Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined Construction — Each hub is manufactured using advanced CNC machining processes to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect trueness and eliminating the slight imperfections found in injection-moulded plastic alternatives. This precision translates directly to better handling, more consistent lap times and improved overall ride quality on your Promoto-MX or Promoto-SM.
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Material — Manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, these hubs offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio combined with superior durability. This material choice means your hubs can withstand the intense demands of RC motorcycle competition without unnecessary weight penalty, maintaining the agility your Promoto platform demands.
- Vibrant Blue Anodised Finish — The brilliant blue anodised coating serves dual purposes: it provides increased corrosion resistance and weather protection to extend component lifespan, whilst creating a striking, professional appearance that looks fantastic on your machine. The anodising process hardens the aluminium surface, adding an extra layer of durability against impacts and scratches.
- Front and Rear Hubs Included — This complete hub set includes both front and rear hubs, meaning you get a full matched pair of components engineered to work together perfectly. You don't need to purchase multiple kits or source individual parts; everything required for a complete upgrade is included in one package.
- Direct Fit Design — These hubs are engineered as a direct replacement for stock Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM hubs, requiring no modifications, adaptors or additional components. Simply remove your existing plastic hubs and install these aluminium versions—it's that straightforward. This plug-and-play approach means you can upgrade your machine without any downtime or complicated installation procedures.
- Enhanced Durability and Aesthetics — Beyond the performance benefits, the upgrade simultaneously improves the visual appeal of your Promoto-MX or Promoto-SM. The machined blue finish looks significantly more refined and professional than standard plastic components, giving your RC motorcycle that competition-ready appearance.
Technical Performance
The LOS Aluminum Hub Set represents a significant engineering upgrade for Losi's popular Promoto motorcycle platform. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium through precision CNC machining, these hubs deliver the kind of engineering rigour you'd expect from a manufacturer that understands competitive RC racing. The material choice is critical: 6061-T6 aluminium offers the optimal balance between strength and weight for this application, providing substantially more durability than injection-moulded plastic whilst avoiding the weight penalty of heavier materials. The anodised finish in brilliant blue not only looks professional but also provides genuine protective benefits, with the hard-coat anodising creating a barrier against moisture, dirt and impact damage that extends component longevity significantly. Each hub is manufactured to exacting tolerances through CNC processes, which eliminates the dimensional inconsistencies inherent in plastic injection moulding. This superior trueness means your wheels will track more accurately, reducing vibration and improving steering response during competitive runs. The precision engineering ensures that these hubs maintain their integrity through thousands of competitive rotations, providing the reliability essential for serious RC motorcycle racing in the UK. Whether you're running your Promoto-MX or Promoto-SM on a challenging outdoor circuit or putting it through intensive training sessions, these hubs represent the kind of quality upgrade that delivers measurable performance improvements alongside enhanced durability.
