Technical Performance
This RC Overhaul chain guard represents a significant engineering upgrade over factory plastic components. Machined from 7075 aluminium, one of the aerospace-grade alloys preferred for precision RC applications, the guard combines exceptional strength-to-weight ratio with outstanding corrosion resistance. The anodising process creates a hard, protective surface layer that resists scratches, impacts and weathering, ensuring the guard maintains its appearance and functionality through extended use across UK tracks and outdoor terrains. The precision machining ensures tolerances that allow perfect alignment with your Promoto-MX frame and drivetrain, eliminating rattles or misalignment issues common with lower-quality alternatives. The two-screw mounting system uses the factory attachment points, meaning no drilling, cutting or modification to your bike is required. Installation typically takes under five minutes, making this an accessible upgrade suitable for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. The anodised silver finish provides an attractive appearance that remains consistent across the Promoto-MX range, whether you're running the Pro Circuit variant, Club MX blue edition, or FXR red model. For serious RC motorcycle enthusiasts in the UK seeking quality component upgrades that deliver both aesthetic and functional improvements, this chain guard represents excellent value and genuine engineering quality.
