Replacement parts are an inevitable part of RC ownership, especially for a tough and aggressive brushless monster truck like the MINI KRATON 3S. The front hub assembly is a critical component of the suspension system that connects the wheel to the suspension arms and supports the entire front end of your RC car during acceleration, braking, and cornering.

The ARRMA Front Hub Set D (2): MINI offers you an authentic, manufacturer-approved solution that guarantees compatibility and performance with your specific vehicle model.
Available in the UK with fast delivery options, this is the spare part you need when your original hubs show signs of wear or damage. Keep your ARRMA mini 4x4 performing like new with genuine OEM components that are designed and tested to the same exacting standards as the parts fitted to your vehicle fresh from the factory.
Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — These front hubs are manufactured from durable composite material that offers superior crash resistance compared to brittle plastic alternatives, allowing them to absorb impacts and flexing without breaking during intense RC driving conditions and helping you get back to racing faster with fewer repairs.
- Increased Durability — The composite construction is engineered to withstand the demanding forces and stresses experienced during extreme RC action, including high-speed impacts, jumps, landings, and aggressive cornering, ensuring these hubs will provide long-lasting service life through countless driving sessions.
- Precision Molding — Each hub is manufactured using precision injection molding techniques that ensure tight tolerances and perfect geometry, resulting in smooth suspension operation in all driving conditions and eliminating issues like wheel wobble, binding, or uneven tyre wear that would be caused by poorly-fitted or out-of-tolerance components.
- Official OEM Part — This is the genuine ARRMA front hub assembly specified for your MINI KRATON 3S, guaranteeing perfect fit and function without the uncertainty of using third-party alternatives that may have dimensional inconsistencies or inferior material properties.
- Complete Front Set — The set includes both front left and front right hubs plus all necessary mounting hardware, giving you everything needed to complete a full front hub replacement without having to source additional fasteners.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Front Hub Set D is engineered specifically for the 1/16 scale MINI KRATON 3S brushless monster truck platform. The composite material specification ensures that the hubs can handle the performance characteristics of the 3S LiPo-powered brushless drivetrain while maintaining dimensional accuracy and mechanical integrity through extended use. The precision molding process delivers hubs with tight tolerances that are essential for smooth suspension articulation, consistent steering response, and even tyre wear across both front wheels. The composite construction strikes an ideal balance between lightweight construction and impact resistance, allowing your front suspension to respond quickly to terrain changes while remaining strong enough to survive the crashes and hard landings that are inevitable in aggressive RC driving. The material is specifically formulated to resist the stresses encountered in a high-performance brushless RC car that is capable of rapid acceleration, high speed runs, and dynamic cornering inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these front hubs compatible with? — These front hubs are designed specifically for the ARRMA 1/16 MINI KRATON 3S brushless monster truck, including all variants such as the standard Red version, the Blue version with Battery and Charger Included, and the Teal version with Battery and Charger Included. Always verify your vehicle model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Why would I need replacement front hubs for my RC car? — Front hubs can become damaged through crashes, hard impacts, or wear over time from normal use. Regular driving puts stress on suspension components, and running over rough terrain or hitting obstacles can crack or strip the mounting threads on the hubs. Keeping spare hub sets allows you to quickly repair your RC car and get back to driving without extended downtime waiting for replacement parts.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are official OEM replacement parts that are straightforward to install if you have basic tools and mechanical knowledge. However, hub replacement does require removing wheels, suspension arms, and associated components, so it's more suitable for intermediate RC enthusiasts who have some familiarity with basic vehicle maintenance and assembly.
- Do these hubs require any tools to install? — You will need standard RC tools including a hex wrench set, screwdrivers, and possibly a small wrench to remove and install the hub assembly. The included M2.5x14mm flat head screws are what fasten the hubs to the suspension arms, and proper tool selection ensures you won't strip the fasteners during installation.
- How long do these hubs typically last? — The lifespan depends entirely on your driving style, terrain, and how aggressively you push your RC car. Heavy bashing and frequent crashes will necessitate more frequent hub replacement than gentle recreational driving. Regular inspection of your hubs during routine maintenance can help you catch wear early and plan replacements before a failure occurs mid-session.
