Overview
These ARRMA Aluminum Wheel Hexes represent an essential upgrade and replacement component for serious RC enthusiasts running high-performance ARRMA vehicles across the UK. The 14.6mm hex design provides a strong and secure wheel fit that is critical for maintaining optimal drivetrain performance, whether you are bashing at high speed or competing in organised events. If you own any of the modern ARRMA brushless RC models such as the Felony 6S, Infraction 6S, Typhon 6S, or Mojave 6S, having spare wheel hexes on hand is a smart investment that ensures your ready to run RC car stays on the track or trail.
Precision engineering and quality material selection make these hexes a standout choice for RC car owners who refuse to compromise on performance. The 17mm hex size combined with the 14.6mm total length ensures perfect compatibility with ARRMA's latest generation of vehicles. Whether you are replacing worn hexes due to regular use, upgrading to a fresh set for racing, or simply building a backup set for when you need it most, these wheel hexes deliver the durability and reliability that ARRMA vehicles demand. The black anodised finish not only looks impressive on your RC buggy, monster truck, or street bash car, but also provides superior protection against wear and corrosion during intense driving sessions.
For RC hobbyists in the UK seeking genuine ARRMA spare parts that guarantee fit and function, these aluminum wheel hexes are manufactured to the exact specifications required by your vehicle. The inclusion of two hexes in each pack means you can refresh your wheel setup or maintain a complete spare set without purchasing multiple packs unnecessarily.
Key Features
- Precision Aluminum Construction — These hexes are precision manufactured from quality aluminum, which delivers a significantly reduced vehicle weight compared to plastic alternatives whilst maintaining exceptional strength and durability. The lighter overall weight improves handling characteristics and acceleration performance across all ARRMA vehicle platforms.
- Anodised Black Finish — The black anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and practical durability benefits. The anodising process hardens the aluminum surface, making these hexes highly resistant to scratching, corrosion and the wear that comes from regular wheel changes, off-road bashing, and weather exposure typical of UK RC driving conditions.
- Consistent and Secure Fit — The 17mm hex size with 14.6mm total length is engineered to provide a perfectly consistent fit across all compatible ARRMA models. This precision ensures that your wheels sit securely in place without wobbling or shifting, which is essential for maintaining straight-line stability and cornering grip during high-speed driving.
- Two Hexes Per Pack — Each package includes two wheel hexes, allowing you to refresh a complete axle or maintain a spare set. This convenient pack size means you can keep backups readily available without over-purchasing.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminum Wheel Hex 17mm represents a critical drivetrain component engineered for maximum durability and performance consistency. At 14.6mm in total length, these hexes are manufactured from quality aluminum that has been anodised to create a hard, protective black surface. The aluminum material choice is particularly important in RC vehicle design, as it provides the strength needed to withstand the tremendous forces generated during acceleration, braking, and cornering whilst keeping overall vehicle weight low. This weight reduction directly translates to improved performance metrics including faster acceleration and better overall agility when driving your ARRMA brushless RC vehicle. The precision manufacturing ensures that each hex matches exactly with the specifications required by ARRMA's transmission and drivetrain systems, meaning you achieve perfect wheel fit every single time you install them. The 17mm hex configuration is the industry-standard size used across ARRMA's range of 1/7 and 1/8 scale vehicles, including the high-performance Felony 6S, the street-oriented Infraction 6S, and the all-terrain capable Typhon 6S and Mojave 6S models. Whether you are running these hexes on a desert truck, street basher, or competition buggy platform, the consistent engineering ensures reliable performance lap after lap.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models are these wheel hexes compatible with? — These 14.6mm aluminum hexes are compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA vehicles including the 1/7 Felony 6S AVC, 1/7 Infraction 6S, 1/7 Infraction 6S AVC, 1/7 Mojave 6S, 1/7 Mojave 6S EXB, 1/8 Typhon 6S, 1/8 Typhon 6S V5, and 1/8 Typhon 6S TLR Tuned models. This broad compatibility makes them an ideal spare part for anyone running multiple ARRMA brushless RC vehicles.
- How do aluminum wheel hexes improve my RC car's performance? — Aluminum hexes are lighter than plastic alternatives, which reduces unsprung weight and improves your vehicle's acceleration and handling. The precision manufacturing also ensures a perfect, wobble-free fit that maintains wheel alignment and improves stability during high-speed driving and cornering.
- Why should I choose anodised aluminum over standard hexes? — The black anodised finish is harder and more durable than bare aluminum or plastic. Anodising creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, scratching, and wear from repeated wheel changes and outdoor use typical of UK RC bashers and racers.
- Are these hexes easy to install? — Yes, these hexes are designed to fit directly into your ARRMA vehicle's wheel hub and driveshaft system. No special tools or modifications are required beyond a standard hex driver or wrench of the appropriate size to tighten them securely.
- How many hexes do I need? — Your ARRMA vehicle uses one hex on each of the four corners, meaning you need four hexes total to complete a full setup. Since this pack includes two hexes, you would typically purchase two packs to refresh all four wheels, or keep one as a spare for emergency replacement during events.
- What is the difference between these and the original plastic hexes? — ARRMA offers both plastic and aluminum hex options. The aluminum version delivers reduced weight, superior durability, and a more premium look and feel. For serious racers and frequent bashers, the aluminum option is worth the investment due to its extended lifespan and performance benefits.
