Key Features
- Aggressive Flat Iron All-Terrain Traction — The distinctive Flat Iron tread pattern features aggressive lugs and reinforced shoulder blocks specifically engineered to bite into loose dirt, sand, gravel, and debris, giving you superior grip and control across a wide variety of terrain types and track surfaces.
- Rugged Off-Road Desert Racing Look — With their chunky, purposeful design, these tyres give your RC buggy an authentic off-road racing aesthetic that looks as serious as it performs, perfect for UK RC enthusiasts who demand style alongside substance.
- Durable Nylon Hex Diablo Wheels — The wheels are crafted from hardwearing nylon construction with a classic Diablo design profile, offering durability and reliability whether you're bashing in the backyard or running competitive courses at your local RC club.
- 12mm Wheel Hex for Quick Mounting — The 12mm hex fitting system allows for rapid wheel changes and secure, hassle-free mounting to your ARRMA GROM, meaning more time driving and less time fussing with tools and equipment.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These tyres are designed for both front and rear positions on your ARRMA TYPHON GROM, providing consistent handling characteristics and eliminating the need to stock different tyres for different wheel positions.
- Chrome Wheel Finish — The striking chrome finish on the Diablo wheels adds visual appeal to your RC car while providing a tough, durable coating that resists wear and corrosion during regular use and storage.
- Pre-Mounted Convenience — Rather than purchasing separate tyres and wheels, these come fully assembled and ready to bolt straight onto your RC buggy, saving you time, effort, and the potential for installation errors.
- Perfect Fit for ARRMA TYPHON GROM — Engineered specifically for the ARRMA TYPHON GROM range, these tyres offer perfect fitment and optimal performance characteristics, though they may also fit other GROM variants with potential body trimming.
- Enhanced Handling and Control — The combination of aggressive tread design and optimised rubber compound delivers sharper handling responses and more precise steering feedback, giving you the confidence to push harder and take tighter lines through technical sections.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Flat Iron tyre features an open cell foam insert that provides excellent shock absorption and traction characteristics across a wide range of terrain types and driving conditions. Measuring 1.21 inches (31mm) in height, these 1/14 scale tyres are proportionally sized to deliver authentic off-road performance on your ARRMA TYPHON GROM or compatible GROM-class buggy. The Diablo wheel itself is engineered with precision engineering to ensure concentricity and balance, reducing vibration during high-speed runs and delivering smoother performance on both packed dirt and loose terrain. At just 0.32 pounds per mounted tyre and wheel assembly, the weight remains minimal to avoid excessive unsprung mass while maintaining durability through repeated bashing and competitive driving. The 5.75-inch wheel width provides a stable, planted platform that enhances traction without negatively impacting handling balance. The open cell foam insert combined with the aggressive Flat Iron rubber compound creates a synergistic relationship—the foam absorbs impacts and deforms to match terrain contours, whilst the rubber maintains grip even in challenging conditions. This tyre and wheel package represents years of Pro-Line's development expertise in off-road RC racing, with every dimension and material choice refined through extensive track testing. The all-terrain tread pattern is neither too aggressive nor too conservative; it's precisely calibrated for the requirements of 1/14 scale buggy driving where balance between speed, control, and durability is paramount.

- What is the scale and will these fit other RC buggies? — These are 1/14 scale tyres engineered for the ARRMA TYPHON GROM and compatible 1/14 scale buggies.
