Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined Construction — These hubs are not stamped or cast; they are precision-engineered using CNC machinery to deliver exact tolerances and consistent quality. This ensures perfect wheel alignment and reduces wear on your drivetrain components.
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Material — The hubs are manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers an exceptional balance of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. This material choice ensures your hubs will withstand repeated impacts and stress cycles without cracking or bending.
- Gold Anodised Finish — The brilliant gold anodising provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection. The anodised coating increases durability by protecting the aluminium from oxidation and wear whilst delivering a striking visual upgrade that instantly transforms the appearance of your Promoto-MX.
- Front and Rear Hubs Included — This set includes both front and rear hubs, so you get a complete upgrade without needing to purchase multiple items. You're upgrading the most critical wear points on your motorcycle in one purchase.
- Direct Fit Compatibility — These hubs are engineered to fit perfectly on Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM models without requiring any additional parts, adapters, or modifications. Simply remove your stock hubs and install these precision components.
- Improved Durability and Trueness — The machined construction ensures that your wheels maintain perfect trueness and alignment, reducing vibration and improving handling. The upgraded material means these hubs will last significantly longer than stock plastic alternatives, even under extreme racing conditions.
- Professional Race-Ready Aesthetics — The gold finish combined with the precision machined appearance gives your Promoto-MX a high-end, professional look that rivals competition-grade motorcycles.
Technical Performance
The Losi Aluminum Hub Set represents a significant engineering upgrade over the standard plastic components fitted to your Promoto-MX. Manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy and finished through precision CNC machining, these hubs deliver the kind of manufacturing excellence you'd expect to find on competition-grade RC motorcycles. The 6061-T6 aluminium specification is significant — this is the same alloy used in aerospace applications, offering superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to the injection-moulded plastic alternatives. When you install this hub set, you're replacing a key wear point with components that have been engineered to withstand thousands of impact cycles without degradation. The gold anodising process adds a protective oxide layer that enhances corrosion resistance and durability, making these hubs suitable for use in varying British weather conditions. The precision CNC machining ensures that tolerances are held to tight specifications, meaning your wheels will spin truer, your handling will be more responsive, and your drivetrain will experience less stress. For riders pushing their Promoto-MX hard on challenging terrain or racing competitively, this upgrade delivers measurable improvements in reliability and performance longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these hubs fit my Promoto-MX or Promoto-SM? — Yes, this hub set is designed as a direct-fit upgrade for Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM motorcycles. No additional parts or modifications are required. Simply remove your stock plastic hubs and install these precision-machined aluminium components.
- What's the difference between aluminium and plastic hubs? — Plastic hubs are lighter but more prone to cracking under stress, particularly during aggressive riding or racing. Aluminium hubs like these are significantly more durable, maintain better trueness (wheel straightness), and provide improved handling characteristics. The trade-off is a small increase in weight, but the performance and longevity benefits far outweigh this for serious riders.
- Are these hubs suitable for beginners? — Whilst these hubs are designed for durability and performance, they're not exclusively for advanced riders. Any Promoto-MX owner who wants to upgrade their machine and extend its lifespan will benefit from this set. Beginners who are investing in their first Promoto-MX might prefer to master the basics with stock components first, but enthusiasts looking to upgrade will find tremendous value here.
- Why are these hubs gold-coloured? — The gold finish is both aesthetic and functional. The colour comes from the anodising process, which adds a protective oxide layer to the aluminium. This layer increases corrosion resistance and durability, making the hubs more suitable for use in UK weather conditions. The gold colour also gives your Promoto-MX a premium, race-ready appearance that stands out from stock motorcycles.
- Will this upgrade improve my lap times? — Whilst hub choice doesn't directly add speed, the improved trueness and reduced vibration from machined aluminium hubs can contribute to more consistent handling and faster lap times. More importantly, these hubs will last significantly longer during competitive racing, meaning you spend more time riding and less time repairing or replacing worn components.
- Are these CNC machined? — Yes, these hubs are precision-engineered using CNC machinery, not stamped or cast. This ensures exact tolerances, perfect wheel alignment, and consistent quality across every unit. CNC machining is the gold standard for precision RC parts.
- What 1/4 scale Promoto models are compatible? — This hub set is compatible with the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR (all variants including Pro Circuit, Club MX, and FXR models) and the Losi 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto Motorcycle RTR (both Battery and Charger Included and Basic versions).
