Key Features
- Multi-surface 'FORTRESS' tread pattern — The specially designed tread provides awesome traction across a wide variety of surfaces, from tarmac and concrete to dirt, gravel and mixed terrain, ensuring consistent grip regardless of where you're driving your RC short course truck.
- Pre-glued for trouble-free installation — Unlike tyres that require separate gluing, these come factory-glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for messy adhesives, long curing times and the risk of poor fitment, allowing you to get back to driving immediately.
- High-quality rubber compound for durability — The premium rubber formulation resists tearing, cracking and premature wear, meaning these tyres will outlast cheaper alternatives and provide consistent performance across many hours of driving.
- Innovative vent holes for enhanced performance — Strategically positioned vent holes allow air to flow in and out of the tyre freely, which improves traction by keeping the rubber responsive and helps absorb bumps and landings when you're jumping or landing hard. These same vent holes also allow water and dirt to escape from inside the tyre, preventing unbalanced tyres that would cause poor handling and vibration.
- Robust 12-spoke wheel design — The 12-spoke pattern isn't just about looks; it provides increased structural strength and rigidity, meaning the wheels can handle extreme driving forces without flexing or breaking, whilst still looking stylish on your vehicle.
- Tough nylon wheel construction — The wheels are manufactured from durable nylon material that resists impacts and abrasion from all surfaces, guaranteeing longevity whether you're bashing on asphalt, dirt or gravel.
- 12mm hex fitting for strength and serviceability — The larger 12mm hexagonal drive interface is engineered for strength during extreme driving action, reducing the risk of the wheel slipping on the drive pin or cross-pin, whilst still being straightforward to remove and fit during routine maintenance and tyre changes.
- Blue colour for distinctive ARRMA styling — The vibrant blue finish is part of ARRMA's recognised colour scheme, giving your RC short course truck a premium, factory-built appearance that stands out on the track.
- Compatible with multiple ARRMA 1/16 models — These tyres fit a range of ARRMA's 1/16 scale short course trucks, making them a versatile spare parts option for enthusiasts with multiple vehicles or those looking to refresh their current setup.
Technical Performance
These are genuine ARRMA dBoots FORTRESS tyres mounted on official ARRMA wheels, providing authentic performance that matches the engineering standards ARRMA is known for across the RC world. The 1/16 scale specification places them in the small scale short course truck category, making them perfect for drivers who want a nimble, responsive vehicle that's easy to transport and store. The multi-surface tread pattern has been carefully engineered to work effectively on both smooth and rough terrain, giving you the flexibility to drive anywhere without needing to swap tyres constantly. The rubber compound used in the FORTRESS range is specifically formulated to strike a balance between grip and durability, meaning you get excellent traction without sacrificing tyre life. The vent hole technology is a genuine innovation in RC tyre design; by allowing air circulation and moisture escape, it maintains consistent tyre pressure and performance throughout extended driving sessions, something that makes a measurable difference when you're trying to achieve competitive lap times. The 12mm hex connection point is a robust standard in 1/16 scale vehicles, providing the strength needed for high-torque acceleration and cornering forces. The complete package—rubber compound, tread pattern, construction quality, wheel design and vent hole engineering—results in a tyre system that will satisfy beginners learning to control their first RC short course truck right through to experienced racers competing at local and regional venues across the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for both beginners and experienced RC drivers? — Absolutely. The FORTRESS range's multi-surface design and durable construction make them ideal for beginners who are still learning vehicle control, as they provide predictable, responsive grip. However, the consistent performance and durability also appeal to experienced racers who value reliability in competitive situations.
- What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — These tyres are confirmed compatible with the Arrma 1/16 MOJAVE GROM 223S BLX 4X4 DT range (available in White, Teal and Black variants) and the Arrma MOJAVE GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 small scale desert truck in both Red and Blue colours. If you own a different ARRMA 1/16 model, check the wheel hex size is 12mm and the scale matches before purchasing.
- Do these tyres come glued or do I need to glue them myself? — These tyres come completely pre-glued, meaning the rubber is already bonded to the wheel. You simply unbox them and fit them directly to your vehicle—no messy adhesives, no waiting for glue to cure, and no risk of poor fitment from incorrect glueing technique.
- What makes the vent holes important in RC tyres? — Vent holes serve dual purposes: they allow air to move through the tyre, which improves grip and helps absorb impacts from jumps and rough landings, and they allow water and dirt to drain out of the tyre. This drainage is crucial because trapped moisture and grit inside the tyre create imbalance, which causes vibration, poor handling and uneven wear patterns.
- Can I use these on both dirt and paved surfaces? — Yes, that's the whole point of the multi-surface FORTRESS tread pattern. It's designed to provide effective traction on tarmac, concrete, gravel, dirt and mixed terrain, so you're not limited to one type of driving environment.
- How long will these tyres last with regular use? — The high-quality rubber compound and robust construction mean these tyres offer excellent durability compared to budget alternatives. With normal recreational use, you should get many months of performance. Hard racing use will shorten tyre life, but even competitive drivers find the FORTRESS range good value for the lifespan they achieve.
- What wheel hex size do these use? — The wheels feature a 12mm hexagonal fitting, which is a strong, standard connection point used across many 1/16 scale ARRMA vehicles and other small-scale RC trucks.
- Are there other colour options available in the FORTRESS range? — Yes, ARRMA produces the FORTRESS tyre range in multiple colours. RC Model Shop stocks the blue variant, but if you're interested in other colours, please contact us to check current availability.
