Overview
Transform your Losi Promoto-MX RC motorcycle with the precision-engineered Aluminum Hub Set in striking red. This premium upgrade takes your 1/4 scale RC bike to the next level by replacing the stock injected front and rear hubs with machined aluminium components that deliver superior durability, enhanced aesthetics, and improved trueness. Whether you're a seasoned RC motorcycle enthusiast or discovering the thrills of 1/4 scale RC bikes for the first time, upgrading to aluminium hubs is one of the most impactful modifications you can make to your Promoto-MX setup.
The Losi Aluminum Hub Set is engineered specifically for riders who demand the best performance from their RC motorcycle. If you're pushing your Promoto-MX hard on track, tackling challenging terrains, or simply want a machine that looks as good as it performs, this direct-fit upgrade is essential. The red anodised finish not only looks fantastic but also provides real functional benefits, protecting the underlying aluminium from corrosion and wear whilst maintaining that eye-catching appearance that sets your bike apart from standard models.
Ready-to-run RC motorcycles like the Promoto-MX benefit enormously from aftermarket upgrades, and hubs are one of the most critical components. By replacing the factory-moulded plastic hubs with precision CNC-machined aluminium alternatives, you're investing in longevity, reliability, and a noticeable improvement in how your bike handles on the track. This is the kind of upgrade that serious RC enthusiasts in the UK prioritise when building their ultimate Promoto-MX.
Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined Construction — Every hub is machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium using advanced CNC techniques, ensuring perfect dimensional accuracy and concentricity that stock plastic hubs simply cannot match. This precision engineering translates directly to better wheel trueness, improved handling characteristics, and reduced vibration during high-speed runs.
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Material — 6061-T6 is an industry-standard aerospace-grade aluminium alloy chosen specifically for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability. This material provides significantly greater resilience than the injected plastic stock components, ensuring your hubs can withstand the punishment of intense riding sessions and challenging terrain without deformation or cracking.
- Anodised Red Finish — The brilliant red anodised coating serves dual purposes: it delivers a stunning visual upgrade that catches light beautifully and makes your Promoto-MX stand out at the track, whilst the anodising process itself creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, oxidation, and wear from dirt, moisture, and UV exposure.
- Front and Rear Hubs Included — This is a complete hub set covering both the front and rear axles, eliminating the need to purchase separate components. You get everything required for a full upgrade in one purchase, ensuring matched performance and appearance across your entire drivetrain.
- Direct Fit Installation — Designed as a direct replacement for Promoto-MX stock hubs, these aluminium alternatives require no additional modification, adapter parts, or complex engineering to fit. Installation is straightforward: remove the old plastic hubs and bolt on the new aluminium components, making this an ideal upgrade even for riders who prefer simple bolt-on improvements.
- Enhanced Durability and Resilience — By upgrading from plastic to CNC-machined aluminium, your Promoto-MX gains dramatically improved strength and shock resistance, allowing it to handle the rigours of intense rides, competitive track sessions, and challenging terrain without the risk of hub failure or stress fractures that can occur with stock components.
- Improved Trueness and Performance — The precision machining process creates hubs with superior geometric accuracy compared to injection-moulded plastic, resulting in wheels that spin truer with minimal runout. This translates to better handling, reduced drag, improved cornering stability, and ultimately faster lap times.
Technical Performance
This Losi Aluminum Hub Set represents a significant engineering upgrade over stock components, delivering real-world performance improvements that make a tangible difference in how your RC motorcycle behaves on track. The 6061-T6 aluminium material chosen by Losi engineers is renowned in motorsport and aerospace applications for its exceptional combination of lightweight characteristics and robust strength, making it ideal for demanding RC applications where every gram matters and durability is non-negotiable. The precision CNC machining process ensures that each hub is manufactured to exacting tolerances, eliminating the dimensional inconsistencies that inevitably occur during plastic injection moulding. This precision work guarantees that your wheels will spin with minimal radial and axial runout, creating a noticeably smoother, more responsive ride compared to stock plastic hubs. The anodised red finish isn't merely decorative; the anodising process creates a hardened oxide surface layer that provides real corrosion protection and resists the wear and tear that comes from regular riding in UK conditions where moisture and salt air are common. For 1/4 scale RC motorcycle enthusiasts who understand that wheel trueness and hub integrity are critical to achieving consistent lap times and maintaining reliable performance over extended riding sessions, these machined aluminium hubs are an investment in both immediate performance gains and long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these aluminium hubs fit my Promoto-MX? — Yes, these hubs are engineered as direct-fit replacements for all Losi Promoto-MX models including the Club MX (Blue), Pro Circuit, and FXR (Red) variants. They also fit the Losi Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto models. No modification or additional parts are needed; they bolt straight on in place of the stock plastic hubs.
- What's the difference between aluminium hubs and the stock plastic hubs? — Stock hubs are injection-moulded plastic, which is lighter but less precise and more prone to deformation under stress. These CNC-machined aluminium hubs offer superior dimensional accuracy, ensuring wheels run truer with less runout; they're significantly more durable and resistant to impacts, cracks, and flexing; and they look substantially better with the anodised red finish. For serious riders pushing their bikes hard, the performance difference is immediately noticeable.
- Are these hubs suitable for beginners? — Whilst these are an advanced upgrade rather than essential for casual riding, they are absolutely suitable for beginners who want to build a high-quality Promoto-MX from day one. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic tools, and the improved handling and reliability make them worthwhile for any rider serious about enjoying their RC motorcycle.
- Why would I choose red anodised hubs? — Beyond the stunning visual appeal that pairs beautifully with many Promoto-MX colour schemes, the anodising process provides genuine functional benefits including corrosion resistance, improved durability against wear, and protection from UV degradation. Red is a bold, race-inspired colour choice that makes your bike stand out at the track.
- Do I need any additional parts or tools to install these hubs? — Installation requires only basic tools (typically hex drivers or Allen keys depending on your specific Promoto-MX setup). These are direct-fit parts requiring no additional adapters, brackets, or modifications. Refer to your Promoto-MX manual for specific installation instructions.
- How much weight do these aluminium hubs add? — Whilst specific weight specifications are not detailed in the product information, high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium is significantly denser than plastic, so these hubs will add measurable unsprung weight. For most RC motorcycle riders, the performance benefits from improved trueness, durability, and handling characteristics outweigh the modest weight increase.
- Can I use these hubs if I'm upgrading my Promoto-MX with other modifications? — Absolutely. These hubs are designed to work seamlessly with other Promoto-MX upgrades and tune-ups. In fact, upgrading to aluminium hubs is often one of the first performance modifications riders make as part of a comprehensive upgrade path.
