G-RCO-LOS01

Overview

Strengthen your Losi LMT monster truck with the RC Overhaul Chassis Armor Set, a comprehensive four-piece protective upgrade designed to safeguard your vehicle during intense off-road runs. Whether you're bashing through rough terrain, tackling obstacles at your local RC track, or pushing your truck to its limits, this armour plating kit provides essential protection against the impacts and scrapes that come with serious RC driving. Built by RC Overhaul, a respected name in RC upgrades and tuning parts for the UK RC car community, this chassis armour set transforms your truck into a more resilient machine capable of withstanding the punishment that comes with high-impact driving.

If you own a Losi LMT or are looking to maximise the durability of your RC monster truck, this is an essential upgrade. The kit addresses the most vulnerable areas of your chassis—the centre gearbox, front axle, rear axle, and suspension links—with dedicated armour plating that shields these critical components from damage. By investing in quality protection early, you'll reduce repair costs, minimise downtime, and keep your truck running reliably whether you're a weekend basher enjoying recreational RC driving or a dedicated enthusiast who demands the best performance from their ready to run RC truck.

RC Model Shop stocks this product as part of our comprehensive range of RC spares, upgrades and tune-up options for popular models including Losi, Traxxas, ARRMA and other leading brands. We understand that RC enthusiasts in the UK want access to quality aftermarket parts that enhance durability and performance, and this chassis armour set delivers exactly that.

Key Features

• Centre Gearbox Protection — The centre gearbox is one of the most critical and expensive components on any RC truck, containing the main transmission and differential systems. This armour set includes dedicated gearbox plating that shields this area from direct impacts, scrapes and collisions that could otherwise cause catastrophic damage requiring costly replacement parts.
• Front and Rear Axle Armour Plating — Your truck's front and rear axles carry the vehicle's weight and transmit power to the wheels, making them frequent impact points during aggressive driving. This four-piece set includes separate armour plating for both the front and rear axles, protecting these essential drivetrain components from rock strikes, curb impacts and collision damage that could bend or fracture the axle housings.
• Suspension Link Coverage — Suspension links are delicate components that can easily snap or bend when your RC truck makes hard contact with obstacles. The armour set provides additional protective cover specifically for the suspension link areas, keeping these vital components safe from damage whilst maintaining the truck's off-road performance and handling characteristics.
• Longer Hardware Included — Installation is straightforward thanks to the inclusion of longer hardware (fasteners) specifically designed for secure mounting of the armour plates. The extended hardware ensures that the plating sits properly over the protected areas without interfering with suspension movement or drivetrain operation, giving you a reliable, rattle-free installation.
• Four-Piece Design — The set includes multiple separate armour plates that work together to provide comprehensive protection across all the most vulnerable areas of your chassis. This modular approach means you get complete coverage without unnecessary bulk or weight that would compromise your truck's manoeuvrability and performance.
• Suggested Compatibility with Losi LMT — Engineered specifically with the Losi LMT monster truck in mind, this armour set delivers a perfect fit and flawless integration that doesn't require modification or adjustment. If you own a Losi LMT and want to make it tougher and more resilient, this is the purpose-built solution from RC Overhaul.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul Chassis Armor Set represents practical engineering that prioritises protection without sacrificing the performance characteristics that make your RC truck fun to drive. By concentrating on the four most critical areas—the centre gearbox, both axles, and the suspension links—this kit protects the components most likely to suffer damage from the type of impacts that are inevitable in RC trucking. The use of quality materials and the inclusion of proper hardware ensures that the armour plating remains securely mounted during high-speed runs and aggressive manoeuvres. The design is carefully engineered so that the plating doesn't interfere with suspension articulation, steering response, or power delivery, meaning you can enjoy maximum protection without any performance penalty. For owners of the Losi LMT and other compatible trucks, installing this armour set is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to extend the lifespan of expensive drivetrain components and reduce the frequency of repairs and replacements.
