These pre-mounted, pre-glued wheels come ready to fit straight onto your ARRMA 6S vehicle, eliminating the need for additional assembly or adhesive work.

The combination of advanced tyre technology, quality wheel construction, and precision engineering makes this an excellent choice for RC car UK enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on performance. These tyres are particularly valued by drivers of the ARRMA TALION 6S EXB, a recognised 1/8 scale stadium truck platform that demands reliable, high-speed tyres.
ARRMA's dBoots Katar tyres have earned a strong reputation in the RC community for delivering consistent performance across multiple surfaces. The belted construction provides the stability needed for high-speed runs, whilst the multi-surface tread pattern ensures aggressive grip in varied conditions. For anyone running a ready to run RC truck or looking to upgrade their current setup with quality replacements, this pre-assembled solution offers convenience without sacrificing performance.
Key Features
- Molded-In Belt Construction — The integral belt design within each tyre significantly enhances sidewall stability during acceleration, braking and high-speed cornering, allowing you to push your RC truck harder without fear of tyre deformation or loss of grip at the critical moments that determine race results.
- Multi-Surface Katar Tread Pattern — The proven Katar tread design is engineered to deliver excellent traction across a wide variety of surfaces including asphalt, concrete, dirt and grass, making these tyres genuinely versatile for both track days and outdoor bashing sessions without requiring constant changes.
- High-Quality Rubber Compound — ARRMA uses premium rubber formulation that resists wear and maintains consistent grip characteristics over extended use, meaning you get more driving time from each set before noticeable performance degradation occurs, saving you money in the long term.
- Pre-Glued Ready-to-Run Design — These tyres arrive permanently bonded to the wheels using professional-grade adhesive, eliminating messy glue work and the uncertainty of home application, whilst ensuring perfect tyre-to-wheel seating that maximises performance and safety during high-speed driving.
- Aerodynamic Dish Wheel Design — The wheels feature an attractive stepped dish profile that not only looks fantastic on your RC vehicle but also provides increased structural strength without adding unnecessary weight, helping your truck handle impacts and extreme driving action better.
- Tough Nylon Wheel Construction — The wheels are manufactured from durable nylon material selected specifically for its strength and impact resistance, ensuring they withstand the punishment of bashing, racing and everyday driving without cracking or breaking under stress.
- Professional Black ARRMA Styling — The glossy black finish with ARRMA branding creates a striking aesthetic that complements modern RC vehicles whilst the colour choice helps dissipate heat more effectively than lighter finishes.
- 17mm Hex Drive System — The industry-standard 17mm hex interface provides the strength needed during extreme driving action, offering a larger contact surface between the wheel and vehicle hub compared to smaller hex sizes, whilst remaining convenient for quick wheel changes during maintenance and servicing.
- High-Quality Memory Foam Inserts — Precision-engineered foam inserts are pre-installed in each tyre, specifically formulated to provide outstanding memory return characteristics that maintain consistent handling throughout extended driving sessions whilst balancing aggressive grip with predictable, manageable handling traits.
- Perfect Grip-to-Handling Balance — The foam insert design creates an optimal sweet spot between providing enough grip for serious driving performance and maintaining forgiving, confidence-inspiring handling characteristics that allow drivers of all skill levels to push the vehicle's limits.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA dBoots Katar T Belted 6S Tire Set represents a carefully engineered solution for 1/8 scale truggy and stadium truck applications, specifically optimised for the ARRMA TALION 6S EXB platform. The belted tyre construction provides measurable improvements in sidewall rigidity compared to traditional unbelted designs, particularly beneficial during the high-speed acceleration and braking scenarios common in competitive RC driving. The wheels measure 4.13 inches (105mm) in bead diameter with a width of 2.24 inches (57mm), creating an overall diameter of 5.75 inches (146mm) that provides excellent ground clearance and traction characteristics for stadium truck and truggy-class vehicles. The 17mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with modern ARRMA 6S vehicles whilst offering superior strength compared to smaller hex standards. The nylon wheel construction combined with the premium rubber tyre compound creates a package capable of withstanding the demands of high-powered brushless RC vehicles. The pre-glued assembly eliminates variables in tyre seating, ensuring every set performs identically out of the box without the common problems associated with hand-glued tyres such as air pockets or uneven adhesive distribution. Whether you're driving on smooth concrete, rougher asphalt surfaces, or outdoor terrain, the Katar multi-surface tread pattern maintains consistent grip characteristics across all conditions. The high-quality foam inserts provide the perfect foundation for precise handling, allowing drivers to maintain control during aggressive cornering whilst still achieving excellent acceleration traction.
