Overview
The Vitavon CNC aluminium 7075 Rear Body Support for DBXL E2.0 and DBXL Gas is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for Losi DBXL platform vehicles. This high-performance aftermarket part transforms the structural integrity of your RC buggy by replacing the standard plastic rear body mount and shock tower brace with a lightweight yet incredibly strong aluminium alloy construction. Whether you're running an electric DBXL E2.0 or pushing the limits with a DBXL Gas variant, this upgrade delivers the kind of durability and precision engineering that serious RC enthusiasts in the UK demand from their vehicles.
Built from aerospace-grade Alu7075 aluminium alloy, this component represents a significant step up from stock plastic parts commonly found on ready-to-run RC buggies. The material choice is not arbitrary—7075 aluminium is recognised in engineering circles for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it the ideal choice for high-stress suspension mounting points on competition-grade RC vehicles. This rear body support eliminates the flex and deformation that plagues plastic alternatives, ensuring consistent handling characteristics whether you're bashing at the local RC track or competing at the weekend.
For bashers, competitors, and RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and performance, this Vitavon upgrade offers measurable improvements in chassis rigidity and component longevity. The integrated design philosophy means you're getting both the body mount base set and shock tower brace set in one intelligently engineered component, simplifying installation whilst maximising structural benefit. This is the kind of upgrade that transforms how your DBXL E2.0 or DBXL Gas handles rough terrain, high-speed cornering, and the inevitable impacts that come with serious RC driving.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined Alu7075 Aluminium Construction — The entire component is precision-engineered from high-quality Alu7075 aluminium alloy, offering significantly enhanced strength and durability compared to the original stock plastic parts, effectively resisting deformation and wear during intense use on the track or in the field.
- Integrated One-Piece Design — This optimised one-piece integrated design combines the body mount base set and shock tower brace set into a single component, providing superior structural rigidity whilst simplifying the overall assembly compared to multi-part plastic alternatives.
- Simplified Installation Process — The integrated structure streamlines the disassembly and installation procedure, saving valuable time for users during maintenance or upgrades, making this suitable for both experienced builders and enthusiasts new to modification work.
- Complete Hardware Included — The set comes with all necessary screws for installation, eliminating the need for additional purchases and ensuring a hassle-free setup experience straight out of the box without hunting for compatible fasteners.
- Colour Options Available — Available in multiple finishes including Silver, Red, and Black, allowing you to customise the aesthetic of your DBXL E2.0 or DBXL Gas whilst maintaining the performance benefits of premium aluminium construction.
- Lightweight Performance Enhancement — Despite being substantially stronger than plastic, the aluminium construction remains weight-conscious at 44.5 grams, contributing positively to overall vehicle dynamics and handling characteristics without adding unnecessary mass.
Technical Performance
This Vitavon rear body support represents a significant engineering advancement for Losi DBXL platform users seeking to upgrade their vehicles. The use of CNC-machined Alu7075 aluminium alloy demonstrates a commitment to precision manufacturing—every component is computer-controlled to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment to your DBXL E2.0 or DBXL Gas buggy. Alu7075 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy specifically chosen for applications requiring maximum strength coupled with minimal weight penalty. This material composition delivers dramatically superior rigidity compared to the original plastic components, meaning less flex during cornering, better shock tower alignment under load, and improved overall chassis stability during aggressive driving. The integrated body mount and shock tower brace design eliminates the potential weak points inherent in multi-piece plastic systems, creating a unified structural element that distributes forces more efficiently throughout the rear chassis. At 44.5 grams, the weight penalty is negligible compared to the structural benefits gained, making this upgrade particularly attractive for competition-grade RC buggies where every gram and every fraction of a second matter. The silver anodised finish (with red and black options available) provides excellent corrosion resistance, essential for UK climate conditions where moisture and salt spray can compromise unprotected aluminium. Installation is straightforward thanks to the thoughtful integrated design—you're replacing multiple plastic parts with a single superior component, reducing complexity rather than adding it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this rear body support improve my DBXL E2.0 handling characteristics? — Yes, absolutely. By replacing flexible plastic with rigid CNC-machined Alu7075 aluminium, you'll notice immediate improvements in chassis stability, more consistent shock tower alignment, and better overall handling predictability during aggressive driving. The structural rigidity directly translates to more responsive cornering and improved traction control.
- Is this compatible with both DBXL E2.0 and DBXL Gas variants? — Yes, this rear body support is specifically designed for both the Losi DBXL E2.0 electric buggy and the DBXL Gas combustion engine variant, making it a universal upgrade solution for either platform.
- How much does the aluminium rear body support weigh? — The component weighs 44.5 grams, which is a negligible weight addition considering the massive structural benefits you gain from upgrading from plastic to CNC-machined Alu7075 aluminium.
- What colour options are available for this upgrade? — This rear body support is available in Silver (the default colour), Red, and Black, allowing you to match your preferred aesthetic whilst maintaining consistent performance characteristics across all colour variants.
- Do I need any additional screws or fasteners? — No, everything you need is included in the box. The set comes complete with all necessary screws for installation, so you can begin the upgrade immediately without sourcing additional hardware.
- Is this suitable for casual bashers or only competition racers? — This upgrade benefits any DBXL E2.0 or DBXL Gas owner seeking improved durability and handling. Whether you're a weekend basher, casual track racer, or serious competitor, the enhanced rigidity and durability of Alu7075 aluminium compared to plastic will improve your driving experience.
- How does the integrated design differ from the original plastic components? — Rather than separate body mount and shock tower brace parts that can flex independently, this integrated CNC-machined design combines both functions into a single rigid structure, providing superior load distribution and eliminating potential failure points found in multi-piece plastic alternatives.
