Technical Performance

The Fastrax Arrma Grom/Granite/Mojave Wheelie Bar represents the gold standard in chassis stability upgrades for 1/18 scale RC monster trucks. When you're driving a compact, lightweight vehicle like the Arrma Granite Grom with its Mega 380 brushed motor system, managing weight transfer during acceleration is absolutely crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will a wheelie bar improve my Arrma Granite Grom performance? — Yes, significantly. By preventing front-end lift during acceleration, the wheelie bar keeps all four tyres in contact with the ground, which improves traction, reduces wheelies, and gives you better control. This is especially noticeable when driving over rough terrain or during hard acceleration on grass or dirt.
• Is this wheelie bar compatible with all Arrma Grom variants? — This wheelie bar is specifically designed for the Arrma 1/18 Granite Grom Mega 380 brushed 4x4 monster truck platform. It is compatible with the blue/red colour variant, the red variant, and the green variant. Always verify your specific model matches these specifications before purchasing.
• How difficult is installation? — Installation is very straightforward and requires no special tools or technical expertise. The wheelie bar mounts directly to your existing chassis using the provided hardware. Most users can complete installation in under 15 minutes. No modifications to your truck are necessary.
• Will adding a wheelie bar affect my truck's speed? — The impact on top speed is negligible. Because the wheelie bar is constructed from lightweight materials and only makes ground contact during acceleration (not at cruising speed), the weight addition is minimal and won't significantly affect performance on flat ground or straightaways.
• What is the difference between this blue wheelie bar and the red version? — The Fastrax wheelie bar is available in both blue and red colours. The mechanical design and fitment are identical — the only difference is the colour finish. Choose blue to match your Arrma Granite Grom blue colour scheme, or red to complement the red variants.
• Is a wheelie bar suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. In fact, wheelie bars are particularly beneficial for beginners because they provide automatic stability during hard acceleration, preventing the unpredictable wheelies that can cause crashes. This allows new RC drivers to accelerate more confidently without worrying about losing control.
