Technical Performance
The ARRMA 1/8 Buggy Wheel 17mm Hex Gun Metal (2) delivers uncompromising performance through careful engineering and quality material selection. The tough nylon construction provides the perfect balance between weight savings and durability, essential characteristics for 1/8 scale RC buggies where every gram counts but components must withstand tremendous forces. The 17mm hex fitting represents industry-standard engineering for this scale class, providing a secure mounting interface that won't slip or loosen during intense driving sessions. The 3.3 inch (83mm) wheel bead diameter and 1.7 inch (42mm) width create a wheel that's proportionally correct for 1/8 scale buggies, ensuring proper ground clearance, suspension geometry and overall vehicle balance. The multi-spoke design isn't merely cosmetic; the spoke configuration distributes loads effectively across the wheel structure, reducing stress concentration and extending component life. These wheels work seamlessly with genuine ARRMA tyres such as the dBoots '2HO' Tire & Inserts (AR520053), which are the recommended fitment for optimal performance and handling characteristics. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your buggy to its limits or a weekend basher enjoying recreational driving, these wheels provide the foundation for reliable, consistent performance across all driving conditions.
