Overview
The RPM Crash Structure (Radiator) for the Losi ProMoto is an essential upgrade for any RC motorcycle enthusiast in the UK who's tired of costly breakages. If you own a Losi 1/4 ProMoto-MX or ProMoto-SM Supermoto RC motorcycle, you know that the stock radiator is often the first casualty when your bike hits rough terrain, rocks, or crashes during aggressive riding. This purpose-designed replacement solves that problem by reinforcing the exact weak point where most riders experience damage. Whether you're a casual backyard basher or a competitive RC motorcycle racer, this upgrade will save you money in the long run and keep your ProMoto in action for more track time and less repair time.
RPM has engineered this crash structure with genuine insight into how RC motorcycles actually break in real-world conditions. Rather than simply making the radiator thicker or heavier, they've added strategically placed strengthening ribs across the full length of the mock radiator. These ribs aren't just functional—they're styled to look like the authentic angled fins you'd see on a full-sized dirt bike, giving your RC motorcycle that extra dose of scale realism and visual appeal. This is engineering that looks as good as it performs, combining durability with genuine style that will make your ProMoto stand out on the track or in your collection.
When you choose the RPM Crash Structure, you're investing in reliability backed by RPM's limited lifetime breakage warranty. This isn't a cheap plastic replacement—it's a genuine performance upgrade designed by engineers who understand RC motorcycles inside and out. Available in either tough black or dyeable white, this part gives you the option to customise your ride to match your personal style, whether you prefer the classic black look or want to dye the white version to any colour of your choice using simple hot water and fabric dye.
Key Features
- Reinforced crash structure design — The RPM Crash Structure addresses the most common breakage point on stock Losi ProMoto motorcycles by adding full-length strengthening ribs that significantly increase durability without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your RC bike.
- Mock louvers with authentic styling — The integrated strengthening ribs are shaped to resemble the angled fins found on real dirt bike radiators, giving your RC motorcycle authentic scale detail whilst simultaneously deflecting rocks and debris away from the radiator during aggressive riding.
- Increased cool factor and visual appeal — Beyond pure function, this crash structure genuinely improves the appearance of your ProMoto, making it look more realistic and professional compared to the stock radiator component.
- Available in black or dyeable white — Choose the classic black finish for immediate use, or select the dyeable white version and customise it to any colour you want using standard hot water and fabric dye, allowing you to match your personal colour scheme or team colours.
- Limited lifetime breakage warranty — RPM stands behind the durability of this component with their limited lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind that this is a genuine quality upgrade, not a cheap compromise.
- Direct bolt-on installation — The RPM Crash Structure replaces only the radiator portion of the stock Losi part number LOS261010, and reuses your existing mounting hardware for straightforward installation without requiring additional parts or modifications.
- Improved durability for competitive and recreational riding — Whether you're racing competitively or bashing casually, this upgrade reduces downtime from breakages and keeps your ProMoto in the action longer, making it an essential investment for serious RC motorcycle enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The RPM Crash Structure represents genuine engineering designed specifically for the Losi 1/4 ProMoto-MX and ProMoto-SM Supermoto motorcycles. The key to its performance lies in the strategic placement of strengthening ribs along the entire length of the mock radiator housing. Unlike simple thickness improvements that add weight and restrict airflow, RPM's rib design distributes impact forces more effectively whilst maintaining the slim profile required for authentic RC motorcycle proportions. The component is moulded in durable plastic composite materials available in two finishes: premium black for immediate use, or white for enthusiasts who want to dye their parts to custom colours. Installation is straightforward—the part replaces the radiator section of the original Losi assembly (part number LOS261010) and uses existing mounting hardware, meaning no drilling, modification, or additional fasteners are required. For riders who put their ProMoto through demanding conditions, from rocky terrain to track racing, this crash structure has proven its worth in reducing expensive breakages and extending the life of your motorcycle. The engineering quality, combined with RPM's reputation in the RC off-road community, makes this an industry-standard upgrade that serious ProMoto owners return to repeatedly.
