Key Features

- Prevents Unwanted Wheelies and Back-Flips — Designed specifically to create stability when accelerating hard, ensuring your RC vehicle stays grounded and under control even during aggressive driving, protecting both your truck and your investment.
- Rear Bumper Mounting Design — Fits to the rear bumper of your vehicle with precision engineering, providing effective weight distribution and counter-balance to keep the rear wheels planted during acceleration.
- Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install — Arrives fully assembled and ready to mount, saving you valuable setup time and eliminating the need for complex assembly or tuning, perfect for enthusiasts who want to get on the track immediately.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set Z-ARA-2116 represents precision engineering in chassis accessories for 1/10 scale RC short course trucks. The composite material used throughout this component offers an ideal balance between weight and strength, ensuring minimal impact on your vehicle's overall performance whilst providing the rigidity needed to effectively counteract the weight transfer that occurs during hard acceleration. The precision molding process ensures consistent quality and precise fitment to ARRMA 1/10 FURY 223S BLX models across all colour variants. The mounting system utilises M3 x 10mm button head screws, which are standard fasteners familiar to any RC enthusiast, allowing for quick replacement if needed. When properly installed, this wheelie bar significantly improves stability on brushless RC trucks, particularly those equipped with high-powered 2WD drivetrains that generate considerable torque during launch. The rear-mounted design works by extending the wheelbase effectively, preventing the natural tendency of light 2WD short course trucks to lift their front wheels under acceleration. This is particularly valuable when running 3S LiPo batteries in high-performance configurations where sudden throttle application can cause dramatic weight transfer. The composite material maintains its structural integrity across temperature ranges typical in UK climate conditions, ensuring consistent performance whether you're racing in summer heat or autumn dampness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a wheelie bar and why do I need one for my RC short course truck? — A wheelie bar is a chassis accessory that extends from the rear of your vehicle and prevents front-wheel lift during acceleration. When you apply full throttle on a lightweight 2WD RC truck, the weight transfers to the rear wheels, causing the front end to lift. A wheelie bar prevents this potentially damaging wheelie by providing a contact point that keeps your vehicle stable, protecting expensive electronics and bodywork whilst improving handling consistency during high-speed runs.
- Is the ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set Z-ARA-2116 suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This wheelie bar is designed for ease of installation and requires no specialist knowledge or tools. It arrives fully assembled, and you only need to bolt it to your rear bumper using the included M3 x 10mm screws. Beginners will appreciate the straightforward fitment process and the immediate stability improvement it provides to their vehicle handling.
- Which ARRMA models is this wheelie bar compatible with? — This wheelie bar set is compatible with the complete ARRMA 1/10 FURY 223S BLX Brushless 2WD Short Course Truck range, including the green (C-ARA3521T2), blue (C-ARA3521T1), and purple (C-ARA3521T3) variants. All three colour versions share identical chassis dimensions and mounting points, so this is a universal fit across the entire FURY 223S BLX lineup.
- Is this wheelie bar effective on brushless RC trucks? — Yes, this wheelie bar is particularly effective on brushless RC trucks like the FURY 223S BLX. Brushless motors deliver smooth, consistent power delivery with high torque, which can cause pronounced weight transfer and wheeling on 2WD platforms. This wheelie bar is specifically engineered for ARRMA's brushless 2WD short course trucks and works brilliantly at preventing unwanted flips during aggressive driving.
- What material is the wheelie bar made from? — The wheelie bar is manufactured from tough composite material, precision molded for durability and longevity. Composite materials offer excellent impact resistance and maintain their structural integrity through countless bashing sessions, making them ideal for high-performance RC spares that need to withstand repeated stress and contact with terrain.
