Overview
The RPM 6S HD Wheelie Bars are essential upgrades for ARRMA 6S RC car enthusiasts who want to add genuine wheelie bar functionality to their high-performance machines. These purpose-engineered wheelie bars are specifically designed to work exclusively with the RPM HD Wing Mount systems, transforming your RC car setup and giving you complete confidence when performing aggressive wheelies and stunts. Whether you're a dedicated basher, a weekend warrior, or an experienced RC driver in the UK looking to push your ARRMA 6S to its limits, these wheelie bars deliver the protection and performance you need to keep your expensive wings safe from damage during those moments when your throttle hand gets just a little too enthusiastic.
RPM has engineered these HD Wheelie Bars using their trademark blend of incredibly strong engineering-grade nylons, ensuring durability that matches the punishment your RC car will endure during intensive driving sessions. The design bolts directly to RPM's HD Wing Mounts systems, creating a seamless integration that doesn't compromise the rigidity or structural integrity of your chassis. If you're serious about your ready-to-run RC car and want to maximise both performance and longevity, these wheelie bars represent a smart investment that protects your investment.
Unlike generic aftermarket options available online, the RPM 6S HD Wheelie Bars are engineered specifically for ARRMA 6S vehicles that use RPM's advanced HD Wing Mount systems. This precision compatibility ensures perfect fitment and reliable operation, giving you peace of mind that comes with purpose-built RC components from an established manufacturer.
Key Features
- Exclusive HD Wing Mount Compatibility — These wheelie bars bolt directly to RPM's HD Wing Mount systems exclusively, creating a fully integrated protection system that cannot be achieved with standard stock wing mounts or generic aftermarket alternatives, ensuring you get the exact performance and durability RPM engineered into the system.
- Comprehensive 5-Spoke Wheelie Bar Wheels Included — The kit comes complete with a sweet set of five-spoke wheelie bar wheels so you can start using the system immediately without purchasing additional components, though you can also use wheels and rocker posts from the stock ARRMA #320366 Wing Mounts if you already own them since they are cross-compatible with RPM HD Wing Mounts.
- Advanced Engineering-Grade Nylon Construction — Manufactured from RPM's trademark blend of incredibly strong nylons, these wheelie bars combine lightweight properties with exceptional durability and impact resistance, making them far tougher than plastic alternatives available on the RC market in the UK.
- Wing Protection During Aggressive Wheelies — These wheelie bars provide essential protection for your expensive ARRMA chassis wing during nose-high moments when your throttle input gets aggressive, preventing costly grinding damage that can occur when pulling wheel stands without proper wheelie bar support.
- Complete Installation Package — The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive assembly instructions, meaning you can have your wheelie bars installed and ready for action within minutes of opening the box without hunting for additional fasteners or spending time deciphering confusing diagrams.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty — RPM backs these parts with their recognised limited lifetime warranty against breakage, providing long-term peace of mind that your investment is protected against manufacturing defects and normal usage issues.
Technical Performance
The RPM 6S HD Wheelie Bars represent the culmination of precision engineering specifically tailored for ARRMA 6S vehicles running RPM's advanced HD Wing Mount systems. These wheelie bars are machined and moulded with exceptional attention to detail, using materials and construction techniques that ensure they can withstand the extreme forces generated by high-powered brushless RC cars. The engineering-grade nylon blend used throughout the construction provides the perfect balance between weight savings and structural rigidity, ensuring that the wheelie bars remain perfectly aligned and functional even after repeated hard landings and aggressive use. The five-spoke wheel design maximises ground contact and stability when the wheelie bars engage, preventing the characteristic wobble and chatter that occurs with inferior designs. The mounting interface has been designed to eliminate any play or flex between the wheelie bars and the HD Wing Mounts, creating a unified structural system that distributes impact forces evenly across the entire assembly rather than concentrating stress at single points that would lead to premature failure. For ARRMA 6S owners in the UK seeking professional-grade RC components that will withstand intensive bashy sessions and competitive driving, these wheelie bars deliver measurable performance improvements in durability and reliability compared to stock ARRMA equipment or generic aftermarket alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the RPM HD Wheelie Bars compatible with my ARRMA 6S stock wing mounts? — No. These wheelie bars are designed exclusively for use with RPM #81802 HD Wing Mounts and will not work with stock ARRMA wing mounts, ARRMA #320366, or any other aftermarket wing mount systems. You must first install the RPM HD Wing Mount system before these wheelie bars can be fitted to your vehicle.
- Can I use the wheels from my existing ARRMA wheelie bars with these RPM wheelie bars? — Yes, if you already own the stock ARRMA #320366 Wing Mounts kit, you can use the wheels and rocker posts from that kit with the RPM HD Wing Mounts since they are cross-compatible. However, if you don't have that kit, the RPM HD Wheelie Bars come with their own premium five-spoke wheelie bar wheels included in the package.
- What vehicles are compatible with these wheelie bars? — The RPM 6S HD Wheelie Bars are compatible exclusively with ARRMA 6S vehicles that use the RPM #81802 HD Wing Mounts system. Vehicle fitment is limited to those running ARRMA #ARA320758 stock wing mounts that have been replaced with RPM #81802 HD Wing Mounts. The bars are not compatible with ARRMA #ARA-1528 wheelie bars or vehicles running older v5 or earlier editions of the Kraton EXB.
- What makes these wheelie bars better than stock ARRMA options? — The RPM HD Wheelie Bars are engineered from advanced engineering-grade nylon blends that provide superior durability and impact resistance compared to standard plastic wheelie bars. Combined with the RPM HD Wing Mount system that features vertical bracing and triangulated support, they create a much more rigid and durable assembly that can withstand aggressive driving and repeated hard landings without damage.
- Do I need to purchase anything else besides these wheelie bars? — Yes, you will need to purchase the RPM #81802 HD Wing Mount System separately if you don't already have it, as these wheelie bars bolt exclusively to that system. The wheelie bars themselves come complete with wheels, hardware and instructions, so no additional components are required beyond the compatible wing mount system.
- Are these wheelie bars suitable for beginners? — These wheelie bars are suitable for any ARRMA 6S owner who has already installed the compatible RPM #81802 HD Wing Mount system. Installation is straightforward following the included instructions, and the benefits of wing protection apply to drivers of all skill levels, from beginners learning to control their RC cars to experienced competitors pushing their machines to the limit.
