Overview
The ARRMA Wing Post in Aluminium Black (2-pack) represents a premium upgrade option for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand precision engineering and lightweight performance. These CNC-manufactured components are purpose-designed for use on high-performance ARRMA vehicles, offering a significant step up from standard kit items. Whether you're running a 1/7 scale trophy truck, a 1/8 buggy, or a high-speed speed truck, these wing posts deliver the kind of quality and durability that competitive RC car UK users expect when fine-tuning their setups.
As an upgrade component rather than a complete ready-to-run RC package, the ARRMA Wing Post Aluminum (Black) is ideal for hobbyists who already own compatible ARRMA models and are looking to enhance performance through component optimisation. The shift from plastic to precision-machined aluminium represents not just an aesthetic upgrade, but a genuine functional improvement that reduces unsprung weight whilst maintaining absolute precision in fitment. This is the kind of tuning part that separates weekend bashers from those serious about maximising their RC truck or buggy's potential.
The black anodised finish ensures these posts look as good as they perform, complementing modern RC vehicle designs whilst providing proven durability against the wear and tear of regular use. Available exclusively for ARRMA platforms including the TALION, Typhon, and Kraton ranges, these wing posts are a direct replacement for factory items and represent an investment in quality that will serve your RC car UK collection for years to come.
Key Features
- CNC Machine Manufactured Aluminium Construction — Each wing post is produced using precision computer numerical control machinery, ensuring ultra-tight tolerances and perfect consistency across both posts in the pack. This level of manufacturing precision means they will fit your ARRMA vehicle with absolutely no play or movement, translating directly to improved handling and more predictable vehicle behaviour during driving.
- Anodised Black Finish for Durability and Aesthetics — The anodised coating does far more than make these posts look sharp; the hard anodised surface provides genuine protection against scratches, scuffs, corrosion and the general wear that comes from frequent RC use. Black anodised aluminium also resists colour fading from UV exposure during outdoor sessions, ensuring your vehicle maintains its professional appearance over time.
- Ultra-Lightweight Compared to Plastic Alternatives — By switching from plastic kit items to precision aluminium, you reduce unsprung weight on your RC vehicle. This seemingly small reduction has measurable effects on handling characteristics, suspension response, and overall vehicle dynamics, particularly noticeable when running high-performance setups on technical tracks or during high-speed runs.
- Direct Factory Fitment with Zero Modification Required — These posts are engineered to drop directly into your ARRMA vehicle with perfect alignment and zero need for modification, drilling, or adapting. This means installation is straightforward and your vehicle returns to service immediately without any risk of poor fitment or misalignment.
- Pack of Two Posts Included — Each purchase includes both wing posts you'll need for installation, eliminating the need to purchase multiples or search for matching pairs elsewhere.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Wing Post Aluminum (Black) represents the pinnacle of precision engineering in RC component manufacturing. Produced through CNC machining processes, these posts achieve tolerances that simply cannot be replicated with injection-moulded plastic alternatives. The material choice of aluminium delivers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, meaning you gain structural rigidity without the penalty of added vehicle weight that could negatively impact acceleration, deceleration, and handling response. The anodised finish applied to each post provides a hard oxide layer that bonds metallurgically with the base aluminium, creating a surface that resists wear and corrosion far better than paint or powder coat alternatives. This is particularly important for UK RC users who may be storing or using vehicles in varying humidity conditions. The precision fit ensures that wing posts maintain their alignment under the dynamic forces experienced during high-speed running, cornering, and rough terrain driving. Whether you're operating a 1/7 scale TALION, the high-performance Typhon 6S, or the multi-purpose Kraton platform, these posts deliver consistent performance and reliability that justifies their position as a premium tuning component for serious RC enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles are these wing posts compatible with? — These ARRMA Wing Posts fit three major ARRMA platforms: the 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4x4 RTR Speed Truck in Black, the Typhon 6S V5 BLX, and the 1/8 TLR Tuned TYPHON 6S 4WD BLX Buggy RTR in Red/Blue. Always verify your specific model number against the compatibility list before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
- What is the advantage of upgrading from plastic wing posts to aluminium? — Aluminium posts offer several concrete advantages over standard plastic items: reduced weight improves vehicle dynamics and handling response, CNC precision ensures perfect fitment with zero play, and the anodised surface resists damage and corrosion far better than plastic or paint. The result is a vehicle that handles more predictably and maintains its appearance longer with minimal maintenance.
- Are these posts difficult to install? — No. These posts are engineered for direct replacement of factory items with perfect fitment. Installation requires no modification, drilling, or special tools—they simply replace your existing posts and the vehicle is ready to run immediately.
- Why choose CNC machined parts over injection-moulded alternatives? — CNC manufacturing produces parts with extremely tight tolerances and absolute consistency, whereas injection moulding can vary between batches and often requires hand-finishing. For precision tuning components used on high-performance RC vehicles, the superior dimensional accuracy of CNC parts translates to better handling and more reliable performance.
