Key Features
- Tough Composite Construction — The entire wheelie bar assembly is manufactured from durable composite material that resists impacts and flexing, ensuring long-lasting performance even after repeated stunt attempts and hard landings. This material choice means your wheelie bar will maintain its integrity through seasons of regular use.
- Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install — This wheelie bar set arrives completely assembled from ARRMA, eliminating the need for complex build steps or additional assembly. You simply bolt it onto your GROM chassis using the supplied hardware and you're ready to start practising your stunt driving immediately.
- Complete Hardware Package Included — All the fasteners needed for installation are provided in the box, including M2.5x8mm button head screws with 2.0mm hex and M2.5x12mm cap head screws. This comprehensive approach means you won't need to source additional parts to get your wheelie bar fitted.
- Dedicated GROM Design — This is not a universal wheelie bar adapted from another platform; it's specifically engineered for the ARRMA GROM, ensuring perfect alignment, optimal weight distribution and proper functionality with your vehicle's geometry and suspension.
- Stability and Stunt Control — The wheelie bar mount, wheel and axle work together to create a pivot point that prevents your GROM from tipping backwards during acceleration, giving you the confidence to explore stunts safely whilst maintaining control of your vehicle at all times.
Technical Performance
The wheelie bar assembly consists of three main components working in perfect harmony: the wheelie bar mount which bolts securely to your GROM's chassis, the wheelie bar wheel which makes contact with the ground during manoeuvres, and the wheelie bar axle which connects these components and allows smooth rotation. The tough composite material used throughout this assembly is specifically selected to balance durability with minimal weight penalty, ensuring your GROM maintains its responsive handling characteristics whilst gaining the stability benefits of a proper wheelie bar installation. The engineering of this component demonstrates ARRMA's commitment to creating genuine factory equipment that meets real-world usage demands. UK RC car enthusiasts will appreciate the quality of ARRMA's spare parts, which are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the vehicles themselves. The complete package arrives pre-assembled, meaning you benefit from factory precision without the hassle of complex assembly, allowing you to spend more time driving and enjoying your RC car rather than building or troubleshooting equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a wheelie bar and why does my RC car need one? — A wheelie bar is a trailing axle assembly that prevents your RC car from flipping backwards during acceleration or when performing stunts. When you punch the throttle hard on your GROM, the weight transfer can lift the front wheels, and the wheelie bar's ground contact prevents this from becoming a dangerous flip. It's essential if you want to safely learn wheelies, practice stunt driving, or simply protect your vehicle from being damaged by tip-overs during aggressive driving.
- Is this wheelie bar suitable for beginners? — Yes, the ARRMA wheelie bar set is an excellent addition for beginners learning to drive their GROM more aggressively. Rather than being a complex racing upgrade, it's a safety feature that protects your investment whilst allowing you to build confidence with harder acceleration and basic stunt attempts. Even experienced drivers benefit from wheelie bars as they open up new driving techniques and skills to master.
- Will this wheelie bar fit my ARRMA GROM? — This wheelie bar set is specifically designed for the ARRMA GROM and will fit perfectly. It's an official ARRMA spare part, manufactured to factory specifications with precise engineering that ensures proper alignment and function with your GROM's chassis and suspension geometry.
- How difficult is it to install this wheelie bar? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. The wheelie bar arrives pre-assembled from ARRMA, so you simply position it on your GROM's chassis and secure it using the provided hardware. Most RC enthusiasts can complete the installation in under 10 minutes without any special knowledge or experience required.
- What performance improvements will I notice? — With this wheelie bar installed, you'll immediately notice that your GROM is much more stable during hard acceleration and won't tip backwards as easily. This gives you the freedom to drive more aggressively and explore stunt driving without fear of your vehicle flipping and sustaining damage. The wheelie bar also enables proper wheelies and other tricks that simply aren't possible without one.
