Overview
The ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set Z-AR320165 is an essential upgrade for any RC enthusiast in the UK looking to improve their ARRMA vehicle's stability and control during high-speed runs. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher, this custom-designed wheelie bar set is engineered to prevent unwanted backflips and wheelies that can damage your brushless RC vehicle and disrupt your driving experience. Wheelie bars are a critical chassis upgrade that helps redistribute weight and maintain better traction, making them particularly valuable for those pushing their ready to run RC models to their limits.
This precision-manufactured accessory transforms how your ARRMA RC vehicle handles aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving. The wheelie bar works by creating a contact point at the rear of the chassis, preventing the vehicle from rotating excessively on its rear wheels during sudden acceleration. This is especially important for owners of high-performance ARRMA models that feature powerful brushless motors and responsive electronics. By adding this wheelie bar set to your setup, you'll notice improved stability, better weight distribution, and ultimately more predictable handling characteristics that translate into faster lap times and fewer crashes caused by flip-overs.
Built with durability and performance in mind, this wheelie bar set represents excellent value for money at just £18.99 from RC Model Shop. It's the kind of tune-up option that serious RC enthusiasts consider essential for competitive driving or serious bashing sessions, and it's compatible with ARRMA vehicles across their range.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set Z-AR320165 represents a significant enhancement to your RC car's chassis setup and driving dynamics. Built with engineering precision, this wheelie bar utilises super-tough composite construction that has been specifically designed to handle the rigorous demands of modern RC racing and bashing. The adjustable height setting is a crucial feature that allows you to dial in exactly the right amount of anti-wheelie correction for your vehicle's weight distribution, power delivery, and driving preferences. Whether you're running a high-powered brushless RC vehicle that tends to lift its rear end under acceleration, or you simply want to improve stability during high-speed manoeuvres, this wheelie bar set delivers measurable improvements in handling and control. The over-sized wheels featured on this wheelie bar are engineered to roll with minimal friction, which is essential for maintaining consistent performance and avoiding the bumping or stuttering that can occur with undersized wheels. High-tensile screws ensure that every connection point remains locked tight throughout your driving sessions, eliminating any risk of loose parts compromising performance or safety. The complete hardware package included means that installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools, making this an accessible upgrade even for those relatively new to RC vehicle maintenance and tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set stop my RC vehicle from flipping backwards? — Yes, this wheelie bar set is specifically designed to prevent unwanted backflips and excessive wheelies during high-speed acceleration. By providing a contact point at the rear of your vehicle, it helps keep the chassis level and stable, which is particularly important when you're running powerful brushless RC cars that can generate significant torque. The adjustable height setting allows you to fine-tune the level of anti-wheelie correction to match your vehicle's power delivery and your personal driving style.
- Is this suitable for all ARRMA vehicles? — This wheelie bar set is designed as a general chassis upgrade for ARRMA vehicles, though compatibility may vary depending on your specific model. We recommend checking with our team at RC Model Shop to confirm that this Z-AR320165 wheelie bar set is compatible with your particular ARRMA RC car before purchasing, as different models may have different mounting configurations.
- How difficult is it to install this wheelie bar set? — Installation is relatively straightforward and suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. The set includes all necessary hardware and mounting components, and you'll only need basic hand tools to complete the installation. The adjustable height fitting allows you to set it up to your preferences during the initial installation or fine-tune it later as you become more familiar with how it affects your vehicle's handling.
- What is the difference between a wheelie bar and other anti-flip devices? — A wheelie bar works by creating a contact point at the rear of the chassis that prevents rotation on the rear axle. Unlike some other anti-flip systems, a wheelie bar is passive and requires no electronic control or additional power sources. It's a simple, reliable, and proven solution that has been used in RC racing for decades. This ARRMA set uses over-sized wheels and composite construction to ensure smooth, consistent operation without adding significant weight or complexity to your vehicle.
- Can I adjust the wheelie bar height after installation? — Yes, the adjustable height setting on this wheelie bar set allows you to modify the contact point even after initial installation. This is useful as you dial in your vehicle's setup, experiment with different driving styles, or adjust for different track conditions. Higher settings provide less anti-wheelie correction, whilst lower settings provide more stability.
