleration, and speed remain unchanged.
