Technical Performance
The ARRMA 1/10 MT Front/Rear 2.8 Wheels represent a substantial upgrade path for enthusiasts seeking to enhance their RC truck's performance characteristics and visual appeal. The 2.8-inch diameter places these wheels in the larger category for 1/10 scale applications, delivering improved ground clearance that translates to better obstacle negotiation and reduced risk of low-speed impacts with track furniture or terrain irregularities. The black chrome finish is applied to quality aluminium or plastic construction, ensuring a balance between lightweight design and structural integrity. The 14mm hex fitting is machined to exacting tolerances, providing a secure fit that minimises wobble and maintains wheel stability even during aggressive driving manoeuvres at high velocity. These wheels are designed to accommodate standard 1/10 scale tyres in the 2.8-inch range, making them suitable for both on-road and off-road multi-surface applications. Whether you're running these on a brushless or brushed RC car, these wheels will integrate seamlessly into your drivetrain and contribute to improved handling dynamics through their precision engineering and robust construction. The two-wheel pack format means you can upgrade a single axle or maintain a spare set for track days, and the ARRMA pedigree guarantees compatibility with countless 1/10 scale platforms including popular buggy, truck, and truggy configurations.
