Overview
The ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set (AR320366) is an essential upgrade for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to push their vehicles to the limit without risking catastrophic damage. Whether you're operating a high-performance brushless RC truck, buggy, or stunt vehicle, wheelies are an exhilarating part of RC driving — but they come with significant risk. This purpose-engineered wheelie bar prevents your vehicle from flipping over backwards during aggressive acceleration and high-speed manoeuvres, protecting your investment and keeping your RC car UK experience safe and fun.
Designed specifically for ARRMA's range of 1/8 scale 6S brushless vehicles, this wheelie bar set delivers professional-grade stability without compromising the aggressive styling or performance characteristics that make ARRMA trucks and buggies so popular with UK RC bashers and racers. The product has earned a solid 4.7 out of 5 customer rating, reflecting genuine user satisfaction and real-world performance in demanding driving conditions. If you own an ARRMA Kraton, Notorious, Outcast, Talion, or Typhon in any 6S variant, this wheelie bar is a must-have safety accessory that will transform how confidently you can drive.
Ready to run RC vehicles demand ready-to-fit accessories, and ARRMA delivers exactly that. This wheelie bar set arrives pre-assembled and ready to install, meaning you won't spend hours tinkering before you can get back to bashing. The engineering is straightforward but effective: a sturdy contact point that drags lightly on the ground during extreme wheelies, preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards whilst remaining unobtrusive during normal driving. For anyone serious about maximising their RC car UK experience, this is an affordable, reliable upgrade that addresses one of the most common failure modes in high-powered RC bashers.
Key Features
- Composite Plastic Construction — Manufactured from super-tough composite plastic material, the wheelie bar delivers exceptional durability and longevity whilst remaining lightweight enough not to impact vehicle performance or handling characteristics. Composite plastic is chosen specifically for its ability to absorb impact energy during contact with the ground, protecting both the bar and the vehicle's chassis from damage.
- Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install — Convenience is built in: this wheelie bar set arrives fully assembled, requiring no additional setup, adjustment, or parts sourcing. Simply mount it to your vehicle's existing wing mount and you're ready to wheelie safely. This ready-to-fit approach means you can upgrade your vehicle in minutes rather than hours.
- Rubber Wheels — The wheelie bar features rubber wheels that roll smoothly along the ground during wheelies, distributing contact forces and reducing friction that could cause the vehicle to tip or behave unpredictably. Rubber wheels also help cushion the impact of contact and protect the track or driving surface from damage.
- Wing Mount Compatibility — Designed to attach securely to your vehicle's wing mount, the wheelie bar integrates seamlessly with ARRMA's standard chassis design. This mounting location is engineered to keep the wheelie bar positioned perfectly for maximum stability during backwards rotation without interfering with normal driving dynamics.
- Stability and Anti-Flip Protection — The primary function is simple but critical: preventing your vehicle from flipping over backwards during wheelies. When you're accelerating hard and lifting the front end, the wheelie bar's contact point with the ground arrests backward rotation, protecting your expensive brushless motor, ESC, and chassis from impact damage.
- High-Speed Stability — At the extreme speeds delivered by 6S LiPo brushless systems, even minor instabilities can result in loss of control. This wheelie bar creates a safety net, allowing you to explore your vehicle's performance envelope with confidence, knowing that aggressive acceleration won't result in an uncontrolled backwards flip.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set is engineered for vehicles in the ultra-high-performance segment of the RC hobby. It's designed specifically for 1/8 scale ARRMA 6S brushless trucks and buggies — vehicles powered by serious 6S LiPo batteries and high-KV brushless motors capable of extraordinary acceleration and speed. The composite plastic construction provides the ideal balance between weight and durability; it's rigid enough to handle sustained contact with the ground during repeated wheelies, yet flexible enough to absorb impact energy without cracking or shattering. The rubber wheels are critical to performance: they allow smooth rolling contact that prevents the wheelie bar from digging into the ground, which would cause unpredictable vehicle behaviour. The overall design philosophy is elegantly simple: the wheelie bar's contact point (via the rolling wheels) sits just behind the vehicle's centre of gravity. When the vehicle rotates backwards during a wheelie, the wheels engage the ground, creating a mechanical stop that prevents further rotation. This is far more effective and safer than relying on driver skill alone to control the vehicle during extreme manoeuvres. For drivers operating ready to run RC vehicles, or vehicles they've upgraded with performance components, this wheelie bar represents a modest investment in safety and protection that pays dividends in confidence and reduced repair costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA vehicles is this wheelie bar compatible with? — This wheelie bar set is compatible with multiple 1/8 scale ARRMA 6S brushless models including the Kraton 6S (all variants: roller, RTR, EXB AVC), Notorious 6S 4x4 RTR, Outcast 6S 4x4 RTR and Limited Edition, Outcast 6S EXB AVC, Talion 6S 4x4 RTR, Typhon 6S 4x4 RTR, Typhon 6S EXB AVC, and Typhon 6S TLR Tuned. Check the manufacturer compatibility list on the ARRMA website to confirm your specific model variant is supported.
- Is the wheelie bar easy to install? — Yes, absolutely. The wheelie bar arrives pre-assembled, so installation is simply a matter of mounting it to your vehicle's wing mount using the provided hardware. Most users report installation taking only a few minutes, making it an ideal upgrade that doesn't require technical knowledge or special tools. This is exactly what you'd expect from a quality ready to run RC accessory.
- Do I need any other parts to make this work? — No. The wheelie bar set is supplied complete and fully assembled. You don't need to source additional components, adjusters, or parts. Simply mount it to your vehicle and you're ready to wheelie safely.
- Will this affect my vehicle's normal driving performance? — No. When not actively wheelying, the wheelie bar sits passively and does not interfere with normal driving dynamics, acceleration, braking, or cornering. It only engages during extreme rear-wheel-lift manoeuvres, so everyday driving remains completely unaffected.
- How durable is the composite plastic construction? — Very durable. ARRMA specifically chose super-tough composite plastic because it withstands repeated impacts and ground contact without cracking or becoming brittle. The rubber wheels also help absorb shock, extending the wheelie bar's working life significantly. Users report that these wheelie bars last through extensive use without degradation.
- What's the difference between this wheelie bar and aftermarket alternatives? — This is the official ARRMA factory wheelie bar, engineered specifically for ARRMA vehicles and tested to work perfectly with their chassis geometry and mounting points. Factory parts are always the safest choice because they're designed by the manufacturer to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle, and they're supported by ARRMA's quality assurance and customer service.
- Can I use this on other RC brands' vehicles? — This wheelie bar is specifically designed for ARRMA 1/8 scale 6S brushless vehicles and their wing mount configuration. Fitting it to other brands is not recommended, as the mounting geometry and contact point positioning would be incorrect, potentially creating unstable or unsafe driving conditions.
