ARRMA has long been recognised as a leader in the RC car hobby, producing world-class vehicles and components trusted by drivers across the UK and beyond.

The Copperhead 2 represents the latest evolution of this trusted design, bringing upgraded materials, improved tread patterns and enhanced durability to meet the demands of serious bashers and competitive drivers alike. If you're looking for quality replacement RC tyres UK retailers trust, the Copperhead 2 is an excellent choice that delivers genuine value and performance.

These pre-mounted, pre-glued tyres come ready to install straight from the box, eliminating the time-consuming preparation and gluing process that can deter many RC car owners. With four complete wheel and tyre assemblies included, you'll have immediate spares or the ability to switch between setups for different terrain conditions. The combination of aggressive tread design, high-quality rubber compounds, and precision engineering makes these tyres suitable for both casual bashy sessions and more serious recreational driving on mixed surfaces.

Key Features

• Multi-surface Chunky Tread Pattern — The aggressive tread design provides awesome traction across multiple surface types and conditions, whether you're driving on grass, gravel, concrete or mixed terrain, ensuring your RC car maintains grip when it matters most.
• High-Quality Rubber Compound — Manufactured from premium rubber materials, these tyres deliver long-lasting durability and resist premature wear even during extended driving sessions, providing excellent value for money and reduced frequency of replacements.
• Pre-Glued and Pre-Mounted Design — Unlike tyre-only products, these come fully mounted on ARRMA wheels and pre-glued, eliminating setup time and the need for separate gluing equipment or adhesives, allowing you to go from unboxing to driving in minutes rather than hours.
• Multi-Spoke Wheel Design — The wheel styling features a modern multi-spoke design that not only looks aggressive and head-turning with ARRMA's iconic black finish, but also provides increased structural strength to handle the demands of high-energy driving and occasional impacts.
• Tough Nylon Construction — The wheels are manufactured from durable nylon material that withstands the rigours of all-surface driving, resisting cracking and damage that might occur with less robust materials, ensuring your investment lasts through countless driving sessions.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The substantial 12mm hexagonal drive fitting provides excellent strength during extreme driving action and permits easy, secure servicing without specialised tools, making wheel changes straightforward for any RC driver in the UK.
• High-Quality Foam Inserts — Precision-engineered foam inserts provide superior support for the tyre tread, maintaining shape and performance under load and improving overall handling characteristics for a more responsive driving experience.
• Balanced Grip and Handling — The tyres are specifically designed to deliver the perfect balance between aggressive grip for secure traction and easy handling characteristics that won't make your vehicle difficult to control, making them suitable for drivers of all skill levels.

Technical Performance

These Copperhead 2 tyres represent the pinnacle of 1/16 scale tyre engineering from ARRMA, crafted from premium-grade rubber compounds that have been optimised for performance across diverse driving conditions. The construction methodology employs high-quality foam inserts that provide exceptional support structure beneath the tread, allowing the tyres to maintain their shape and performance characteristics even under the rigorous demands of aggressive driving and cornering. The chunky tread pattern has been meticulously designed through extensive testing to provide progressive grip levels that allow drivers to modulate their control inputs with confidence, whether accelerating hard out of corners, braking suddenly, or maintaining high-speed cornering. The 12mm hexagonal fitting is not merely a connection point but a critical engineering feature that provides superior strength and security compared to smaller hex sizes, particularly important when driving at higher speeds or over rough terrain where vibration and impact forces are significant. The black colour finish not only meets ARRMA's renowned styling aesthetic but is achieved through manufacturing processes that ensure durability and resistance to fade, keeping your RC car looking sharp through countless driving sessions. For UK RC enthusiasts, the pre-glued and pre-mounted nature of these tyres means you're receiving a factory-fresh assembly that has been tested and verified for quality before shipping, eliminating the variables associated with customer-applied glue and potentially imperfect mounting techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for beginners and casual RC drivers? — Absolutely. The pre-mounted, pre-glued design makes these exceptionally beginner-friendly as there is no assembly required, and the balanced grip and handling characteristics make them forgiving to drive. The aggressive tread pattern won't punish new drivers with unpredictable handling, while the quality construction ensures durability through the learning phase when mistakes and occasional crashes are more common.

This makes them an exceptional all-rounder for UK RC drivers who vary their driving locations, whether at local parks, driveways or dedicated RC tracks.
• Do these tyres require any additional preparation before fitting? — No, these tyres come pre-glued and pre-mounted, ready for immediate installation. You simply remove them from the box, select the correct orientation for front or rear (as these are suitable for both positions), and fit them to your Mini Kraton 3S using the 12mm hex fitting. No glue, adhesive, tools or additional preparation of any kind is required.
• How do the Copperhead 2 tyres compare to other ARRMA dBoots options? — The Copperhead 2 represents the latest generation of this proven design, with improvements in rubber compound technology, tread pattern evolution, and overall durability compared to earlier iterations. The multi-surface tread makes them more versatile than some specialist alternatives, whilst the premium materials and construction quality ensure they remain competitive with other premium ARRMA tyre options at this scale.
• Will these tyres fit my ARRMA Kraton if it's a different generation? — These tyres are specifically engineered as direct replacements for the 1/16 scale ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S range. If you own a different ARRMA model or a different generation of Kraton, we recommend checking compatibility with the product specification or contacting RC Model Shop to ensure correct fitment.
• What is the expected lifespan of these tyres? — The high-quality rubber compound and durable construction deliver extended lifespan compared to budget alternatives. Actual longevity depends on driving intensity, surface conditions and maintenance, but these tyres are engineered to provide long-lasting performance through many driving sessions. Regular cleaning and inspection will maximise their lifespan.
• Can I use these as front and rear tyres? — Yes, the Copperhead 2 is designed as a front and rear tyre for the Mini Kraton 3S, providing uniform handling characteristics and simplifying spare tyre management as you don't need to stock different patterns for different positions.
