Key Features
- High Quality Aluminium Construction — These wheel hexes are manufactured from premium aluminium material, providing an excellent balance between lightweight design and structural strength that resists bending under the stresses of aggressive cornering and high-speed runs.
- Precision Manufactured Design — Each hex is engineered with exacting tolerances to ensure easy, reliable fit to your ARRMA model, eliminating play in the drivetrain and maintaining responsive handling characteristics across different driving conditions.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed as a direct replacement for the hexes included in ARRMA kits, these spares allow you to restore your vehicle to original specification when your existing hexes become worn or damaged from heavy use.
- 17mm Specification — The 17mm size is engineered to fit specific ARRMA models and platforms, ensuring compatibility with your particular vehicle's drivetrain configuration and mounting requirements.
- Pack of Two — Supplied as a pair, these hexes provide you with enough spares to address both front and rear drivetrain requirements or stock multiple sets for extended driving sessions without downtime.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA 17mm Metal Wheel Hex components are constructed from high quality aluminium material, selected specifically for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to the dynamic stresses encountered during RC car operation. The precision manufacturing process ensures that each hex maintains tight tolerances, critical for minimising play in the drivetrain and preserving the responsive handling that ARRMA vehicles are renowned for. Aluminium construction provides superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, resisting the fatigue cracking that can occur during extended use or when exposed to rapid acceleration and aggressive cornering forces. The 17mm hexagon engagement ensures positive power transfer from your drive shafts to your wheel hubs, maintaining consistent torque delivery whether you're navigating technical terrain in a ready to run RC buggy or executing high-speed manoeuvres on open ground. These spares are engineered to maintain the performance standards expected from ARRMA's reputation for quality RC vehicles, making them suitable for everything from casual weekend bashing to more demanding competitive driving scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these wheel hexes fit my ARRMA RC car? — These 17mm metal wheel hexes are specifically designed for ARRMA models that require this specification. Check your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm your model uses 17mm hexes before ordering. The ARRMA Z-AR310910 designation ensures compatibility with designated ARRMA platforms.
- Why would I need replacement wheel hexes? — Wheel hexes can become worn, stripped, or damaged through normal use, especially during aggressive driving or when subjected to impacts and crashes. Having quality spare hexes ensures you can quickly restore your drivetrain to full working order without extended downtime.
- Are these hexes better than the stock components? — These ARRMA genuine spares are precision manufactured from high quality aluminium, offering reliability equivalent to your original kit-supplied items. Many RC enthusiasts keep spares on hand as a preventative measure to maintain consistent performance.
- How long do wheel hexes typically last? — The lifespan depends on driving intensity, terrain conditions, and how frequently you use your RC vehicle. Casual bashers might find their hexes last for many hours of use, whilst competitive drivers may need replacements more frequently. Regular inspection helps identify wear before drivetrain failure occurs.
- Can I use these as an upgrade? — These are genuine ARRMA replacement hexes designed to match original specifications. For drivetrain upgrades, you may wish to explore alternative materials or brands specifically marketed as performance enhancements, though these genuine components provide reliable baseline performance.
- What tools do I need to install new wheel hexes? — Installation typically requires basic RC car tools to remove your wheels and access the hex fasteners. The precision engineering ensures easy fit once the old hexes are removed, though you may want to apply threadlocker to the grub screws to ensure they remain secure during use.
