Key Features
- CNC Machined 7075 Aluminium Construction — The front and rear hubs are precision-machined from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium, delivering exceptional strength and durability that far exceeds plastic components. This material choice ensures your hubs can withstand the impacts and stresses of aggressive riding, jumping and bashing without cracking or deforming, providing lasting performance and reliability.
- Professional Anodised Black Finish — Both hubs feature a high-quality anodised black coating that protects against corrosion and wear whilst providing a premium appearance. The anodised finish is harder than the base aluminium, offering superior scratch resistance and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your upgrade for years of use.
- Etched RC Overhaul Logo on Rear Hub — The rear hub includes an etched RC Overhaul brand logo that adds a professional, custom-built appearance to your motorcycle. This attention to detail demonstrates that you're running quality aftermarket components and gives your Promoto-MX that distinct, personalised look that sets it apart from stock builds.
- Direct Replacement Design — These hubs are engineered to be direct drop-in replacements for the standard plastic front and rear hubs on the Promoto-MX. No modification to your frame, suspension or existing components is necessary, making installation clean and straightforward with no complications or compatibility issues.
- Quick 45-60 Minute Installation — With an estimated fitting time of just 45 to 60 minutes, this is a quick and easy modification that riders can complete themselves without requiring professional assistance. The straightforward design and direct-fit nature mean you'll be back on the track or jumps in under an hour, enjoying the benefits of your upgrade immediately.
- Enhanced Strength and Durability — By replacing plastic hubs with machined aluminium versions, you gain dramatically improved resistance to impact damage, cracking and deformation. This added strength allows you to ride harder, jump higher and push your Promoto-MX to its limits without worrying about hub failure, extending the life of your motorcycle and reducing the need for replacement parts.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Aluminium Hub Set represents a significant engineering upgrade for 1/4 scale Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM motorcycles. Manufactured from 7075 aluminium—the same material used in aerospace applications—these hubs deliver a combination of strength, rigidity and light weight that simply cannot be matched by the standard plastic alternatives. The CNC machining process ensures every hub meets strict tolerances, with perfectly centred bore holes and consistent wall thickness throughout, guaranteeing reliable performance and long-term durability. The anodised black finish provides both aesthetic appeal and functional corrosion protection, keeping your hubs looking and performing like new even after extensive use. The design allows for direct installation without any frame or suspension modifications, and the straightforward bolt-on nature means you'll achieve a professional installation in approximately 45 to 60 minutes. This upgrade is ideal for riders who regularly perform jumps, land hard and subject their machines to aggressive riding styles, as the inherent strength of 7075 aluminium prevents the stress fractures and cracks that commonly occur with plastic hubs under similar conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these aluminium hubs a direct fit for my Promoto-MX? — Yes, the RC Overhaul Aluminium Hub Set is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the stock plastic front and rear hubs on the Promoto-MX. No modification to your frame, suspension or other components is required. Simply remove the old plastic hubs and install the new aluminium versions using the existing fastening points and hardware. Installation is straightforward and should take approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
- How much stronger are 7075 aluminium hubs compared to plastic? — 7075 aluminium is significantly stronger and more durable than plastic, offering superior resistance to impacts, cracks and deformation. This material is aerospace-grade and is specifically chosen for applications requiring high strength and reliability. When you're landing hard jumps, bashing through obstacles or riding aggressively, the aluminium hubs will handle the stresses far better than plastic alternatives, preventing the stress fractures and breaks that commonly occur with standard components.
- Do these hubs require any maintenance or special care? — The anodised finish provides excellent protection against corrosion, so basic care involves simply cleaning them with water and a soft cloth after use. The anodised coating is harder than the base aluminium and resists scratching and wear. Regular cleaning will maintain their appearance and ensure optimal performance over time. No special treatments or protective applications are necessary.
- Will these hubs improve my Promoto-MX's handling or performance? — Whilst the primary benefit is durability and strength rather than increased speed, the rigid construction of machined aluminium hubs may contribute to slightly improved handling consistency compared to plastic hubs that can flex under stress. More importantly, you'll gain the confidence to ride harder and more aggressively, knowing your hubs won't fail even during extreme jumps and impacts. This allows you to exploit your Promoto-MX's full performance potential without worrying about component failure.
- Are these suitable for casual weekend riders or only for competitive riders? — These hubs are suitable for any Promoto-MX rider who wants improved durability and enhanced aesthetics. Whether you're a casual weekend basher or a serious competitor, upgrading to aluminium hubs ensures your motorcycle can handle regular use without the risk of plastic hub failure. They're particularly valuable if you enjoy jumping or riding aggressively, but they're also an excellent choice for anyone who wants a higher-quality, longer-lasting machine.
- What is the difference between these RC Overhaul hubs and other aluminium hub options? — The RC Overhaul Aluminium Hub Set stands out with its professional anodised black finish and etched rear hub logo that adds custom detail and visual appeal. The CNC machining ensures consistent quality and precision, and the direct-fit design means straightforward installation without complications. These hubs represent a complete package that combines engineering quality with aesthetic refinement, making them an ideal choice for riders who demand both performance and appearance.
