Overview
The Losi Chassis Brace, Rear, Black, Aluminium MTXL is a premium aftermarket suspension component designed specifically for the Losi MTXL platform. This high-quality rear chassis brace is engineered to provide enhanced structural rigidity and improved handling characteristics for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers. Whether you're upgrading your RC car UK setup or fine-tuning an existing build, this aluminium brace delivers the durability and performance benefits that discerning hobbyists demand from their RC model spares.
Manufactured by Losi, a recognised leader in RC vehicle engineering, this rear chassis brace is an essential upgrade for anyone looking to maximise their MTXL's potential. The component is machined from hard-anodised black aluminium, offering a perfect balance between lightweight construction and exceptional strength. Drivers who push their vehicles hard on the track or in competitive environments will appreciate the added chassis stiffness that reduces flex and improves power delivery to the ground.
This is the ideal choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and genuine Losi engineering. As a focused upgrade component rather than a complete ready to run RC car, this brace represents a smart investment for those who already own an MTXL or are building one from scratch with premium parts. The black aluminium finish not only looks professional but also resists wear and corrosion, ensuring long-term performance even with regular use and maintenance.
Key Features
- Premium Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-grade aluminium material, this chassis brace provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring your RC car benefits from added rigidity without unnecessary weight penalty that would affect acceleration and handling dynamics.
- Hard-Anodised Black Finish — The professional black anodised coating protects the aluminium from corrosion, scratches and UV damage while maintaining a clean, competition-ready appearance that looks great on any MTXL build.
- Rear Position Design — Specifically engineered as a rear chassis brace, this component reinforces the rear section of your chassis, reducing flex during aggressive cornering, acceleration and when landing jumps, which translates to more predictable handling and better traction.
- MTXL Platform Compatibility — Designed exclusively for the Losi MTXL, this brace ensures perfect fitment and alignment, eliminating the guesswork when upgrading your RC model spares and guaranteeing seamless integration with your existing setup.
- Direct OEM Part — As a genuine Losi component with official part number Z-LOS351005, you can be confident in the quality and engineering standards that Losi applies to all their aftermarket RC model parts.
- Competition-Grade Performance — Whether you're racing competitively or bashing recreationally, the added chassis stiffness improves power transfer, reduces unwanted movement and helps your MTXL respond more precisely to steering inputs and throttle commands.
Technical Performance
The Losi Chassis Brace, Rear, Black, Aluminium MTXL represents a focused engineering solution for drivers seeking to eliminate chassis flex and improve overall structural integrity. Crafted from premium-grade aluminium that has been hard-anodised for durability, this rear brace significantly enhances the rigidity of your MTXL's chassis during demanding driving conditions. The lightweight yet strong material selection ensures that the performance gains are not offset by added weight that would compromise acceleration or fuel efficiency in competitive environments. The rear-mounted position is critical to handling dynamics, as it directly influences how power is transferred through the rear suspension and axles during cornering and acceleration phases. By reducing chassis twist and flex, this brace allows your MTXL to maintain more consistent geometry during aggressive driving, resulting in improved cornering grip, more predictable throttle response, and better overall vehicle control. For drivers running competitive setups or high-performance tuning packages, the elimination of unwanted chassis movement translates to more repeatable lap times and confidence-inspiring handling characteristics that separate podium finishers from mid-pack runners.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a chassis brace and why do I need one for my RC car? — A chassis brace is a structural reinforcement component that connects points on your RC car's chassis to reduce flex during acceleration, cornering and landing. When you drive hard, chassis flex causes the suspension geometry to change slightly, which reduces grip and makes handling feel unpredictable. This rear chassis brace for the MTXL locks the rear section of the chassis in place, keeping suspension geometry consistent and improving handling precision, traction and overall driving feel.
- Is this a genuine Losi part? — Yes, this is a genuine Losi OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component with the official Losi part number Z-LOS351005. You're purchasing authentic Losi engineering, not an aftermarket copy, which means perfect fitment and reliability on your MTXL.
- Will this upgrade improve my lap times? — For competitive drivers, yes. The reduced chassis flex allows more consistent suspension geometry throughout a lap, which translates to more predictable handling and better grip consistency. Many drivers report improved cornering speed and more confidence pushing harder into turns after adding a quality rear chassis brace.
- Is installation difficult? — Chassis braces are generally straightforward to install, though you'll need basic RC tools and mechanical knowledge. As this is a specific component for the MTXL platform, it's designed for direct fitment. We recommend consulting the Losi MTXL manual or online build guides if you're new to chassis upgrades.
- Can I use this brace on other Losi models? — No, this rear chassis brace is specifically designed for the MTXL platform. It is engineered to fit the unique chassis geometry of the MTXL only. Using it on other models may result in poor fitment or damage to both the brace and your vehicle.
- What performance gains can I expect? — Actual gains depend on your current setup and driving style, but most drivers notice improved handling precision, reduced understeer in corners, better traction during acceleration, and more consistent performance throughout a race run or bashing session. The benefit is most noticeable on high-grip surfaces where chassis flex is most apparent.
