Key Features
- CNC Machined Construction — Every component is precision-engineered using Computer Numerical Control machines, guaranteeing exact dimensions and perfect fitment to your LOSI DBXL E2.0, which means no wobbling, no misalignment, and reliable performance lap after lap.
- Aluminium 7075 Material — This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is renowned for its exceptional strength, rigidity, and lightweight properties, making it the preferred choice for high-performance RC components where durability without added weight is essential for maintaining speed and handling characteristics.
- Front and Rear Complete Set — Rather than purchasing shock tower mounts separately for front and rear, this package includes both, saving you money and ensuring consistency in your upgrade path whilst simplifying the installation process.
- Silver Titanium Finish — The distinctive colour treatment not only looks professional and purposeful but also provides subtle corrosion resistance, helping your investment maintain its appearance and structural integrity through seasons of use.
- LOSI DBXL E2.0 Specific Design — These mounts are engineered exclusively for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 platform, meaning every detail has been optimised for this particular vehicle's geometry, ensuring perfect fitment and allowing you to leverage the full potential of your RC buggy without compromise.
- Enhanced Chassis Rigidity — Upgrading to premium shock tower mounts significantly improves overall chassis rigidity, reducing flex during aggressive cornering, jumps, and high-speed runs, which translates directly to more predictable handling and better control in competitive racing conditions.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Alu 7075 shock tower mount assembly represents a significant step up from standard OEM plastic components commonly found on stock LOSI DBXL E2.0 vehicles. The use of Aluminium 7075 alloy is particularly significant in the RC world, as this material offers a tensile strength of approximately 570 MPa combined with excellent fatigue resistance, making it ideal for components subjected to repeated impact and stress cycles. CNC machining produces tolerances typically within ±0.1mm, ensuring that each mount fits perfectly without gaps or misalignment that could compromise suspension geometry. The front and rear mounting points are engineered to work in harmony with the DBXL E2.0's double-wishbone suspension system, maintaining correct shock angles and allowing the suspension to travel through its full range of motion without binding or interference. For 1:5 scale RC buggies running at high speeds and landing jumps with significant forces, the rigid construction of these aluminium mounts helps distribute loads more efficiently than plastic alternatives, protecting expensive suspension components and extending overall chassis lifespan. The silver titanium finish is both aesthetically appealing and functionally beneficial, providing a thin layer of corrosion resistance that's particularly valuable in the UK's damp climate, ensuring your upgrade maintains its structural integrity and appearance through multiple seasons of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these shock tower mounts fit my LOSI DBXL E2.0? — Yes, these mounts are engineered specifically for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 platform. They are designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's existing suspension geometry and mounting points, ensuring perfect fitment without modification or adapters.
- What benefits will I notice after upgrading to these aluminium shock tower mounts? — You'll experience improved chassis rigidity, more responsive handling characteristics, better suspension geometry maintenance under load, and enhanced durability. The reduction in flex means your DBXL E2.0 will feel more planted through corners and more predictable over jumps, which is particularly valuable if you're racing competitively or pushing your RC buggy hard on technical terrain.
- Are CNC machined parts really worth the investment? — Absolutely. CNC machining produces components with precision tolerances that are impossible to achieve through injection moulding or other mass-production methods. This precision directly translates to better fitment, improved performance, and longer lifespan, making these parts a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about their RC car UK setup.
- Can I use these mounts on a DBXL non-E2.0 model? — These mounts are specifically designed for the LOSI DBXL E2.0. Whilst some components may be compatible across DBXL variants, we recommend checking compatibility with VITAVON or your retailer before purchasing if you have a different DBXL model to ensure proper fitment.
- How difficult is installation? — Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. The mounts include all necessary fasteners, and fitment is designed to be direct without requiring modification to your vehicle. However, suspension work always requires care and attention to detail, so if you're new to RC maintenance, consider consulting your DBXL E2.0 manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts.
- Will these improve my top speed? — Whilst these mounts won't directly increase your DBXL E2.0's top speed, they will improve chassis rigidity and handling response, potentially allowing you to maintain higher speeds through technical sections and maintain better control over rough terrain, indirectly contributing to faster overall performance.
- Is the silver titanium colour standard? — Yes, silver is the default colour. If you require a different colour finish, you can contact VITAVON or your retailer to confirm available options and request a specific colour when placing your order.
