Key Features
- Aerospace-Grade Alu7075 Construction — Made from high-quality aluminium 7075, this is one of the strongest aluminium alloys available and is widely used in aerospace and motorsport applications because it offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior durability under extreme stress.
- 24mm Hex Hub Design — The 24mm hexagon specification ensures compatibility with LOSI DBXL vehicles whilst providing a robust connection point that resists stripping and twisting under hard acceleration and cornering forces.
- 15mm Extended Length — The extended length design improves weight distribution across the drivetrain, enhances handling balance, and provides superior inertia management during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
- Precision CNC Machining — Every adapter is manufactured using computer numerical control (CNC) machining, ensuring perfect tolerances and consistent quality across every unit, eliminating the variations found in cast or stamped alternatives.
- Four-Piece Set — Each purchase includes four complete adapters, giving you enough for a full replacement set or allowing you to maintain spares for your RC buggy collection.
- Available in Multiple Colours — Choose from silver, black, or red finishes to match your vehicle's aesthetic, with the option to request your preferred colour during the ordering process.
- Direct Fitment for LOSI DBXL Platforms — Engineered specifically for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 and LOSI DBXL GAS BUGGY MTXL, these adapters provide perfect fitment without requiring additional modifications or adapters.
- Lightweight Performance Enhancement — Despite their exceptional strength, aluminium 7075 adapters contribute minimal weight whilst delivering maximum durability, maintaining your vehicle's performance characteristics.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Alu7075 hex adapters represent the pinnacle of drivetrain component engineering for premium 1/5-scale RC buggies. Manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminium 7075, this material is renowned in motorsport and aerospace engineering for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, superior fatigue resistance, and outstanding performance under extreme loading conditions. The 24mm hex hub size is the industry standard for LOSI DBXL vehicles, providing a secure interface that resists the forces generated during acceleration, braking, and aggressive cornering. The extended 15mm length is meticulously calculated to optimise weight distribution and improve the overall handling characteristics of your vehicle. Every adapter undergoes precision CNC machining to ensure tolerances are maintained within exacting specifications, eliminating the inconsistencies that plague lower-quality cast or stamped alternatives. These adapters are designed to withstand the demanding requirements of both electric and nitro-powered DBXL platforms, including the DBXL E2.0 and DBXL GAS BUGGY MTXL models. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who are serious about reliability and performance, investing in VITAVON's precision-engineered aluminium components is a decision that will pay dividends through improved durability and responsiveness across countless driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC vehicles are these adapters compatible with? — These CNC aluminium hex adapters are specifically engineered for the LOSI DBXL E2.0 and LOSI DBXL GAS BUGGY MTXL 1/5-scale buggies. The 24mm hex hub specification ensures perfect fitment with these platforms, and the adapters work equally well with both electric and nitro-powered versions of these vehicles.
- What does the 15mm extended length mean and why does it matter? — The 15mm extended length refers to how far the adapter protrudes from the hub, which directly affects your vehicle's handling characteristics and weight distribution. This extended length has been engineered specifically for DBXL platforms to optimise suspension geometry, improve stability during cornering, and enhance overall driving balance, making it noticeably better than standard-length adapters.
- Are these adapters suitable for both electric and nitro-powered DBXL buggies? — Yes, absolutely. The VITAVON CNC Alu7075 adapters are engineered to withstand the demands of both the LOSI DBXL E2.0 electric buggy and the LOSI DBXL GAS BUGGY MTXL nitro platform. The aerospace-grade aluminium 7075 material possesses the strength and fatigue resistance required for both applications.
- What makes aluminium 7075 better than standard aluminium for RC parts? — Aluminium 7075 is an aerospace-grade alloy that contains zinc, magnesium, and copper additions, making it significantly stronger than standard 6061 aluminium. This superior strength means the adapters resist bending, stripping, and fatigue failure far better than cheaper alternatives, providing lasting reliability even under the extreme forces generated during high-performance RC driving.
- How many adapters do I need? — The pack includes four adapters, which is a complete set for one vehicle (front and rear axles with spares). If you're maintaining multiple vehicles or want backup spares, you may wish to purchase additional sets.
- Can I choose the colour of my adapters? — Yes, these adapters are available in silver, black, and red finishes. The default colour is silver, but if you require a different colour, simply reply to your order confirmation specifying your preferred colour choice.
- What is CNC machining and why does it matter? — CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining means the adapters are manufactured using computer-controlled machines that maintain precise tolerances to within tight specifications. This results in perfect fitment, consistent quality across every unit, and eliminates the variation found in cast or stamped parts, ultimately delivering superior reliability and performance.
- Are these adapters a worthwhile upgrade for my DBXL? — If you currently use standard hex adapters, upgrading to VITAVON's CNC Alu7075 adapters represents one of the most effective ways to enhance your vehicle's durability and handling. The superior strength, precision engineering, and extended length design will provide noticeable improvements in reliability and performance, particularly if you drive aggressively or participate in competitive racing.
- What warranty or support does VITAVON provide? — VITAVON is recognised as a manufacturer of premium RC components, and these adapters are produced to exacting standards. For warranty and support information, please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or contact our team at RC Model Shop who can assist with any queries.
