Key Features
- Race-Inspired King Pin Tread Design — Inspired by Pro-Line's legendary Hole Shot race tyre heritage, the King Pin tread pattern is optimised specifically for groomed race tracks with a hard-packed base and light dust cover, maximising both forward bite and lateral grip to give MOJAVE GROM drivers a genuine performance advantage on track day.
- Medium Compound M2 Rubber — The M2 tyre compound provides the perfect balance between grip and durability for hard-packed race surfaces, ensuring consistent performance throughout extended practice and race sessions without premature wear or unpredictable handling characteristics.
- Symmetrical Tread Pattern — The symmetrical tread design delivers predictable straight-line traction and cornering grip, allowing drivers to brake, accelerate and turn with confidence, knowing the tyres will respond consistently regardless of driving inputs or track conditions.
- Pre-Mounted on Split Six Wheels — King Pin tyres come factory-mounted on Pro-Line Split Six wheels, completely eliminating the need for messy tyre glue, labour-intensive assembly, or special tools; simply install and hit the track with confidence knowing your setup is race-ready straight from the box.
- 12mm Hex Compatibility — The Split Six wheels feature standard 12mm hex fitting, ensuring seamless compatibility with the ARRMA MOJAVE GROM platform and allowing for quick, tool-free installation without modification or adaptation.
- Front and Rear Application — These tyres are engineered for use on both front and rear axles, providing consistent handling balance and allowing drivers to run a matched set that responds uniformly across all four wheels for predictable, repeatable performance.
- Scale-Appropriate Performance Styling — The Split Six wheel design adds a clean, race-inspired aesthetic whilst maintaining the strength and reliability required for competitive racing, delivering the perfect balance of genuine performance and visual appeal for drivers who want their MOJAVE GROM to look as fast as it actually drives.
- Engineering for MOJAVE GROM Platform — Engineered exclusively for the ARRMA MOJAVE GROM platform, this tyre and wheel combo is tailored to the vehicle's specific suspension geometry, weight distribution, and handling characteristics, ensuring optimal performance that standard or generic tyres simply cannot match.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line King Pin tyre and wheel system represents professional-grade engineering scaled down for 1/16 scale RC racing. The M2 medium compound rubber has been formulated through extensive testing on groomed race tracks with hard-packed surfaces and light dust conditions, the exact environment where these tyres are engineered to excel. This specificity of purpose is crucial — whilst all-purpose RC car tyres offer versatility, the King Pin tyres sacrifice broad compatibility for laser-focused performance in their intended application, delivering lap times and handling precision that generic alternatives cannot match. The symmetrical tread pattern, developed from Pro-Line's extensive racing database spanning decades of 1/10, 1/8 and 1/6 scale competition, translates proven motorsport geometry into a 1/16 scale package. The pre-mounted design eliminates variables that can affect performance; tyre mounting angle, bead seating, and glue application are all controlled during factory assembly, ensuring every set performs identically out of the box. The Split Six wheel design has been engineered to provide adequate strength for competitive racing whilst keeping unsprung mass minimal — critical factors in 1/16 scale racing where every gram affects acceleration, braking and handling response. The 12mm hex fitting ensures perfect fitment to the ARRMA MOJAVE GROM platform without play or slippage that could introduce handling inconsistencies. Build quality is evident throughout; these are not entry-level tyres designed for casual bashers, but serious racing equipment that demands to be driven hard on prepared race surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my ARRMA MOJAVE GROM? — Yes, the Pro-Line King Pin tyre set has been engineered specifically for the ARRMA MOJAVE GROM platform, with compatibility confirmed for models including the MOJAVE GROM 223S BLX 4x4 DT with or without battery and charger in all colour variants, as well as the MOJAVE GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 small scale desert truck in red and blue. Before purchasing, verify your specific MOJAVE GROM model against the compatibility list to ensure perfect fitment.
- What surfaces are these tyres best suited for? — These King Pin tyres are purpose-designed for groomed race tracks with hard-packed bases and light dust cover; they are not general-purpose tyres for all-terrain use. If you primarily bash on grass, sand, or loose terrain, you would benefit from tyres with more aggressive tread patterns designed for those surfaces. However, if you race regularly at prepared circuits, these tyres will deliver noticeably superior performance compared to multi-purpose alternatives.
- Do I need to glue these tyres? — No, the King Pin tyres arrive factory-mounted on Split Six wheels, completely eliminating the need for tyre glue, adhesive preparation, or assembly. Simply install the wheels onto your MOJAVE GROM using the 12mm hex fittings and you are ready to race; this pre-mounted design saves time and removes one potential source of performance inconsistency.
- What is the difference between these King Pin tyres and standard MOJAVE GROM tyres? — King Pin tyres feature a symmetrical tread pattern optimised for hard-packed race surfaces with the M2 medium compound, whilst standard MOJAVE GROM tyres are general-purpose designs intended for broader use. King Pin tyres will deliver superior grip, predictable handling and consistent lap times on groomed circuits, but may wear faster or feel less responsive on loose or uneven terrain. The choice depends entirely on your primary use — competitive racing or recreational bashing.
- Can I use these on other ARRMA 1/16 models? — The King Pin tyres are specifically engineered for the MOJAVE GROM platform and compatibility is only confirmed for MOJAVE GROM variants listed in the technical specifications. Other ARRMA 1/16 models may have different suspension geometry, weight distribution or handling characteristics that would not benefit from these tyres, and attempting to use them on non-MOJAVE GROM platforms may result in poor handling. Always verify compatibility before purchasing.
- Are these pre-mounted tyres the same quality as separately glued tyres? — Yes, the factory-mounted assembly process provides superior consistency compared to manual gluing. Factory assembly uses controlled mounting angles, precise bead seating, and measured adhesive application — variables that can affect performance when done manually. Every factory-mounted set will perform identically, whereas manual gluing introduces variables that can cause inconsistent performance between wheels.
