Overview
The VITAVON CNC Alu7075 V2 Rear Axle Housing is a premium upgrade component engineered for serious RC enthusiasts running Losi Super Baja Rey and Super Rock Rey 1:6 scale vehicles. If you're looking to enhance the durability and performance of your RC car UK setup, this precision-machined aluminium housing delivers the quality and strength that competitive RC bashers and scale crawler operators demand. Designed as a direct replacement for the original OEM part number LOS252071, this V2 iteration represents a significant leap forward in both material quality and engineering sophistication.
This is not simply a bolt-on part—it's a complete redesign that addresses the limitations of the stock housing whilst maintaining full compatibility with your existing Super Baja Rey 2.0, Super Baja Rey 1.0, or Super Rock Rey chassis. The VITAVON brand has built a reputation amongst UK RC car enthusiasts for delivering CNC-machined components that combine lightweight construction with exceptional rigidity. Whether you're attacking rocky terrain in a scale crawler configuration, charging through deserts with maximum power, or pushing the limits of your RC buggy on mixed terrain, upgrading to the V2 rear axle housing will transform your vehicle's handling characteristics and reliability under stress.
What sets this component apart is the meticulous attention to engineering detail. VITAVON has invested in advanced CNC 3D manufacturing processes to create a housing that not only looks visually striking with its distinctive layered finish—reminiscent of natural geological formations—but also delivers measurable improvements in structural integrity and longevity. This is the sort of upgrade that separates weekend bashers from those who demand genuine performance enhancements from their RC vehicle modifications.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined Aluminium 7075 Construction — The rear axle housing is manufactured from high-quality aluminium 7075 alloy using precision CNC 3D machining processes, which provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to stock plastic components, ensuring your RC car UK performs better whilst maintaining lightweight characteristics critical for 1:6 scale performance.
- Upgraded Bearing Specification — This V2 version features oversized 19×8×6mm bearings instead of the stock 16×8×5mm bearings, delivering reduced friction, smoother rotation, improved reliability under high-load conditions, and extended component lifespan during intense off-road running sessions.
- Enhanced Structural Design — VITAVON engineers have improved the overall design to deliver greater strength and stability throughout the rear axle assembly, which translates directly into better handling characteristics when cornering, improved traction management on technical terrain, and reduced likelihood of component failure during aggressive driving.
- Visually Distinctive Finish — The CNC 3D layering process creates a unique aesthetic appearance with visible layers that resemble natural geological formations, making your RC buggy or crawler stand out visually whilst serving the functional purpose of providing superior material density and structural consistency.
- Direct OEM Compatibility — This rear axle housing is engineered as a direct replacement for Losi original stock part number LOS252071, ensuring hassle-free installation without modification to your Super Baja Rey or Super Rock Rey chassis.
- Multi-Model Vehicle Support — Fully compatible with Super Rock Rey, Super Baja Rey 1.0, and Super Baja Rey 2.0 platforms, making this an excellent choice whether you run a 1:6 scale buggy, crawler, drift car, scale truck, or short course truck configuration.
- Included Assembly Hardware — The package includes all necessary screws and fasteners needed for complete assembly, eliminating the frustration of searching for correct hardware and ensuring you have everything required to fit this upgrade to your RC vehicle.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Alu7075 V2 Rear Axle Housing represents a significant engineering advancement in 1:6 scale RC component design. By transitioning from plastic to precision-machined aluminium 7075 alloy, VITAVON has created a component that withstands the extreme stresses generated during high-performance driving without compromising on weight. Aluminium 7075 is renowned in aerospace and motorsport applications for its superior strength characteristics and fatigue resistance—properties that translate directly into reliability for your RC car during repetitive impacts, hard cornering, and aggressive terrain navigation. The CNC 3D manufacturing process ensures consistent material density throughout the housing, eliminating the weak points that naturally occur in injection-moulded plastic parts. The upgraded bearing specification—increasing from 16×8×5mm to 19×8×6mm—reduces rotational resistance and distributes loads more effectively across a larger bearing surface, which not only improves efficiency but also extends the service life of the complete axle assembly. These technical enhancements result in measurable improvements in acceleration response, cornering grip, and overall handling predictability. For UK RC enthusiasts running their vehicles on the demanding terrain found at tracks and outdoor venues across the country, this upgrade delivers the performance gains that justify investment in quality aftermarket components. The housing is specifically engineered for the extreme demands of 1:6 scale driving, where component stresses are proportionally higher than smaller scales.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the VITAVON V2 rear axle housing compatible with my Losi Super Baja Rey? — Yes, this housing is fully compatible with Super Baja Rey 1.0, Super Baja Rey 2.0, and Super Rock Rey 1:6 scale models, and works as a direct replacement for original Losi part number LOS252071. It's designed specifically for these platforms, so installation is straightforward without chassis modification.
- What are the main improvements over the stock rear axle housing? — The V2 upgrade features precision CNC-machined aluminium 7075 construction instead of plastic, oversized 19×8×6mm bearings versus the stock 16×8×5mm specification, and an improved structural design that enhances strength and stability. These changes result in better durability, smoother operation, improved handling characteristics, and extended component lifespan.
- Will this upgrade improve my RC car's performance? — Yes, upgrading to the VITAVON aluminium housing delivers measurable performance improvements including faster acceleration response due to reduced friction in the larger bearings, improved cornering stability from the enhanced rigid construction, and better overall handling predictability. The strength increase also means the component will maintain its original geometry under stress rather than flexing like plastic housings, which translates to more consistent performance lap after lap.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is an aftermarket performance upgrade component rather than a beginner-level purchase. It's ideal for RC enthusiasts who already own a Losi Super Baja Rey or Super Rock Rey and want to enhance durability and performance. Beginners should first ensure they have a complete, functioning vehicle before considering component upgrades, though if you're running one of these compatible models and want improved reliability, this is an excellent investment.
- What is the difference between the V2 and previous versions? — The V2 version introduces upgraded oversized bearings (19×8×6mm compared to 16×8×5mm in earlier iterations) and an improved structural design that delivers greater strength and stability. These enhancements reduce friction, improve load distribution, and increase the overall durability of the rear axle assembly during intense driving sessions.
- Do I need any special tools to install this housing? — The VITAVON V2 rear axle housing is designed as a direct replacement component, so installation requires standard RC maintenance tools (screwdrivers, spanners, and potentially a hex key set depending on your specific vehicle configuration). All necessary fasteners are included in the package.
- What vehicles does this part fit? — This rear axle housing is compatible with Losi Super Rock Rey 1:6, Losi Super Baja Rey 1.0 1:6, and Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 1:6 scale vehicles. It works across buggy, crawler, drift car, scale, and short course truck configurations utilising these platforms.
