Technical Performance
The Losi Chassis Plate Set V2 is constructed from premium 1.5mm thick 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, one of the most widely respected materials in the RC hobby for chassis and structural components. This particular aluminium grade offers an ideal balance between weight savings and structural rigidity, crucial for a 1/18 scale monster truck that needs to absorb impacts from freestyle tricks, jumps, and aggressive racing manoeuvres. The powder-coated black finish is not merely cosmetic — it provides genuine corrosion resistance that extends component lifespan, particularly important if you're running your Mini LMT outdoors on grass, dirt, or near water features. The engineering tolerances are precision-matched to work seamlessly with the rest of the Mini LMT chassis, including the solid axle 4-wheel drive system, metal front and rear differentials, metal driveline yokes, and the 6mm tapered aluminium links that characterise the Mini LMT platform. When combined with the Spektrum 25A 2-in-1 ESC and receiver, the oversized 25T 380 brushed motor, and Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz radio control system, these chassis plates form part of a cohesive system designed to deliver reliable performance across all driving conditions. The Mini LMT platform's 4X4 drivetrain with centre spool means rotational forces are distributed evenly, and the chassis plates must withstand these stresses during acceleration, cornering, and the lateral forces generated during sideways sliding and wheelie manoeuvres. Whether you're using your ready to run RC truck for casual backyard enjoyment or competitive Monster Jam-style events, these replacement plates ensure your truck maintains structural integrity and handling characteristics.
