Overview
The VITAVON CNC Aluminium 7075 Upper Links for LOSI DBXL E2.0 represent a premium upgrade for serious RC buggy enthusiasts and competitive racers in the UK who demand the very best in suspension performance and durability. These precision-engineered upper links are manufactured from high-grade aluminium 7075, one of the strongest and most durable aluminium alloys available in RC parts manufacturing, offering a perfect balance between lightweight construction and exceptional strength. Whether you're bashing at your local RC track, competing in organised races, or pushing your LOSI DBXL E2.0 to the limit across challenging terrain, these upper links deliver the rigidity and consistency that serious RC car UK enthusiasts have come to expect from the VITAVON brand.
Designed specifically for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 platform, these upper links are also compatible with the LOSI DBXL GAS buggy models and MTXL variants, making them a versatile upgrade for owners of multiple LOSI vehicles. The DBXL E2.0 has established itself as one of the most capable 1/5 scale RC buggies available, and upgrading the suspension linkage with premium CNC-machined components is one of the most effective ways to improve handling, consistency and overall performance across different driving conditions. Available in multiple colour options including silver, black and red, these upper links allow you to customise your buggy's appearance whilst significantly enhancing its mechanical performance.
VITAVON has built a reputation for delivering professional-grade RC upgrade parts that rival OEM components in quality whilst offering superior performance characteristics. These upper links are manufactured using computer numerical control (CNC) machining processes that ensure tolerances are held to extremely tight specifications, meaning each part fits perfectly and performs consistently. For RC racers, weekend bashers and collectors who refuse to compromise on quality, the VITAVON CNC Aluminium 7075 Upper Links represent a worthwhile investment in the longevity and performance of your LOSI DBXL E2.0.
Key Features
- High-Grade Aluminium 7075 Construction — These upper links are manufactured from aluminium 7075, widely recognised as one of the strongest aluminium alloys available in RC component manufacturing, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that significantly exceeds standard plastic alternatives or softer aluminium variants, which directly translates to improved suspension responsiveness and longevity in demanding driving conditions.
- Precision CNC Machining — Each upper link is produced using computer numerical control machining, ensuring that tolerances are held to extremely tight specifications and every component fits perfectly with your DBXL E2.0 suspension system, eliminating play and inconsistency that can develop over time with lower-quality parts.
- Direct Compatibility with LOSI DBXL E2.0 — Engineered specifically for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 electric buggy platform, these upper links ensure perfect fitment and optimal suspension geometry, with the added benefit of also being compatible with the LOSI DBXL GAS buggy variant and MTXL models, providing versatility if you own multiple vehicles.
- Multiple Colour Options — Available in silver, black and red finishes, allowing you to match your buggy's aesthetic preferences or differentiate between left and right suspension components for easier maintenance and assembly, with silver supplied as the default colour unless otherwise requested.
- Suspension Performance Enhancement — Upgrading from stock plastic links to these rigid aluminium components dramatically improves suspension geometry consistency, reduces deflection under load and enhances the responsiveness of your suspension tuning adjustments, resulting in more predictable handling and better performance across varied terrain.
- Extended Component Lifespan — The superior durability of aluminium 7075 compared to plastic alternatives means these upper links will withstand the punishment of aggressive driving, high-speed runs and challenging terrain without cracking, bending or becoming permanently deformed, reducing the frequency of suspension maintenance and parts replacement.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Aluminium 7075 Upper Links represent a significant step up in suspension component quality for the LOSI DBXL E2.0, one of the most respected 1/5 scale electric buggies in the RC car UK market. The aluminium 7075 alloy used in their construction is approximately 3-4 times stronger than standard plastic components whilst maintaining comparable weight, which means your suspension geometry remains consistent throughout an entire driving session rather than gradually deteriorating as plastic components flex and deform under load. The CNC machining process ensures that each upper link is produced to extremely tight tolerances, typically within 0.1mm, meaning perfect fitment with the suspension ball joints and maintaining precise suspension angles that have been carefully engineered into the DBXL E2.0's geometry. This consistency is absolutely critical for competitive RC racing, where even small variations in suspension geometry can result in noticeable changes in handling, turn-in response and overall lap time performance. The rigid construction of these aluminium upper links also means that suspension adjustments you make to camber, caster and other angles will have predictable and repeatable effects on handling characteristics, whereas plastic components can introduce inconsistency as they flex and wear over time. The superior material choice also provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these components suitable for use in wet UK weather conditions or when driving near water, and they are easy to clean and maintain compared to plastic alternatives that can become brittle and discoloured over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these upper links fit my LOSI DBXL E2.0 without modification? — Yes, these upper links are engineered specifically for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 platform and are designed to drop directly into place without any modification or machining required, though you will need to remove the old links and re-use your existing ball joint hardware when fitting them to your buggy.
- Are these upper links suitable for competitive RC racing? — Absolutely. VITAVON components are widely used by RC racing teams across Europe and beyond, and the precision CNC manufacturing and high-grade aluminium 7075 construction make these upper links ideal for competitive drivers who require maximum performance consistency and reliability throughout a race event.
- What colour should I order and can I change it? — These upper links are supplied in silver as the default colour, but they are also available in black and red to match your buggy or personal preferences. If you require a different colour from silver, simply reply to your order confirmation specifying your preferred colour choice and VITAVON will prepare your order accordingly.
- How much performance improvement will I notice after upgrading to these upper links? — The improvement in suspension consistency and responsiveness is immediately noticeable, particularly if you're upgrading from the standard plastic links, with most drivers reporting improved turn-in response, more predictable handling through corners and better feedback through the steering wheel when driving on varied terrain.
- Are these upper links compatible with other LOSI buggy models? — These upper links are specifically designed for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 and are also compatible with the LOSI DBXL GAS buggy variant and MTXL models, but they will not fit other LOSI platforms such as the DBXL 1.0 or other buggy models without verification of compatibility.
- What is the difference between aluminium 7075 and standard plastic upper links? — Aluminium 7075 is significantly stronger and more rigid than plastic, meaning less deflection under load, better suspension geometry consistency, longer lifespan before requiring replacement, and superior performance in competitive racing situations where precision and reliability are paramount.
- How do I install these upper links on my DBXL E2.0? — Installation is straightforward and involves removing your existing plastic upper links by unbolting them from the chassis and suspension components, then bolting the new VITAVON aluminium links into place using the same mounting holes and ball joint connections, typically taking 20-30 minutes with basic RC tools.
