Key Features
- Multi-surface all-road tyre compound — The dBoots Hoons tyres are engineered for awesome traction across all surface types, from smooth tarmac to loose gravel and mixed terrain, ensuring you maintain grip and control in any driving environment without needing multiple tyre sets.
- Moulded-in belt for high-speed stability — The integrated belt structure aids tyre stability at high speeds, preventing deformation under acceleration and cornering, which means more predictable handling and faster lap times for serious racers and bashers alike.
- High-quality durable rubber construction — These tyres are manufactured from premium-grade rubber compound designed for long-lasting durability, resisting wear and degradation even with regular hard use, delivering excellent value for money over their lifespan.
- Pre-glued ready-to-fit assembly — No need to purchase separate glue, mess about with adhesive or wait for curing time; these tyres arrive pre-glued to the wheels and ready to bolt straight onto your RC car's 17mm hex hubs.
- 5-spoke multi-spoke wheel design — The distinctive multi-spoke design not only looks stunning in silver but also provides increased structural strength, distributing loads more evenly across the wheel rim during aggressive driving and extreme driving action.
- Tough nylon wheel construction — Manufactured from tough nylon material, the wheels deliver durability on all surfaces, resisting impacts and maintaining their integrity through countless bashes, jumps and hard landings.
- Professional 17mm hex fitting — The industry-standard 17mm hex connection provides strength during extreme driving action whilst remaining simple and quick to service when you need to swap tyres or rotate them between vehicles.
- High-quality foam inserts with perfect balance — The specially designed foam inserts deliver excellent support to the tyre tread whilst providing the perfect balance of aggressive grip and easy handling characteristics, giving you confidence through corners and under acceleration.
- Silver wheel colour for distinctive styling — The silver finish provides head-turning ARRMA styling that stands out on the track or at the bash spot, complementing a wide range of body colours and paint schemes.
Technical Performance
These dBoots Hoons tyres represent a complete engineering solution that goes far beyond simply bolting rubber to metal. The tyre design features a 42mm width and 100mm overall diameter, engineered to deliver optimal ground contact and rolling characteristics across the 1/7 and 1/8 scale models they fit. The inner wheel bead diameter of 3.27 inches (83mm) and outer wheel bead diameter of 2.95 inches (75mm) create a precisely engineered mounting surface that ensures consistent tyre seating and performance. The moulded-in belt system works in conjunction with the medium compound rubber to maintain structural integrity under the rigorous demands of high-speed RC driving, preventing the tyre from squirming or deforming excessively during hard cornering or acceleration. The foam inserts are no afterthought either; they are specifically formulated to support the tyre tread whilst maintaining the compliance needed for smooth handling over rough terrain. The 17mm hex fitting is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring secure mounting without excessive play or looseness. These are genuine ARRMA-engineered components, not generic budget alternatives, and that quality translates directly into performance you can feel and reliability you can depend upon, whether you're bashing at the weekend or competing in serious RC racing events throughout the UK. The pre-glued construction means the adhesive has been applied to manufacturer specifications, ensuring consistent and reliable tyre mounting without the variables introduced when hand-gluing tyres yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models do these dBoots Hoons tyres fit? — These tyres are compatible with multiple ARRMA models including the 1/7 Felony 6S AVC, 1/7 Infraction 6S AVC, 1/7 Limitless 120 8S AVC, 1/7 Limitless 6S, and various 1/8 Typhon models. Always check your specific model's fitment list to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The pre-glued mounting makes them perfect for beginners because you eliminate the complexity of gluing tyres yourself, which is one of the trickiest tasks in RC maintenance. The balanced grip and handling characteristics also make them forgiving and easy to drive.
- What is the difference between the silver and other colour options available? — The silver, white and gold options are different rubber compound colours and may offer slightly different performance characteristics, but all are engineered to the same ARRMA quality standards. The choice is largely aesthetic, though some drivers prefer different compounds for specific track conditions.
- How do I know if these tyres will fit my RC car? — These tyres feature a 17mm hex fitting and are designed for 1/7 and 1/8 scale ARRMA vehicles. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm it has a 17mm hex hub. The tyre diameter of 3.94 inches (100mm) is the industry standard for these scale classes.
- Can I use these tyres on other brands of RC cars? — Whilst the 17mm hex fitting is a standard connection, fitment depends on your vehicle's wheel dimensions and overall design. These are engineered specifically for ARRMA vehicles, so compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
- Do I need to glue these tyres? — No. These are pre-glued and ready to use straight from the box. Simply mount them to your 17mm hex hubs and you're ready to drive.
- What surfaces can I use these tyres on? — The Hoons are multi-surface all-road tyres designed for use on tarmac, gravel and mixed terrain. They're versatile general-purpose tyres rather than specialised drift or mud tyres.
