Overview
The Losi Aluminum Rear Hubs for the Micro-B and Micro-T are precision-engineered upgrade components designed to enhance the performance and durability of your compact RC buggy or stadium truck. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your 1/24 or 1/28 scale vehicle, or a dedicated basher seeking improved reliability, these aluminium rear hubs represent a significant step up from standard plastic components. Built from high-strength 6061 anodized aluminium, these hubs combine lightweight construction with exceptional durability, making them an ideal choice for RC car UK enthusiasts who demand quality upgrades for their Losi micro-scale models.
If you own a Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy or a Losi 1/28 Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck, these aluminium hubs are the perfect tune-up option to enhance your vehicle's performance and longevity. The race-inspired design draws engineering principles from Losi's acclaimed 22 series vehicles, translating professional-grade handling characteristics down to micro-scale dimensions. These are not simply aftermarket alternatives—they are genuine Losi parts designed specifically for seamless compatibility with your existing chassis and suspension geometry. For the UK RC community, these components represent outstanding value as upgrade parts that make a tangible difference to handling, durability and overall satisfaction.
Available now at RC Model Shop, the Losi Aluminum Rear Hubs deliver the quality and precision you expect from an authorised Losi retailer. Whether you're preparing your buggy for competitive racing, casual weekend bashing, or simply looking to future-proof your investment against wear and tear, these hubs are an essential addition to any serious Micro-B or Micro-T owner's spares box.
Key Features
- High-strength 6061 anodized aluminium construction — Unlike plastic hubs that can crack or flex under stress, these components are machined from premium 6061 grade aluminium alloy, which offers superior strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional impact resistance. Anodizing provides a durable, protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, abrasion and oxidation, ensuring your hubs maintain their integrity through countless hours of use on track or off-road.
- Black anodized finish with silver edging — The striking two-tone colour scheme is not merely cosmetic; the anodizing process creates a hard, wear-resistant surface that protects the underlying metal whilst delivering a professional, competition-grade appearance that stands out on the track or at the skate park.
- Race-inspired design based on 22 series vehicles — Losi's 22 series buggies are recognised throughout the UK RC racing community as industry-leading designs. These rear hubs incorporate the same engineering principles and design philosophy, delivering improved handling characteristics, better load distribution, and enhanced durability compared to standard micro-scale components.
- Direct compatibility with Micro-B and Micro-T platforms — These hubs are engineered as purpose-built replacements for the Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy and Losi 1/28 Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck, ensuring perfect fitment without modification, adjustment or compatibility issues. Drop-in installation means you can have them fitted within minutes.
- Chassis tune-up component for performance enhancement — As a dedicated chassis upgrade, these hubs form part of a complete tuning strategy to improve your vehicle's performance, alongside other Losi upgrade options available in the RC Model Shop catalogue.
Technical Performance
The Losi Aluminum Rear Hubs represent a significant materials upgrade over standard plastic hub components found on entry-level ready-to-run RC buggies and trucks. The choice of 6061 anodized aluminium is deliberate and purposeful: this alloy grade offers an optimal balance between weight and strength, ensuring that the hubs remain sufficiently light to preserve your vehicle's suspension geometry and handling characteristics whilst delivering substantially improved impact resistance and longevity. The anodizing process creates a surface hardness that dramatically exceeds that of bare aluminium, protecting against the corrosion and wear that naturally occurs during outdoor use in the UK climate, where moisture and temperature fluctuations are inevitable. The black anodize with silver edging finish is not only visually striking but functionally superior, as it indicates a thicker, higher-quality anodizing layer than simple single-colour finishes. These hubs are specifically engineered for the Micro-B and Micro-T platforms, maintaining the precise geometry and load characteristics that Losi's suspension and steering systems expect. Whether you're running a Micro-B in white or silver, or piloting a Micro-T stadium truck variant, these hubs will integrate seamlessly with your existing driveline, bearings, and axle systems. The race-inspired geometry is particularly beneficial for drivers who subject their vehicles to high-cornering forces, aggressive acceleration, or rough terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Losi Aluminum Rear Hubs genuine manufacturer parts? — Yes, these are genuine Losi OEM components, manufactured to the brand's specifications and sold exclusively through authorised retailers. The part number Z-LOS-1982 is the official Losi designation. As an authorised Losi dealer, RC Model Shop supplies only authentic parts with the correct packaging and documentation.
- Will these hubs fit my Micro-B or Micro-T without any modification? — Yes, these hubs are designed as direct replacements for the rear hub components on the Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy and Losi 1/28 Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck. They are manufactured to OEM specifications and require no modification, adjustment, or additional parts to install. Simply remove your existing hubs and fit the new ones.
- What is the advantage of aluminium hubs over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium hubs offer several key advantages: superior impact strength means they resist cracking or shattering if your vehicle impacts rocks, kerbs, or obstacles; better rigidity reduces flex and improves handling precision; improved durability means fewer replacements over time; and the anodized finish resists corrosion and abrasion from dirt, moisture, and UV exposure far better than plastic components. For serious enthusiasts in the UK RC market, aluminium is the standard choice.
- Are these hubs compatible with other Losi micro-scale models? — These hubs are specifically engineered for the Micro-B and Micro-T platforms. They are not compatible with other Losi scale sizes without modification. Always check your vehicle's model number against the compatibility list before ordering.
- How do the race-inspired 22 series design features benefit my Micro-B or Micro-T? — The Losi 22 series has established an outstanding reputation in UK RC racing for handling precision and durability. By incorporating design principles from these competition vehicles, these hubs deliver improved load distribution under cornering, better axle alignment, and enhanced suspension geometry response. This translates to more predictable handling, especially during aggressive driving or racing.
- Is this a beginner-friendly upgrade? — Yes, these hubs are suitable for drivers of all experience levels. Installation is straightforward—they simply replace the existing rear hubs without requiring any special tools, adjustment knowledge, or advanced mechanical skills. Even a newcomer to RC tuning can fit these with confidence.
- What is the difference between these Losi hubs and third-party aluminium alternatives? — These are genuine Losi OEM parts engineered specifically for the Micro-B and Micro-T by the manufacturer. Third-party aftermarket alternatives may offer lower prices but often involve compatibility compromises, require modification, or do not maintain the precise geometry that Losi's suspension systems depend on. Genuine Losi parts guarantee fitment and performance.
