This high-quality spare part transforms your RC motorcycle by replacing the factory-fitted injected plastic hubs with precision-engineered aluminium alternatives, delivering a significant performance and aesthetic upgrade. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast running a ready-to-run RC motorcycle in the UK, or someone looking to enhance an existing Promoto-MX build, this hub set offers the durability and precision engineering that serious RC riders demand.
If you've been riding your Promoto-MX hard and noticed wear on the original plastic hubs, or if you simply want to take your RC motorcycle to the next level, this aluminium hub set is the perfect tune-up option. The green anodised finish not only looks stunning but also provides increased corrosion resistance, making it ideal for UK riders who face varying weather conditions. This direct-fit component requires no additional modification or extra parts, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge.
RC motorcycles have become increasingly popular in the UK, offering a unique and engaging alternative to traditional RC cars and buggies. The Promoto-MX platform is renowned for its authentic motorcycle handling and competitive performance. By upgrading to this aluminium hub set, you're investing in the kind of reliability and precision that can make the difference between a good ride and a great one, whether you're bashing casually or competing seriously.
Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined Construction — Every hub is machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium using computer numerical control technology, ensuring exact tolerances and perfect symmetry that factory-injected plastic simply cannot achieve, resulting in superior trueness and reliability during high-speed runs.
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Material — The choice of 6061-T6 grade aluminium provides an optimal balance of strength, lightweight properties and machinability, making it the gold standard for precision RC components where durability and performance are critical.
- Anodised Green Finish — The brilliant green anodised coating protects the aluminium from corrosion and oxidation whilst delivering stunning visual impact, ensuring your Promoto-MX looks as good as it performs and the finish remains vibrant through extended use in wet UK conditions.
- Enhanced Durability — Compared to the stock injected plastic hubs, these aluminium hubs provide significantly improved strength and resilience, handling the rigours of intense rides and challenging terrains without the risk of cracking or warping that plastic components are prone to.
- Improved Trueness — The precision machining process ensures that both front and rear hubs run perfectly true, eliminating wobble and vibration that can develop in plastic hubs over time, resulting in smoother handling and more responsive cornering.
- Front and Rear Hubs Included — This complete hub set includes both front and rear components, giving you the option to upgrade your entire motorcycle's wheel retention system in one convenient purchase.
- Direct Fit Design — These hubs are engineered as a direct replacement for the factory Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM components, requiring no modification or additional parts, making installation straightforward and ensuring perfect fitment.
- Aesthetic Enhancement — Beyond the performance benefits, the machined green finish dramatically improves the visual appeal of your RC motorcycle, giving it a more premium, professional appearance that reflects the quality of your build and riding commitment.
Technical Performance
The Losi Aluminium Hub Set represents a substantial engineering upgrade over the stock plastic components found on standard Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM motorcycles. The use of 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is particularly significant—this is an aerospace-grade material chosen specifically because it offers superior strength-to-weight ratio whilst remaining machinable to the tight tolerances required for precision RC components. The CNC machining process eliminates the imperfections inherent in injection-moulded plastic, ensuring that each hub is machined to exact specifications with minimal runout. This precision translates directly into improved handling characteristics, as the perfectly true wheels will roll more smoothly and respond more predictably to steering inputs. The anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; anodising creates a hard oxide layer on the aluminium surface that dramatically increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance, essential properties for components that will endure repeated impacts, moisture exposure and the demands of UK riding conditions. For riders who frequently run their Promoto-MX or Promoto-SM motorcycles in wet conditions or challenging terrain, this upgrade provides tangible benefits in terms of longevity and reliability. The front and rear hubs work together as a matched set, ensuring consistent performance across both ends of your motorcycle. Whether you're bashing in a garden, running competitive track days, or exploring outdoor terrain across the UK, these aluminium hubs will provide the durability and precision performance that makes the difference between a good ride and an exceptional one.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these aluminium hubs fit my Promoto-MX motorcycle? — Yes, this hub set is designed as a direct fit for the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX and is fully compatible with all variants including the FXR (Red), Club MX (Blue), and the Pro Circuit models. The hubs are also compatible with the Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto motorcycle, making this a versatile upgrade for multiple Losi motorcycle platforms.
- How do these compare to the standard plastic hubs? — The factory hubs are injection-moulded plastic, which whilst adequate for casual use, can develop cracks, warping and loss of trueness over time. These aluminium hubs offer superior durability, maintain perfect trueness indefinitely, and provide a more professional appearance. The improved strength means they'll withstand harder impacts and more demanding use.
- Is installation difficult? — No, these are a direct fit component requiring no modification or additional parts. If you're comfortable with basic RC motorcycle maintenance and have the appropriate tools for hub removal and installation, fitting these should be straightforward. Consult your Promoto-MX manual for the specific hub removal and installation procedure.
- Why should I choose these over plastic hubs? — If you ride your Promoto-MX regularly, especially on challenging terrain or in competitive settings, investing in these aluminium hubs provides measurable benefits in durability, reliability and handling precision. The anodised finish also means they'll maintain their appearance through extended use, unlike plastic hubs which can become discoloured and brittle.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These hubs are suitable for any Promoto-MX owner who wants to upgrade their motorcycle's performance and longevity. They're not strictly necessary for casual, light use, but they're absolutely worth considering if you ride regularly or competitively.
- What is the colour specification? — These hubs feature a brilliant anodised green finish, providing both aesthetic appeal and enhanced corrosion protection compared to bare machined aluminium.
