Key Features
- Aggressive Tread Pattern — The pronounced tread design provides excellent grip and traction across all off-road surfaces, from loose dirt and sand to clay and mixed terrain, helping you maintain control and confidence during both high-speed runs and technical sections.
- Durable Material Construction — Built with quality rubber compound, these tyres are engineered for long-lasting performance and reduced wear, meaning you'll get more driving sessions out of each set compared to lower-quality alternatives available for RC buggies.
- Medium Compound Foam Inserts Included — Rather than purchasing inserts separately, this package includes two medium-compound foam inserts that complement the tyre's performance characteristics, offering the right balance of responsiveness and shock absorption for 1/8 scale buggy driving.
- Front and Rear Use — These tyres are designed to work equally well on both the front and rear axles of your RC buggy, giving you flexibility in how you set up your vehicle and simplifying inventory if you need replacements.
- Compatible with ARRMA Typhon Range — Specifically engineered for ARRMA Typhon 3S 4X4 RTR brushless buggies and Typhon 4X4 RTR brushed buggies, these tyres are listed as standard parts for multiple Typhon variants, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility.
- Requires Compatible Wheels — These tyres are designed to mount on wheels such as the #AR510120, so ensure your existing wheels are compatible or consider purchasing matching wheels to complete your setup.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA 2HO Tyre & Inserts deliver solid technical performance across the specifications that matter most to RC drivers in the UK market. With a 3.2-inch bead diameter and 4.6-inch outer diameter, these 1/8 scale tyres offer the right proportions for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance on ARRMA Typhon buggies. The 1.7-inch width provides a balanced contact patch that performs well on varied terrain without sacrificing manoeuvrability. The dBoots 2HO tread pattern is engineered specifically for off-road performance, with carefully spaced lugs that bite into loose surfaces whilst maintaining sufficient siping for controlled traction on harder pack terrain. The medium-compound foam inserts absorb impacts effectively, reducing strain on your chassis and suspension components whilst maintaining responsive handling that RC drivers expect. Whether you're running on a racing track, in your local park, or across natural terrain, the engineering behind these tyres demonstrates ARRMA's commitment to delivering genuine performance upgrades for their vehicles.
