The combination of advanced tread pattern engineering, high-quality rubber compounds, and carefully designed foam inserts creates a tyre that excels across multiple surfaces and conditions, making it a versatile choice for diverse terrain and driving styles.
Key Features
- Multi-Surface Fortress Tread Pattern — The specially designed tread geometry provides awesome traction across a range of surfaces including sand, dirt, grass and mixed terrain, ensuring your RC desert truck maintains grip and control in all conditions rather than being limited to a single surface type.
- Pre-Glued for Trouble-Free Installation — These tyres arrive already mounted and bonded to the wheels, eliminating the need for messy glue applications or time-consuming mounting procedures, allowing you to get your RC truck on the track or trail immediately.
- High-Quality Rubber Compound — The premium rubber formulation delivers long-lasting durability that withstands extended driving sessions, reducing the frequency of tyre replacements and offering better value over time compared to budget alternatives.
- Multi-Spoke Wheel Design — The multi-spoke construction provides increased structural strength whilst maintaining stylish aesthetics, helping your RC truck stand out whilst offering the robustness needed for aggressive driving action.
- Green Colour for ARRMA Styling — The head-turning green finish perfectly matches ARRMA's distinctive visual identity, allowing you to maintain factory aesthetics or coordinate your RC car UK build with brand-authentic components.
- 17mm Hex Connection — The standard 17mm hex mount offers strength during extreme driving action and ensures easy servicing, allowing quick wheel changes without specialised tools or adapters.
- High-Quality Foam Inserts — The specially engineered foam provides excellent support for the tyre tread whilst delivering the perfect balance of aggressive grip and easy handling characteristics, translating to predictable, responsive vehicle behaviour.
Technical Performance
The dBoots Fortress Tyre Set represents the pinnacle of 1/7 scale tyre engineering, combining advanced material science with proven track-side design principles. Each tyre features an outer diameter of 5.47 inches (139mm) and measures 1.65 inches (42mm) in width, delivering optimal ground contact and rotational inertia for 1/7 scale desert trucks. The wheel bead diameter of 2.4 inches front and 3.39 inches rear (61mm and 83mm respectively) provides the versatility required for both front and rear axle fitment on compatible models. The pre-glued construction eliminates variables that can affect performance, ensuring consistency across your tyre set and between replacement sets. Built from tough nylon with high-quality rubber, these tyres are engineered to withstand the demands of competitive racing, recreational bashing, and everything in between. The foam insert technology works in concert with the Fortress tread pattern to provide responsive steering input whilst maintaining exceptional traction, crucial factors when navigating varied terrain in an RC desert truck environment.

- Are these tyres suitable for all ARRMA 1/7 desert trucks? — These Fortress tyres are specifically designed and fitment-confirmed for ARRMA Mojave 6S models including the V2 BLX variants. Compatibility is based on the 17mm hex connection and 1/7 scale specifications. Always verify your specific model number against the official fitment list before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- What makes pre-glued tyres better than standard tyres? — Pre-glued tyres eliminate assembly time and potential user error in the gluing process, which can affect tyre balance and performance. They arrive ready to install, allowing immediate use without waiting for adhesive to cure. This approach ensures consistent tyre mounting across your RC car UK fleet and reduces the need for specialised equipment like glue guns and mounting jigs.
- How durable are these Fortress tyres for regular use? — The high-quality rubber compound and tough nylon construction provide long-lasting durability for both competitive and recreational use. The pre-glued configuration also protects the tyre-to-wheel bond from degradation, extending the overall lifespan compared to conventionally glued alternatives that may experience delamination over time.

This versatility means you aren't limited to a single driving environment and can enjoy consistent performance across varied surfaces without needing multiple tyre sets.
- What is the overall diameter and width of these tyres? — The overall diameter measures 5.47 inches (139mm) with a width of 1.65 inches (42mm), providing optimal proportions for 1/7 scale desert truck performance. These dimensions work in harmony with the front and rear bead diameters of 2.4 inches and 3.39 inches respectively.
