Key Features
- Multi-surface all-road tyres — The dBoots Hoons are engineered as genuine all-road tyres, delivering awesome traction across multiple surfaces and weather conditions, making them versatile performers whether you're racing on asphalt, dirt, grass, or mixed terrain courses.
- Moulded-in belt technology — Each tyre features a moulded-in belt construction designed specifically to aid stability at high speeds, helping maintain composure during aggressive driving and preventing tyre deformation under aggressive cornering or acceleration.
- High-quality rubber compound — The silver compound rubber has been carefully formulated for long-lasting durability, resisting premature wear and degradation even with regular use, ensuring your investment in these tyres delivers excellent value over time.
- Pre-glued and ready to fit — Both the tyre and wheel combination arrive pre-glued, eliminating the need for adhesives and the associated drying time, allowing you to mount and use them immediately without additional preparation.
- Multi-spoke wheel design — The 5-spoke design isn't just about aesthetics; the additional spokes provide increased structural strength compared to simpler 3-spoke designs, crucial for handling the extreme demands of modern RC driving and preventing spoke flexing or failure.
- Tough nylon construction — The wheels are manufactured from durable nylon material that withstands contact with concrete, asphalt, rocks and obstacles without cracking or shattering, maintaining structural integrity through countless drives.
- 17mm hex drive system — The larger 17mm hex connection provides superior strength during extreme driving action compared to smaller hex sizes, reducing the risk of rounding out or stripping, and enables easier servicing and wheel changes in the field.
- Premium tyre inserts — High-quality foam inserts are incorporated within the tyre structure, specially designed to provide excellent support for the tyre tread whilst delivering the perfect balance of aggressive grip and easy handling characteristics for predictable driving.
- Black ARRMA styling — The black wheel finish combined with silver compound tyres delivers head-turning ARRMA aesthetics that make your RC car stand out on the track or field.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA dBoots Hoons 53/107 2.9 represent a significant engineering achievement in RC tyre and wheel design. The 53mm width is specifically engineered for rear axle fitment, providing a wider contact patch that enhances stability and weight distribution at high speeds. The 107mm overall diameter, combined with the internal 83mm inner wheel bead diameter and 75mm outer wheel bead diameter, creates optimised rolling characteristics for vehicles that have been configured with the appropriate gearbox ratios. The silver compound rubber utilised in these tyres has been formulated to offer consistent grip across varied surfaces whilst maintaining durability through extended use. The moulded-in belt structure works in concert with the high-quality inserts to create a tyre assembly that resists deformation, punctures and degradation even when subjected to the harsh impacts and continuous stresses of regular RC competition or recreational driving. The tough nylon 5-spoke wheels are engineered to absorb impacts whilst maintaining true wheel geometry, essential for maintaining predictable handling characteristics. The 17mm hex connection has been engineered to provide maximum strength and reliability, critical for vehicles being driven at their limits. These components have been assembled and pre-glued at the factory using ARRMA's quality control procedures, ensuring consistency and reliability from the moment you unpack them.
What's in the Box
- 2 x Black 5-Spoke Wheels with pre-glued silver compound dBoots Hoons tyres
What You Need to Complete
- Compatible ARRMA RC vehicle with rear axle capable of accepting 107mm diameter tyres
- To use 107mm diameter tyres on the rear axle while maintaining proper gearbox ratios, the following optional gear upgrades are recommended: ARA311018 (Main Input Gear 14T GP6) and ARA311019 (Main Diff Gear 45T GP6) for the rear gearbox, with corresponding ARA311016 (Main Input Gear 15T GP5) and ARA311017 (Main Diff Gear 42T GP5) for the front gearbox to accommodate the different rollout values between 107mm rear and 100mm front tyres
Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these ARRMA dBoots Hoons compatible with? — These rear wheels are confirmed compatible with the Arrma Felony 6S BLX in both Black (C-ARA7617V2T1) and Orange (C-ARA7617V2T2) colour variants. However, compatibility extends to other ARRMA vehicles featuring rear axles capable of accepting 107mm diameter tyres with 17mm hex hubs. Always verify your vehicle's specifications before purchasing.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels myself? — No, these tyres arrive pre-glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for you to purchase separate adhesive or spend time waiting for glue to cure. This ready-to-fit approach means you can install them immediately upon arrival.
- What is the difference between the 107mm diameter and other tyre sizes? — The 107mm overall diameter is larger than standard tyre sizes like 100mm options, affecting your vehicle's ground clearance, rollout distance and top speed. Larger diameter tyres generally result in slightly lower acceleration but higher top speed potential. The 107mm size also provides enhanced stability at high speeds due to the increased contact patch from the 53mm width.
- Will these tyres work on the front of my RC car? — These tyres are specifically designed and recommended for rear axle fitment. Using 107mm diameter tyres on both front and rear would alter your vehicle's handling characteristics and may require gear ratio changes to maintain proper gearbox engagement and performance.
- What gearbox modifications do I need if I'm using 107mm rear tyres? — ARRMA recommends using GP5 gears in the front gearbox (ARA311016 for the main input gear at 15T and ARA311017 for the main diff gear at 42T) and GP6 gears in the rear gearbox (ARA311018 for the main input gear at 14T and ARA311019 for the main diff gear at 45T). This compensates for the different rollout values between 107mm rear tyres and 100mm front tyres, ensuring both gearboxes engage properly and your vehicle performs as designed.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are premium quality components ideal for any skill level, though they are most commonly selected by intermediate to advanced RC car UK enthusiasts who understand the importance of quality components and are ready to invest in performance upgrades. Beginners can certainly use these with good results, though they may want to start with more basic wheel and tyre packages.
- How durable are these tyres for regular use? — The high-quality rubber compound and moulded-in belt technology are specifically engineered for long-lasting durability, resisting premature wear through regular use. The tough nylon wheels are designed to withstand impacts and abrasion from various surfaces, making this a durable choice for weekend bashers and competitors alike.
- Can I use these on different vehicle models? — These rear wheels are confirmed compatible with the specific Arrma Felony 6S BLX models listed, but may be compatible with other vehicles featuring 17mm hex rear hubs and clearance for 107mm diameter tyres. Always check your vehicle's compatibility and physical wheel well space before purchasing.
