Overview
The ARRMA Aluminium Wheel Hex 17mm 14.6mm Thick Red (2) is a precision-engineered replacement component designed specifically for ARRMA RC vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated basher, a weekend racer, or someone new to the world of RC cars and trucks, having quality spare parts on hand is essential to keeping your machine running at peak performance. These aluminium wheel hexes are manufactured to exacting standards and provide the secure, reliable wheel fitment that ARRMA vehicles demand, making them an ideal upgrade or replacement for worn components.
If you're running an ARRMA model such as the FELONY 6S, INFRACTION 6S, LIMITLESS 120 8S, LIMITLESS 6S, MOJAVE 6S, TYPHON 6S, or any of the other compatible platforms, you'll appreciate the engineering quality that goes into these hexes. As an authorised ARRMA dealer here in the UK, RC Model Shop stocks genuine ARRMA parts that meet manufacturer specifications precisely. These hexes are built to withstand the demands of high-performance RC driving, whether you're pushing your vehicle through street bash courses, tackling desert terrain, or hitting the track at speed.
The red anodised finish isn't just for aesthetics—it's a functional coating that protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear whilst giving your RC car that premium, professional appearance. At just 14.6mm in total length, these hexes provide the exact fitment your ARRMA vehicle needs for consistent wheel alignment and optimal handling characteristics.
Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Construction — Each hex is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring a consistent fit every single time you install them on your ARRMA vehicle and reducing overall vehicle weight compared to plastic alternatives, which contributes to improved acceleration and handling dynamics.
- Anodised Red Finish — The anodised coating provides a protective barrier against corrosion, moisture and daily wear whilst delivering a striking red colour that complements modern RC vehicle designs and shows off your attention to detail.
- Exact 14.6mm Length Specification — These hexes measure precisely 14.6mm in total length, ensuring they fit seamlessly into your ARRMA model's wheel mounting system without any adjustment or modification required.
- Pack of Two Hexes — You receive two hexes per purchase, allowing you to service a pair of wheels or keep spares on hand for quick field replacements when bashing or racing.
- Universal ARRMA Compatibility — Designed to work across multiple ARRMA platforms including 1/7 and 1/8 scale vehicles, from high-speed street bashers to all-terrain buggies and desert trucks.
- Secure Wheel Fitting — The hex design provides a strong, secure connection between your wheel and axle, critical for maintaining stability and control during aggressive driving sessions.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminium Wheel Hex 17mm represents a significant engineering advantage over plastic alternatives commonly found in budget RC setups. Manufactured from premium aluminium alloy and finished with a protective anodised coating, these hexes deliver the kind of durability and precision that serious RC enthusiasts expect. The 14.6mm total length specification is engineered to match the exacting tolerances required by modern ARRMA platforms, ensuring that when you install these hexes, your wheels sit perfectly aligned with minimal lateral play or movement. The anodised red finish serves a dual purpose: it protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation and corrosion that could compromise structural integrity over time, whilst simultaneously providing a distinctive visual upgrade that sets your vehicle apart on the track or at the bash spot. Weight reduction is another critical performance factor—by switching to aluminium hexes, you reduce the rotating mass at each wheel, which improves acceleration response and reduces the overall load on your motor and drivetrain. This is particularly beneficial in 1/7 scale speed machines like the LIMITLESS and FELONY platforms, where every fraction of a gram matters when chasing top speed or responsive handling. The precise manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent fit across all your ARRMA vehicles, meaning no frustrating wobbling or loose wheels during high-speed runs.

- Why choose aluminium wheel hexes over plastic? — Aluminium hexes offer several performance advantages: they are significantly lighter than plastic alternatives, reducing rotating mass and improving acceleration; they provide superior precision and tight tolerances compared to injection-moulded plastic; they resist wear and damage better during aggressive driving; and they conduct heat more effectively, which helps dissipate friction during extended running sessions. For any serious RC enthusiast in the UK looking to upgrade their ARRMA vehicle, aluminium components represent a worthwhile investment.
- How do I install these wheel hexes on my ARRMA RC car? — Installation is straightforward—simply remove your wheels from your vehicle, slide off the existing hexes, and slide the new ARRMA aluminium hexes onto the wheel mounting studs. Ensure they are fully seated and secure before reinstalling your wheels. No special tools or modifications are required.
- What does the red anodised finish do? — The anodised coating serves two critical functions: it protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion, oxidation, and damage from moisture and dirt encountered during outdoor bashing or track use, and it provides an attractive red finish that enhances the visual appearance of your RC vehicle whilst showing premium build quality.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are genuine ARRMA components. We are an authorised ARRMA retailer in the UK and stock only authentic parts manufactured to the brand's exacting specifications.
