Overview
The ARRMA Aluminium Wheel Hex, 24mm, Red (2) Z-ARA310928 is a premium replacement spare part designed specifically for 1/5 scale RC vehicles from the ARRMA Kraton range. These precision-engineered aluminium hexes are essential drivetrain components for anyone looking to maintain or upgrade their RC car performance. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast in the UK who regularly competes or a weekend basher who wants to keep their vehicle in top condition, these wheel hexes deliver the reliability and durability you need to keep your machine running smoothly on the track or off-road terrain.
Manufactured to the highest standards, these aluminium wheel hexes combine lightweight construction with exceptional strength, making them ideal for high-performance 1/5 scale RC vehicles that demand precision engineering. The red anodised finish not only gives your RC car that distinctive ARRMA look, but also provides enhanced protection against corrosion and wear. These are genuine ARRMA spares, not cheap alternatives, which means you're investing in components that are engineered to work perfectly with your vehicle's drivetrain system.
If you own an ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB brushless stunt truck or similar ARRMA models, having spare wheel hexes on hand is essential maintenance for any serious RC car UK enthusiast. These components experience constant stress during driving, and having quality replacements ensures your vehicle is always ready for action, whether you're practising at the local RC track or enjoying weekend bashing sessions.
Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Construction — These hexes are crafted from high-quality aluminium that significantly reduces vehicle weight whilst maintaining exceptional strength and durability, allowing your 1/5 scale RC car to achieve optimal performance and faster acceleration.
- Reduced Vehicle Weight — The lightweight aluminium material helps lower your RC car's overall mass, which directly translates to improved handling characteristics, quicker acceleration, and better power-to-weight ratio performance on both track and off-road terrain.
- Consistent Wheel Fit — Precision engineering ensures that the hexes maintain exact tolerances, providing a perfectly consistent fit every time you install your wheels, eliminating wobble and ensuring balanced, stable driving dynamics.
- Precision Threads for Easy Servicing — The carefully engineered threads allow fast and effortless wheel nut removal and installation, saving you valuable time during maintenance and enabling quick wheel changes at the track without struggling with tight fittings.
- Anodised Red Finish — The premium anodised red coating provides both aesthetic appeal with authentic ARRMA styling and practical benefits including increased durability and enhanced resistance to corrosion from dirt, water, and salt exposure.
- 24mm Hex Fit for Optimum Power Handling — The 24mm hex diameter is specifically designed to handle the power and torque generated by high-performance brushless motors in 1/5 scale vehicles, ensuring secure engagement and reliable power transmission without slipping or failure.
- Drive Pin Hole for Secure Fit — The integrated drive pin hole design ensures an absolutely secure connection between the hex and wheel, preventing any possibility of rotation or movement during high-speed driving or aggressive cornering manoeuvres.
- Hassle-Free Servicing — The thoughtful engineering of these components makes routine maintenance and repairs straightforward and stress-free, allowing you to spend more time driving your RC vehicle and less time struggling with problematic components.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA aluminium wheel hexes represent the pinnacle of drivetrain spare part engineering for 1/5 scale RC vehicles. The precision manufacturing process ensures that every hex meets exacting tolerances, which is critical for vehicles that regularly experience extreme acceleration, high-speed cornering, and rough terrain impacts. The choice of aluminium as the primary material is deliberately engineered to strike the perfect balance between weight reduction and structural strength—essential qualities for any 1/5 scale RC car operating at high performance levels. The 24mm hex size is specifically matched to the power requirements of brushless motor systems used in premium ARRMA vehicles, ensuring that the connection between your motor's output shaft and the wheels can reliably handle the torque and acceleration forces generated during dynamic driving. The anodised red finish is not merely cosmetic; anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, significantly improving resistance to corrosion and extending the operational lifespan of the component. The precision threading throughout these hexes ensures that your wheel nuts can be installed and removed repeatedly without cross-threading or stripping, whilst the drive pin hole provides a mechanical lock that works in conjunction with the threaded connection to create an absolutely fail-safe wheel attachment system. For any serious RC enthusiast in the UK who owns ARRMA 1/5 scale models, particularly the 8S brushless variants, these wheel hexes represent essential spares that should be in your maintenance kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these ARRMA wheel hexes compatible with my 1/5 scale RC vehicle? — These 24mm aluminium wheel hexes are specifically designed for ARRMA 1/5 scale vehicles, including the ARRMA Kraton and ARRMA Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB brushless stunt truck. Please verify your model compatibility with our product listing or contact our RC Model Shop team to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing.
- Why would I need replacement wheel hexes for my RC car? — Wheel hexes are drivetrain components that experience continuous stress during driving, particularly in high-performance 1/5 scale vehicles with powerful brushless motors. Over time, impact damage, metal fatigue, or wear can compromise these components, making replacement essential for maintaining reliable wheel attachment and preventing catastrophic failures during driving sessions.
- What advantages do aluminium hexes offer over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium wheel hexes deliver superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic components, meaning they can handle higher torque forces whilst adding minimal weight to your vehicle. The reduced weight contributes to improved acceleration and handling, whilst the superior strength provides greater durability and reliability during aggressive driving or impact situations.
- How do the precision threads help with maintaining my RC vehicle? — The precision-engineered threads ensure smooth, easy installation and removal of wheel nuts without the risk of stripping or cross-threading. This means quick, hassle-free wheel changes at the track, easier maintenance procedures, and protection against damaged threads that could render the hex unusable.
- Will the red anodised finish match my ARRMA vehicle? — Yes, the red anodised finish is specifically designed to match authentic ARRMA styling and colours across their 1/5 scale range, giving your vehicle a cohesive, professional appearance whilst providing practical corrosion resistance from the anodising process.
- How many wheel hexes are included? — This product includes 2 wheel hexes, which provides one complete pair for a single axle or allows you to replace hexes on one end of your vehicle whilst keeping spares for future maintenance needs.
