Key Features
- Multi-Surface Chunky Tread Pattern — The Copperhead2 MT design features an aggressive chunky tread that delivers awesome traction across all conditions, whether you're driving on grass, dirt, concrete or mixed terrain, ensuring consistent grip in any environment your RC truck encounters.
- High-Quality Rubber Compound — Manufactured from premium rubber materials, these tyres offer long-lasting durability that resists wear and degradation, providing excellent value and extended service life compared to cheaper alternatives on the market.
- Pre-Glued Construction — The tyres come pre-glued to the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming and messy process of tyre gluing and allowing trouble-free fitting and servicing whenever you need to replace or rotate your tyres.
- Multi-Spoke Wheel Design — The wheels feature an attractive multi-spoke design that not only provides head-turning ARRMA styling but also delivers increased strength to handle the extreme demands of high-power 6S brushless driving.
- Tough Nylon Construction — The wheel hubs are manufactured from tough nylon material that guarantees durability on all surfaces, from smooth tarmac to rough rocky terrain, without cracking or breaking under stress.
- Black Finish Styling — The smart black colour of both wheels and tyres creates an aggressive, professional appearance that complements the distinctive ARRMA aesthetic and looks fantastic on any modern RC truck.
- 17mm Hex Hub Connection — The robust 17mm hex connection provides strength and security during extreme driving action, whilst making wheel changes quick and straightforward for easy maintenance and servicing between runs.
- High-Quality Foam Inserts — Each tyre is equipped with specially designed foam inserts that provide excellent support for the tyre tread, ensuring the rubber maintains its shape and contact patch even under aggressive driving and high cornering forces.

Technical Performance
These dBoots Copperhead2 MT tyres represent a significant step up in performance for 1/8 scale 6S brushless RC trucks, combining advanced rubber compound chemistry with precision foam insert engineering to deliver class-leading traction and handling. The 3.8-inch (97mm) wheel bead diameter with 3.3-inch (81.5mm) width creates the optimal contact patch for multi-surface driving, whilst the overall diameter of 6.5 inches (169mm) ensures proper ride height and suspension geometry for trucks like the ARRMA Kraton 6S, Notorious 6S, Outcast 6S EXB and Fireteam 6S 4x4 RTR brushless models. The multi-spoke wheel construction in tough nylon provides the structural rigidity needed to handle the extreme acceleration, braking and cornering forces generated by modern 6S LiPo-powered brushless ESCs and motors, whilst the 17mm hex interface offers superior durability compared to smaller hex systems. The chunky tread pattern has been carefully designed to bite into multiple surface types simultaneously—whether that's the grass of your local RC field, the dirt of a purpose-built track, or mixed conditions with concrete and loose material—giving you consistent performance regardless of where you choose to drive. The high-quality rubber compound resists tearing and degradation even when driven aggressively at high speeds, which translates to significantly longer tyre life and better value for serious RC enthusiasts who put in regular running time.
