Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined from 6061-T6 Aluminium — Every swing arm is manufactured using computer numerical control machining processes on premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which is widely recognised across the RC and aerospace industries for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring your upgrade will maintain its structural integrity through countless rides and terrain challenges.
- Clear Anodised Finish for Increased Durability — The professional-grade clear anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that significantly increases the component's resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and physical wear, whilst maintaining the natural silver metallic appearance and allowing you to showcase the precision machining without compromising longevity.
- Direct Fit Compatible with Promoto-MX Models — This swing arm is engineered as a direct replacement for the stock component, requiring no additional parts, modifications, or specialist tools for installation, making the upgrade process straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels looking to enhance their existing Promoto-MX motorcycle.
- Enhanced Strength and Resilience — The transition from injected moulded plastic to precision-machined aluminium delivers a substantial improvement in structural strength, allowing your RC motorcycle to absorb impacts and handle aggressive riding conditions that might damage or flex a stock component, translating directly to improved durability during competitive racing and casual bashing sessions.
- Professional Aesthetics — Beyond the performance benefits, the clear anodised aluminium swing arm elevates the visual presentation of your Promoto-MX, giving your RC motorcycle that professional, well-maintained appearance that reflects the quality of your setup and demonstrates your commitment to premium RC hobby standards.
Technical Performance
The LOS Aluminum Swing Arm represents a significant engineering upgrade over the standard injected moulded component supplied with your Promoto-MX. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium alloy through precision CNC machining processes, this component offers superior strength and rigidity compared to plastic alternatives. The 6061-T6 specification is deliberately chosen within the RC industry because it provides an optimal balance of machinability, strength, and lightweight characteristics essential for performance-focused upgrades. The clear anodising process adds a protective layer that enhances durability against corrosion, UV exposure, and the general wear that comes from intense RC riding sessions across varied British terrains. This upgrade transforms how your Promoto-MX handles impacts and stress points during aggressive cornering, jumps, and technical riding. The precision-machined construction ensures absolute dimensional accuracy, meaning the swing arm will fit perfectly and function optimally within your Promoto-MX's suspension geometry. For UK-based RC enthusiasts who take their hobby seriously, this represents exactly the kind of component upgrade that demonstrates commitment to maintaining and improving your equipment to competition standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this swing arm fit my Promoto-MX without modifications? — Yes, this is a direct fit replacement component designed specifically for Promoto-MX models, requiring no additional parts or modifications for installation. Simply remove your stock injected moulded swing arm and install the aluminium replacement, and you'll immediately benefit from the enhanced durability and professional appearance.
- What advantages does an aluminium swing arm offer over the stock plastic component? — The aluminium upgrade delivers multiple benefits including superior strength and rigidity, better resistance to impact damage during aggressive riding, improved structural integrity under stress, enhanced corrosion resistance through clear anodising, and a more professional appearance that reflects the quality of your RC setup. For UK-based RC enthusiasts tackling challenging terrains and competitive conditions, these advantages translate into a component that will outlast the stock version and perform more reliably.
- Is the clear anodising process durable enough for regular RC use? — Absolutely. The clear anodising creates a professional-grade protective oxide layer specifically designed to resist corrosion, oxidation, UV exposure, and physical wear during regular use. This finish is commonly used in aerospace and high-performance applications where durability is essential, making it far more resilient than standard anodising and suitable for the demands of serious RC motorcycling.
- How does this upgrade compare to other aftermarket swing arm options? — The LOS Aluminum Swing Arm offers precision CNC machining from 6061-T6 aluminium with clear anodising, representing official manufacturer engineering designed specifically for your Promoto-MX model. As an authorised Losi product, you can be confident in the fitment, quality, and compatibility, whereas some aftermarket alternatives may require modifications or offer uncertain compatibility with your specific Promoto-MX variant.
- Will upgrading the swing arm noticeably improve my Promoto-MX's performance? — This upgrade primarily enhances durability and structural rigidity rather than increasing speed or acceleration. You'll notice improved handling characteristics through corners due to reduced flex in the swing arm, better crash resilience, and significantly extended component lifespan during aggressive riding sessions across varied British terrain conditions.
- Is professional installation required? — No, this is a direct replacement component that requires only basic RC hobby tools and mechanical knowledge. Most experienced RC enthusiasts will complete the installation in under 30 minutes. If you're new to RC maintenance, the straightforward design makes it an ideal first upgrade project, or you can visit our Walsall store where our team can provide guidance.
