Key Features
- Precision-engineered wheelie bar design — This wheelie bar is specifically engineered to fit and function perfectly with Arrma's 1/18 scale Granite Grom monster trucks, ensuring optimal performance without modification or fitting issues.
- Anti-wheelie technology — The wheelie bar actively prevents the front wheels from lifting excessively during hard acceleration, which dramatically improves traction and forward momentum whilst keeping the chassis stable and controlled.
- Black finish — The sleek black colour provides a professional appearance and matches the aggressive styling of modern Arrma monster trucks, whilst the finish is durable enough to withstand the rigours of active RC use.
- Lightweight construction — Fastrax has engineered this wheelie bar to add minimal weight to your vehicle whilst providing maximum anti-wheelie benefit, preserving the responsive handling characteristics of your Arrma monster truck.
- Easy installation — This is a straightforward bolt-on component that requires no modification to your vehicle, making it accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels who want to upgrade their ready-to-run RC monster truck.
- Improved stability during jumps — By preventing excessive nose-up attitude during takeoff, the wheelie bar helps keep your truck stable in the air and ensures more controlled landings, reducing the risk of tip-overs and damage.
- Enhanced driving confidence — With better control during acceleration and more predictable handling through varied terrain, this wheelie bar gives drivers the confidence to push their Arrma monster truck harder and explore more challenging driving scenarios.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Arrma Grom/Granite/Mojave Wheelie Bar represents professional-grade engineering designed for the demands of 1/18 scale RC monster truck racing and bashing. This component is constructed with precision machining and quality materials that ensure durability and consistent performance lap after lap or run after run. The wheelie bar works by distributing weight more effectively during hard acceleration phases, using physics and mechanical advantage to keep the front wheels planted on the ground rather than lifting skyward. This is particularly important with brushed motor-equipped trucks like the Arrma Granite Grom Mega 380, where sudden torque delivery can cause unwanted weight transfer to the rear suspension. The engineering considers the specific geometry and suspension setup of Arrma's 1/18 scale chassis, meaning you get optimised performance without guesswork. Whether you're running on tarmac, dirt, grass or mixed terrain, this wheelie bar provides consistent anti-wheelie benefits that translate to faster acceleration times and more predictable handling characteristics. The black finish is applied using tough, durable methods that resist chipping and fading through extended outdoor use.
