Overview

The Fastrax ARRMA Mojave Wheel/Tyre 1/18 Set is an essential upgrade for owners of ARRMA's 1/18 scale short course trucks, particularly the popular Mojave Grom series. These replacement wheels and tyres are designed to deliver improved grip, durability and performance across a range of terrains, making them ideal for hobbyists looking to enhance their RC car's handling characteristics. Whether you're a casual basher enjoying weekend runs at your local RC track in the UK or someone looking to optimise your short course truck's performance, this four-piece wheel and tyre set offers genuine ARRMA quality at an accessible price point.

RC enthusiasts choosing wheels and tyres for their 1/18 scale models understand that the right setup can make a significant difference to how their vehicle performs on concrete, carpet, grass and mixed terrain. The Fastrax brand is recognised for delivering reliable, well-engineered products that meet the exacting standards demanded by ARRMA vehicles. This particular set comprises four complete wheel and tyre assemblies ready to be installed on your short course truck, giving you a full replacement set or allowing you to maintain multiple tyre options for different conditions.

Investing in quality replacement tyres is a smart decision for any RC car UK enthusiast, and this genuine ARRMA-compatible set ensures perfect fitment and performance characteristics matched specifically to your 1/18 scale truck. The tyres arrive unglued, which is standard practice for RC hobbyists, allowing you to apply your preferred tyre glue before mounting and use.

Key Features

• Four-piece set — This package includes a complete set of four wheels and tyres, giving you full coverage for your 1/18 scale short course truck and allowing you to replace all four corners in one purchase rather than buying individual tyres.
• 12mm hex fitting — The wheels feature 12mm hex hubs, which is the industry-standard fitting system for 1/18 scale RC vehicles, ensuring secure mounting and easy installation without requiring adapters or modifications.
• Black colour design — The striking black finish complements virtually any vehicle body colour and livery, maintaining a professional appearance whether your truck is finished in white, teal, red, blue or other colour schemes.
• Front and rear compatible — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on your truck, eliminating the need to purchase different compounds for different ends of the vehicle and simplifying your spare tyre inventory.
• ARRMA-engineered compound — Fastrax tyres for ARRMA vehicles are developed specifically to work with ARRMA short course truck designs, providing the optimal balance of grip, wear resistance and predictable handling.
• Unglued tyres for flexibility — The tyres arrive unglued, giving you complete control over which glue you use and when you apply it, allowing you to customise your setup based on track conditions and your personal preferences.
• Genuine compatibility — These wheels and tyres are confirmed compatible with multiple ARRMA Mojave Grom variants, including the 223S BLX brushless models and the MEGA 380 brushed version, ensuring perfect fitment.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax ARRMA Mojave Wheel/Tyre 1/18 Set is engineered with the specific geometry and compound formulation needed for 1/18 scale short course truck racing and recreational use. The 12mm hex wheel mounting system provides a robust interface that distributes loads evenly and ensures wheels stay securely attached even during aggressive cornering and high-speed runs. The tyre compound is formulated to provide consistent grip across various track surfaces including carpet, concrete and outdoor dirt, whilst maintaining durability through multiple runs. The unglued presentation allows RC enthusiasts to select appropriate tyre adhesive based on their specific track conditions and driving style — some users prefer rubber-based tyre glue for maximum grip on competition surfaces, whilst others choose foam-friendly formulations for extended tyre life. The wheels themselves are constructed to withstand the rigours of 1/18 scale short course truck operation, maintaining their shape and structural integrity through countless accelerations, decelerations and directional changes. For UK RC car enthusiasts running brushless 4WD trucks like the ARRMA Mojave Grom 223S, these tyres provide the mechanical grip necessary to efficiently translate the available power into forward progress and precise cornering control.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which ARRMA models will these tyres fit? — These Fastrax 1/18 scale wheels and tyres are fully compatible with the ARRMA Mojave Grom range, including the Mojave Grom 223S BLX 4X4 in all colour options (white, teal and black) and the ARRMA Mojave Grom MEGA 380 brushed models in both red and blue. The 12mm hex fitting is standard across the entire 1/18 scale Mojave Grom lineup, ensuring perfect fitment on any model from this range.
• Why do I need to glue the tyres myself? — RC tyres are supplied unglued as standard practice because different racing conditions and track surfaces require different adhesive properties. By purchasing unglued tyres, you have the flexibility to choose your glue type — a stronger formulation for competition racing on smooth surfaces, or a gentler adhesive for extending tyre life on rough outdoor terrain. This approach also keeps shipping weights down and costs lower for customers who might have old tyres still mounted on their wheels.
• Are these tyres suitable for both beginner and experienced drivers? — Yes, absolutely. The ARRMA Mojave Grom itself is an excellent entry-level 1/18 scale short course truck, and these replacement tyres work equally well for new hobbyists learning vehicle control and experienced drivers pushing their trucks to the limit. The tyre compound provides predictable, confidence-inspiring grip that helps newer drivers develop consistent lines, whilst the durability and wear characteristics satisfy competitive and recreational users alike.
• What is the difference between 1/18 scale and larger RC trucks? — 1/18 scale trucks are smaller and more compact than 1/10 scale (the most popular RC scale in the UK), making them ideal for indoor use, smaller outdoor spaces and users with limited budgets. They still deliver genuine RC thrills with full 4WD capability on brushless versions, responsive steering and the same quality engineering found in larger models, just in a more manageable package size.
• Can I use these tyres on other brands of 1/18 scale trucks? — These tyres are specifically engineered for ARRMA's 1/18 scale Mojave Grom vehicles. Whilst other 1/18 scale trucks may use 12mm hex fittings, tyre diameters and widths can vary significantly between manufacturers, so we recommend confirming fitment specifications with the manufacturer of your truck before purchasing if it's not an ARRMA model.
• How long will these tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on your driving style, the surfaces you run on and maintenance practices. Aggressive drivers on rough outdoor terrain will see shorter tyre life than recreational users on smooth surfaces. Most RC enthusiasts get several sessions of use per set before noticeable wear occurs, making quality replacement tyres like these a worthwhile investment for regular users.
