Key Features

• Aluminium Alloy Construction — Manufactured from precision-engineered aluminium alloy, this rear hub carrier offers significantly greater strength and rigidity than standard plastic alternatives, ensuring your wheels maintain perfect alignment even during aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres on any UK terrain.
• Precision Engineering — Designed and manufactured to exact specifications for the Losi Micro-B platform, this component features perfectly calculated tolerances that ensure flawless fitment and optimal performance without requiring any modification or adjustment to your buggy.
• Reduced Flex and Vibration — The rigid aluminium construction minimises unwanted flex during acceleration, braking and turning, translating directly into more predictable handling characteristics and improved overall control of your RC buggy in both casual bashing and competitive racing scenarios.
• Enhanced Durability — Aluminium's superior impact resistance means this rear hub carrier will withstand the stresses of aggressive driving, crashes and continuous use far better than plastic equivalents, reducing the need for frequent replacement and representing genuine long-term value for money.
• Direct OEM Replacement — As an officially approved Fastrax component, this rear hub carrier is engineered as a direct replacement for the original Losi Micro-B rear hub carrier, maintaining perfect compatibility with your existing suspension and drivetrain components.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Rear Hub Carrier represents a significant materials upgrade that directly impacts your RC buggy's performance characteristics and longevity. By replacing the factory plastic rear hub carrier with this precision-engineered aluminium alternative, you immediately gain the benefits of substantially increased rigidity across the rear axle assembly. This improved structural integrity has measurable benefits across multiple performance domains: your buggy's handling becomes more responsive and predictable due to reduced flex during directional changes, the rear suspension geometry remains more consistent lap after lap which is critical for competitive racing, and overall durability increases dramatically when subjected to the impacts and stresses inherent in regular RC buggy use. The aluminium alloy selected for this component has been chosen specifically for its balance of weight and strength, ensuring that the performance gains don't come at the cost of adding excessive mass to your Micro-B. This is particularly important in the ultra-competitive 1/24 scale class where every gram matters. The manufacturing process uses precision machining to ensure that every rear hub carrier meets identical specifications, delivering consistent performance across production runs. For drivers in the UK RC community who are serious about their hobby, this component is considered essential maintenance equipment, particularly if your Micro-B sees regular use at racing events, practice tracks or during intensive weekend bashing sessions. The investment in this upgrade typically pays dividends within the first few hours of use as you notice the tangible improvements in handling precision and component longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Rear Hub Carrier a direct replacement for my stock plastic carrier? — Yes, this component is engineered as an exact direct replacement for the original plastic rear hub carrier that comes fitted to the Losi Micro-B. No modifications, drilling or adjustment is required; simply remove the old carrier and install this new aluminium version using the existing mounting points and hardware.
• Will upgrading to an aluminium rear hub carrier noticeably improve my Micro-B's performance? — Yes, you will notice tangible improvements in handling precision and responsiveness, particularly during high-speed cornering and directional changes. The increased rigidity eliminates flex in the rear axle assembly, maintaining more consistent wheel alignment and delivering more predictable, controlled driving characteristics. Many UK RC drivers report improved lap times and better overall control when upgrading to aluminium hub carriers.
• Is this component suitable for competitive racing with my Losi Micro-B? — Absolutely. This Fastrax component meets professional racing standards and is approved for use in organised RC buggy competitions. Many competitive racers use aluminium hub carriers as standard equipment, recognising that the improved durability and performance characteristics provide a genuine competitive advantage.
• How does the aluminium construction compare to the original plastic rear hub carrier? — Aluminium offers several critical advantages over plastic: it is substantially more rigid, reducing flex and improving handling consistency; it has superior impact resistance, making it less likely to crack or break under stress; and it provides better heat dissipation during prolonged use. The trade-off is that aluminium components typically cost more initially, but the improved longevity means you'll replace it far less frequently than a plastic alternative.
• Can I use this rear hub carrier if I've heavily modified my Micro-B? — This carrier will work with most Micro-B setups and modifications. However, if you've made significant changes to your suspension geometry or mounting points, we'd recommend checking compatibility with our RC Model Shop team before purchasing. Our expert staff can advise whether this component will work with your specific configuration.
• Is the Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Rear Hub Carrier available in different colours or finishes? — This component is supplied in standard aluminium finish. The natural metallic appearance of the aluminium alloy provides both excellent aesthetics and practical visibility when servicing your buggy.
