For anyone serious about maintaining their ARRMA RC car UK model in peak condition, or seeking to personalise their setup with quality aftermarket components, this wheel hex set represents the kind of attention to detail that separates casual drivers from dedicated enthusiasts. The metal construction and professional anodising mean these hexes will retain their vibrant red colour and structural integrity through countless hours of bashing and racing.
Key Features
- Anodised Aluminium Construction — The wheel hexes are manufactured from anodised aluminium, which provides exceptional durability and resistance to wear whilst maintaining a professional, polished appearance that enhances the visual appeal of your RC vehicle.
- 12mm Hex Size — The 12mm size is a universal standard that allows you to fit a wide range of wheel and tyre sets to your ARRMA model, giving you flexibility in choosing upgrades that suit your driving style and terrain preferences.
- Premium Red Colour — The anodised red finish delivers bold aesthetics that complement ARRMA's design language and allow you to customise your RC monster truck or 4x4 with colour-coordinated components for a professional, purposeful appearance.
- Set of Four — This package includes four complete hexes, one for each wheel of your RC car, providing a full-vehicle upgrade rather than individual components that might require multiple purchases.
- Extreme Durability — The metal construction ensures these hexes withstand the intense stresses of off-road driving, jumps, crashes and hard landings far better than plastic alternatives, making them a long-term investment in your RC car UK setup.
- Complete Hardware Included — Each hex set comes with all necessary fasteners and pins, ensuring you have everything needed for straightforward installation without additional shopping trips.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA 12mm Wheel Hex Set represents professional-grade wheel hardware engineered to meet the demands of serious RC hobbyists. Manufactured from CNC-machined aluminium and finished with anodising, these hexes combine lightweight construction with exceptional strength, critical for maintaining wheel alignment and responsiveness during high-speed driving and aggressive cornering. The anodising process creates a hard, protective surface layer that resists corrosion, impact damage and UV fading, ensuring the red colour remains vibrant throughout the lifespan of your RC vehicle. The 12mm hex interface is the industry standard for many modern ARRMA models, including the 1/16 scale GORGON GROM in Red, Yellow and Bronze variants, the 1/18 scale GRANITE GROM MEGA 380 in Red, Blue/Red and Green, the 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S in Red, Teal and Blue, and the 1/16 QUAKE GROM in Green, Red and Purple. Each hex comes paired with M3x3mm set screws for secure fastening to the wheel, and 2x10mm wheel hex pins that interface with your vehicle's driveshafts, creating a rigid connection that transmits steering and acceleration forces precisely. The engineering ensures minimal play or wobble, translating directly to improved handling characteristics and more predictable RC car UK performance whether you're navigating tight indoor courses or bashing outdoors on rough terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models are these 12mm wheel hexes compatible with? — These metal wheel hexes are designed for ARRMA 1/16 and 1/18 scale vehicles including the GORGON GROM 4x4 RTR (available in Red, Yellow and Bronze), GRANITE GROM MEGA 380 4x4 Monster Truck RTR (available in Red, Blue/Red and Green), 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S (available in Red, Teal and Blue with battery/charger variants), and the QUAKE GROM 4x4 RTR (available in Green, Red and Purple). Check your vehicle's specification to confirm 12mm hex compatibility before ordering.
- Are these wheel hexes a genuine upgrade over stock plastic hexes? — Yes, significantly. The anodised aluminium construction is far superior to plastic in terms of durability, impact resistance and longevity. Metal hexes maintain wheel alignment under stress better than plastic alternatives, resulting in improved handling and reduced wear on connected components. They're particularly valuable if you bash your ready to run RC vehicle frequently or drive on rough terrain.
- Will these red hexes fit my existing ARRMA wheels and tyres? — The 12mm hex size is universal across many modern ARRMA models, and these hexes are designed to accept standard ARRMA wheels and tyre combinations. However, if you've installed non-standard or third-party wheels, verify that they feature a 12mm hex bore before purchasing.
- How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. Remove your existing wheels, unscrew the old hexes, install the new metal hexes using the included M3x3mm set screws and 2x10mm pins, then remount your wheels and tyres. The complete process typically takes 15-30 minutes for all four wheels using standard hex keys.
- Will the red colour fade or chip easily? — The anodising process creates a hard, protective surface that resists fading and chipping far better than painted alternatives. The red colour should remain vibrant through normal use, though heavy impacts or abrasive surfaces may eventually show wear. Anodised finishes are industry-standard for premium RC hardware specifically because of their durability and colour retention.
