Key Features
- Genuine ARRMA Spare Part — This is an official ARRMA component manufactured to precise specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability on your compatible monster truck. Genuine parts maintain your vehicle's performance and durability better than aftermarket alternatives.
- Four-Piece Set — You receive four complete hexes in this set, which represents a full replacement for all wheel positions on your 1/16 scale ARRMA model. Having a complete set means you can replace all four at once if needed, or keep spares on hand for future maintenance.
- 12mm Hex Configuration — The 12mm size is specifically engineered for ARRMA 1/16 scale models and provides the correct mechanical connection between your wheels and the drivetrain. This precise sizing ensures reliable torque transmission and wheel stability during high-speed and off-road driving.
- Plastic Construction — The plastic material used in these hexes is chosen for its balance of durability, weight, and performance characteristics. Plastic hexes are suitable for standard bashing and recreational driving, and they're cost-effective compared to upgraded metal alternatives.
- Compatible with Multiple Models — These hexes work with the GORGON GROM and QUAKE GROM series in all their colour variants (Yellow, Bronze, Red, Green, and Purple). This broad compatibility makes them a practical spare part for multiple ARRMA 1/16 scale models.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA 12mm Wheel Hex Set represents a straightforward but essential drivetrain component for 1/16 scale monster trucks. These hexes are the mechanical connection point between your model's wheels and its drive shafts, playing a critical role in power delivery and vehicle control. The 12mm diameter is precisely engineered to match the specifications of ARRMA's 1/16 scale drivetrains, ensuring that torque from your brushed motor is efficiently transmitted to the wheels. Plastic construction keeps the overall weight minimal whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for recreational bashing, weekend driving, and light competitive use. The engineering ensures that these hexes can handle the demands of ready to run RC models without compromising reliability. Whether you're driving your GORGON GROM or QUAKE GROM over grass, dirt, or tarmac, these hexes maintain consistent wheel connection and rotational accuracy. For UK RC car owners, having replacement hexes on hand is simply smart maintenance, as they're wear items that may need replacing after extended use or if they become damaged during driving.
What's in the Box
- Four plastic wheel hexes (12mm)
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are wheel hexes and why do I need them? — Wheel hexes are the mechanical connectors that attach your wheels to your model's drive shafts. They transmit power from your motor to the wheels, making them essential for driving. Over time, hexes can wear out or break during impacts, which is why having spare hexes on hand is important for maintaining your RC car's performance.
- Are these hexes compatible with my ARRMA monster truck? — Yes, these 12mm plastic hexes are compatible with the ARRMA 1/16 GORGON GROM 4X4 RTR and the ARRMA 1/16 QUAKE GROM 4X4 RTR models. If you own either of these ready to run brushed monster trucks in any colour variant, these hexes will fit your model.
- Should I upgrade to metal hexes? — Plastic hexes like these are suitable for recreational bashing, weekend driving, and standard use. Metal hexes are typically chosen for more aggressive racing or competition use where maximum durability is required. For most UK RC hobbyists using ready to run models, plastic hexes offer reliable performance at a reasonable cost.
- How often should I replace my wheel hexes? — Wheel hexes are wear items, and their lifespan depends on driving intensity, terrain, and impact frequency. Regular inspection during maintenance is recommended. If you notice wobbling wheels, difficulty steering, or visible cracks in the hexes, replacement is needed. Heavy bashers may need to replace hexes more frequently than casual weekend drivers.
- Can I fit these hexes myself? — Yes, hex replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can perform with basic tools. Consult your ARRMA model manual for detailed fitting instructions. Having the correct tools and following the manufacturer's guidance ensures proper installation and optimal performance.
