Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Construction — These wheel hexes are machined to exacting tolerances using high-quality aluminium, which reduces overall vehicle weight compared to plastic alternatives whilst maintaining absolute consistency in fit and function, ensuring reliable wheel attachment every single time you run your RC vehicle.
- Anodised Red Finish — The red anodised coating serves a dual purpose: it provides an aesthetically striking appearance that complements modern ARRMA colour schemes, and it offers enhanced durability by creating a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, oxidation, and damage from water, dirt, and UV exposure during outdoor RC adventures.
- 17mm Hex Size Specification — Designed with a standard 17mm hex drive, these components fit seamlessly into ARRMA's drivetrain architecture, ensuring a secure and vibration-free connection between the wheel hub and the axle system without any play or looseness.
- 16.5mm Total Depth — The precise 16.5mm thickness has been engineered to integrate perfectly with ARRMA's wheel and suspension geometry, maintaining correct track width and ensuring your RC 4x4 tracks true without rubbing or clearance issues.
- Factory Original Quality — As official ARRMA parts supplied through authorised dealers like RC Model Shop, you receive genuine components that have been tested to the same standards as those that come with your new vehicle, guaranteeing compatibility and performance.
- Two Hexes Per Pack — Each pack contains 2x red anodised aluminium wheel hexes, allowing you to replace both hexes on one axle or keep a spare pair in your RC toolbox for emergencies on the track or trail.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Wheel Hex Aluminum represents the premium standard for wheel connection components in the RC industry. Manufactured from precision-engineered aluminium rather than inferior plastic alternatives, these hexes offer superior strength-to-weight characteristics that directly impact your vehicle's acceleration, handling responsiveness, and overall performance during high-speed runs or technical trail driving. The 17mm hex size is the industry standard for ARRMA's extensive vehicle range, and the 16.5mm depth specification ensures perfect integration with ARRMA's suspension geometry and wheel offset calculations. The anodised red finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process creates a hard, thin oxide layer on the aluminium surface that provides genuine protection against chemical corrosion from salt spray, moisture, and the various contaminants encountered during outdoor RC sessions. This makes the hexes ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who may encounter damp weather conditions, mud, and challenging terrain. The precision manufacturing tolerances ensure that each hex maintains consistent fit characteristics, eliminating the wobble or play that can develop in lower-quality components, which is critical for maintaining accurate wheel alignment and suspension geometry throughout your RC vehicle's lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models are compatible with the Wheel Hex Aluminum 17mm Z-AR310484? — These wheel hexes are listed as standard parts for numerous ARRMA vehicles including the 1/7 scale BIG ROCK 6S, FELONY 6S, FIRETEAM 6S, LIMITLESS 120 8S, and LIMITLESS 6S, plus 1/8 scale models including KRATON 6S (multiple versions), NOTORIOUS 6S, OUTCAST 6S, and TALION 6S EXB. Check the manufacturer's compatibility list to confirm fitment for your specific model variant.
- Why would I need replacement wheel hexes for my RC vehicle? — Wheel hexes are subjected to constant rotational stress and impacts during RC driving, especially in high-performance brushless vehicles running on 6S or 8S LiPo batteries. Over time, plastic hexes can strip, crack, or develop play. Upgrading to these precision-machined aluminium hexes eliminates these issues and provides superior durability for serious RC bashers and racers in the UK.
- What is the benefit of aluminium hexes over plastic hexes? — Aluminium hexes are significantly stronger and more durable than plastic, maintaining their shape and grip integrity even after thousands of drive cycles. They also reduce unsprung weight, which improves suspension responsiveness and handling. The anodised finish provides corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor UK RC driving.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are official ARRMA parts sourced through authorised distributors. The part number AR310484 matches ARRMA's original specification, and the Horizon Hobby orderable number ARAC9416 confirms authenticity. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you receive genuine factory components with full compatibility assurance.
- Can I use these hexes as a direct replacement on my existing wheels? — Yes, these hexes are designed as direct replacements for the hexes supplied on new ARRMA vehicles. Simply remove your old hexes using appropriate tools and install these new ones using the same 17mm hex drive on your existing wheels and hubs.
