Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined Construction — Both the front and rear hubs are precision CNC machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, ensuring consistent tolerances, superior structural integrity, and reduced flex during aggressive riding. This manufacturing method guarantees that each hub meets exacting standards and delivers the trueness your Promoto-MX deserves for optimal handling and performance.
- Anodised Silver Finish for Durability and Aesthetics — The brilliant silver anodised coating provides enhanced protection against corrosion and wear whilst delivering a striking visual upgrade that transforms the appearance of your RC motorcycle. The anodised layer is significantly harder than bare aluminium and resists scratches, fading, and weathering far better than painted alternatives, ensuring your hub set maintains its pristine look through countless rides.
- Complete Front and Rear Hub Set — This package includes both the front and rear hubs, eliminating the need to purchase separate components or make multiple orders. You get everything required for a full hub upgrade in one convenient package, making it straightforward to transform your entire Promoto-MX chassis at once.
- Direct Fit Replacement for Promoto-MX — Engineered as an official Losi part, the aluminium hub set is a seamless direct replacement for the stock injected moulded hubs. No drilling, modifying, or adapting is required—installation is straightforward and requires no additional parts, making this upgrade accessible to riders of all skill levels.
- Increased Durability and Resilience — The transition from plastic to 6061-T6 aluminium represents a dramatic increase in material strength and durability. Your RC motorcycle can now handle the rigours of intense rides, aggressive manoeuvres, and challenging terrains with enhanced confidence, reducing the likelihood of hub damage and extending the lifespan of your Promoto-MX platform.
- Improved Wheel Trueness — Aluminium hubs provide superior rigidity compared to injection-moulded plastic alternatives, resulting in wheels that maintain their trueness far more effectively throughout extended riding sessions. This means more consistent handling characteristics, improved cornering response, and reduced vibration, all of which contribute to a noticeably better riding experience across the board.
Technical Performance
