Available in three stunning finishes—black, silver, and red—this upgrade allows you to customise your RC car's appearance whilst simultaneously strengthening its foundation. The default colour is silver, though you can specify your preferred colour at checkout. Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your electric RC vehicle to its limits or a dedicated competitor preparing for the track, the VITAVON front chassis brace and top plate delivers the engineering excellence and precision fit that separates good RC setups from truly exceptional ones.
Key Features
- Premium Alu7075 Material — Constructed from high-quality aluminium 7075, one of the strongest aluminium alloys available to the RC hobby, this brace and plate combination provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that dramatically improves chassis rigidity without adding excessive mass that would negatively impact acceleration and handling characteristics.
- CNC-Machined Precision — Every component is computer numerically controlled to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment with your Losi DBXL E2.0 and eliminating the gap-fitting frustrations common with less precisely manufactured parts; this precision also means superior longevity as stresses are distributed evenly across the assembly.
- Front Chassis Brace Design — The strategically positioned front chassis brace reinforces the critical front-end structure where impacts and high-load cornering forces concentrate, significantly reducing chassis flex and twisting that can cause handling inconsistencies, wheel binding, and premature wear on other components.
- Integrated Top Plate System — The paired top plate works in conjunction with the chassis brace to create a rigid structural framework that maintains optimal geometry under acceleration, braking, and cornering loads, directly translating to improved steering response and stability across all driving surfaces and conditions.
- Universal Compatibility — Specifically designed and tested for the Losi DBXL E2.0, this component ensures bolt-on fitment and perfect alignment with all factory mounting points, eliminating the need for drilling, cutting, or modification that could compromise structural integrity.
- Multiple Colour Options — Choose from black, silver, or red finishes to match your preferred aesthetic; the silver finish is supplied as standard, though you can request your desired colour when confirming your order, allowing true customisation of your RC car UK setup.
- Enhanced Durability — By significantly reducing chassis flex and distributing impact forces more evenly, this upgrade measurably extends the operational lifespan of your vehicle's frame and suspension components, reducing maintenance intervals and long-term ownership costs.
- Professional-Grade Engineering — VITAVON's reputation in the RC hobby is built on delivering components that perform as well on the track as they do during casual weekend bashing, making this a trusted upgrade by experienced RC drivers across the globe.
Technical Performance
This front chassis brace and top plate assembly represents the convergence of advanced materials science and precision manufacturing specifically tailored to the 1/5 scale class. Constructed from aluminium 7075—the gold standard for high-performance RC applications—the components deliver exceptional stiffness that directly addresses one of the most common issues with stock chassis designs: flex under load. The CNC machining process ensures every edge is perfectly finished, every hole precisely drilled, and every mounting surface perfectly flat, eliminating the micro-gaps and misalignments that plague less precise manufacturing methods. The front chassis brace reinforces the main load path running through the front end of your DBXL E2.0, preventing the subtle twisting and bending that occurs during aggressive acceleration, hard braking, and high-speed cornering. This is particularly critical for drivers running high-torque brushless RC motors and powerful ESC systems that generate forces far exceeding what stock plastic components were designed to withstand. The integrated top plate works in synergy with the chassis brace, creating a triangulated structural framework that exhibits superior rigidity compared to either component alone. Whether you're tackling rocky terrain with your crawler variant, drifting with precision steering inputs, running scale racing events, or simply bashing across open fields with a short course truck, the enhanced structural integrity provided by this upgrade translates directly into more predictable handling, reduced maintenance, and measurably improved performance. The materials selection ensures excellent corrosion resistance, meaning this component will maintain its finish and structural properties even when exposed to damp UK weather conditions or saltwater spray common in coastal areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this front chassis brace compatible with my Losi DBXL E2.0? — Yes, this component is engineered specifically for the Losi DBXL E2.0 platform. VITAVON designs and tests each component to ensure perfect fitment and alignment with factory mounting points, requiring no drilling or modification for installation on your vehicle.
- What colour options are available for this RC chassis upgrade? — The VITAVON front chassis brace and top plate is available in three colours: black, silver, and red. Silver is the default colour supplied with your order. If you prefer black or red, simply reply to your order confirmation specifying your preferred colour choice, and we'll arrange dispatch of your chosen finish.
- Will this upgrade improve the performance of my Losi DBXL E2.0? — Absolutely. By significantly reducing chassis flex and distributing load forces more evenly, this upgrade directly improves handling response, steering precision, and overall vehicle stability. You'll notice particularly measurable improvements when running high-performance brushless setups, attacking technical terrain, or pushing competitive lap times.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is an advanced upgrade component rather than a beginner-entry product, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical ability. If you're new to RC and considering this upgrade, it works best on vehicles where you're already comfortable with routine maintenance and component replacement. It's more commonly chosen by experienced RC drivers seeking performance optimisation.
- What is the difference between alu7075 and standard aluminium? — Alu7075 is a premium aircraft-grade aluminium alloy offering significantly higher strength and stiffness compared to standard aluminium or plastic alternatives. It's the material choice for high-performance RC components because it maintains structural rigidity even under extreme loads whilst remaining relatively lightweight, essential characteristics for a properly engineered chassis upgrade.
- Will this work with my electric motor and ESC setup? — Yes, this component is compatible with all electric brushless RC motors and ESC systems, as it's purely a structural reinforcement piece that integrates with the chassis rather than interfacing with drivetrain or electrical components. Whether you're running a 1/5 scale buggy, crawler, drift car, scale racer, or short course truck, this upgrade enhances performance across all configurations.
- How does CNC machining benefit this component? — CNC (computer numerical control) machining ensures every single component is manufactured to identical specifications with tolerances typically held to within 0.1mm, eliminating the inconsistencies and fit issues common with hand-built or injection-moulded parts. This precision means perfect fitment first time, superior structural performance, and longer component lifespan.
- Can I paint this chassis brace and top plate? — Yes, the aluminium 7075 surface can be painted if you wish to match your specific colour scheme or body design. Ensure you properly prepare the surface and use paint systems compatible with aluminium substrates for best adhesion and durability.
