Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for all 1/18 scale ARRMA models? — These wheels feature the standard 12mm hex fitting found on 1/18 scale RC vehicles, making them compatible with ARRMA Grom platforms and other 1/18 scale vehicles using the same connection standard. Always verify your vehicle's hex size before purchasing to ensure perfect compatibility.
- What surfaces can I use these wheels on? — The Fastrax ARRMA Grom wheels and tyres are engineered for multi-surface use, performing effectively on tarmac, dirt, grass, and mixed terrain. The tyre compound provides balanced grip across various conditions, making these wheels genuinely versatile for different driving environments.
- Do these come pre-assembled? — Yes, all four wheels arrive pre-assembled with tyres mounted and ready to install on your vehicle. You simply need to remove your old wheels and click these new ones onto the 12mm hex connections.
- How often will I need to replace these wheels and tyres? — Tyre wear depends entirely on your driving frequency, surface type, and driving style. Recreational bashers might expect several months of use, whilst competitive racers may need replacements more frequently. Keeping spare sets on hand ensures you're always ready to drive.
