Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Construction — These wheel hexes are engineered from high-quality aluminium that reduces overall vehicle weight whilst maintaining structural integrity, allowing your RC car to achieve better performance and handling characteristics on the track or trail.
- Anodised Red Finish — The hard anodised red coating not only gives your RC vehicle a striking appearance that matches ARRMA's distinctive styling, but also provides increased durability and resistance to wear, corrosion and the elements.
- 17mm Hex Compatibility — The 17mm hex size ensures excellent compatibility with a wide selection of aftermarket wheels available for ARRMA vehicles, giving you flexibility in customising your RC buggy or truck exactly as you want it.
- Precision Manufactured Threads — The threaded design has been engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring that wheel nuts can be removed and installed quickly and easily without stripping or excessive force, saving you time during pit stops and maintenance.
- Precision Drive Pin Hole — The drive pin hole has been manufactured to tight specifications to ensure a secure fit between the hex and the wheel, eliminating wobble and providing hassle-free servicing without alignment issues.
- Two Hexes Per Pack — Each pack includes two wheel hexes, giving you a complete set for both sides of your vehicle or spares for future replacement needs.
Technical Performance
These aluminium wheel hexes represent the engineering standard that ARRMA vehicles are known for. Manufactured to exact specifications, the precision-engineered design ensures perfect wheel fit and eliminates the inconsistencies sometimes found in lower-quality alternatives. The aluminium material choice is critical—whilst strong enough to handle the demands of high-performance brushless RC buggies and trucks, it remains significantly lighter than steel alternatives, contributing to reduced unsprung weight that improves acceleration, braking and overall responsiveness. The anodised red finish is not merely cosmetic; anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer, making these hexes far more resistant to corrosion, scratches and UV damage than bare aluminium or painted alternatives. This is particularly important for RC enthusiasts in the UK, where moisture and variable weather conditions can quickly degrade inferior components. The 17mm hex specification is the standard size used across numerous ARRMA models including the popular 1/8 scale TYPHON range (including the TYPHON 4X4, TYPHON 3S 4X4, and TYPHON MEGA models), ensuring broad compatibility with both stock and upgraded wheel options. The precision-threaded design accommodates standard wheel nuts smoothly, whilst the carefully engineered drive pin hole prevents the lateral movement that can develop with inferior manufacturing tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models do these 17mm wheel hexes fit? — These hexes are listed as standard parts for the TYPHON 4X4 RTR models (both brushless and brushed versions), including the TYPHON 223S, TYPHON 3S in both black and red variants, and the TYPHON MEGA 665. The 17mm hex size also provides compatibility with many other ARRMA vehicles and aftermarket wheel options.
- Are these suitable as a replacement part for my RC buggy? — Yes, absolutely. These are genuine ARRMA replacement components manufactured to the same precision standards as the original parts supplied with ARRMA buggies and trucks, making them ideal for replacing worn or damaged hexes on your ready to run RC vehicle.

- What's the advantage of aluminium over other materials? — Aluminium offers the ideal balance of strength and weight. It's significantly lighter than steel, which reduces unsprung weight and improves your vehicle's acceleration and handling, whilst remaining rigid enough for the demands of high-performance RC buggies and trucks. The anodised finish also provides superior corrosion resistance compared to painted or bare alternatives.
- Why choose precision manufactured hexes? — Precision manufacturing ensures perfect wheel fit with minimal wobble, smooth operation of wheel nuts, and consistent performance across both front and rear wheels. This translates to better handling, easier maintenance and a more professional feel when driving your RC vehicle.
