Key Features
- Multi-surface all-road tyres — The dBoots Hoons tyre compound is specifically formulated to deliver awesome traction in all conditions, whether you're driving on asphalt, concrete, dirt or mixed surfaces, making them genuinely versatile for any RC car UK driver who encounters varied terrain.
- Molded-in belt for high-speed stability — The integrated belt design reinforces the tyre sidewalls and helps maintain stability during high-speed driving, preventing tyre roll and ensuring consistent handling characteristics even during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
- High-quality rubber construction — These premium tyres are manufactured using durable rubber compounds that resist wear and degradation, giving you extended tread life and consistent performance across multiple driving sessions throughout the season.
- Pre-glued installation — No need to spend hours measuring, applying glue and waiting for adhesive to cure; these tyres arrive pre-glued to the wheels and ready to bolt straight onto your RC model, saving valuable setup time and ensuring trouble-free fit and future servicing.
- Five-spoke multi-spoke wheel design — The stylish multi-spoke design isn't just for looks; the increased number of spokes enhances overall wheel strength and rigidity, providing better load distribution during extreme driving action and more predictable handling behaviour.
- Tough nylon wheel construction — The injection-moulded nylon wheels are engineered for durability across all surfaces and driving conditions, resisting impacts and deformation that softer materials might not tolerate.
- 17mm hex connection — The 17mm hex drive system provides maximum strength during extreme driving action, whilst the standardised hex size ensures easy servicing, quick tyre changes and broad compatibility with ARRMA model vehicles.
- Head-turning black wheel finish — The black colour scheme complements ARRMA's contemporary styling and works with virtually any vehicle colour scheme, maintaining the modern aesthetic of your RC model.
- High-quality insert support — The specially designed inserts provide excellent structural support for the tyre tread, engineered to deliver the perfect balance between aggressive grip characteristics and easy handling that won't make your vehicle twitchy or unpredictable.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA DBoots Hoons 42/100 2.9 tyres represent genuine engineering excellence in the RC tyre market. The overall diameter of 3.94 inches (100mm) combined with the 2.9-inch inner/outer wheel diameter ratio delivers optimal roll-out characteristics for high-speed street bash driving and mixed-surface running. The 1.69-inch (43mm) width provides a contact patch balanced between grip and rolling resistance, whilst the medium-hardness compound ensures the white tyres maintain traction across temperature variations without becoming either greasy or overly hard. The inner wheel bead diameter of 3.27 inches (83mm) and outer bead diameter of 2.95 inches (75mm) ensure secure mounting on ARRMA wheels with minimal sidewall stress. These pre-mounted tyres are engineered for vehicles in the 1/7 and 1/8 scale classes, including compatibility with ARRMA's renowned brushless platform vehicles such as the Felony 6S, Infraction 6S, Limitless 6S and Typhon series. The belted construction works harmoniously with modern brushless motors and high-capacity LiPo batteries, providing the traction stability needed for high-speed running whilst the quality rubber compound resists the increased heat generation from brushless drivetrain components. Whether you're running 3S, 4S or 6S power, these wheels will maintain composure and deliver consistent lap times across multiple battery cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these pre-mounted tyres suitable for all ARRMA models? — These dBoots Hoons tyres are designed specifically for ARRMA 1/7 and 1/8 scale vehicles. They are listed as standard parts for the Felony 6S, Infraction 6S AVC, Infraction 6S, Limitless 6S, and various Typhon models. Before purchasing, verify your specific model against the compatibility list to ensure correct fitment.
- Do I need to glue these tyres myself? — No, one of the major advantages of this product is that the dBoots Hoons tyres come pre-glued to the wheels. They are ready to bolt straight onto your RC car UK vehicle, eliminating the time-consuming and messy process of hand-gluing tyres yourself.
- What is the advantage of the molded-in belt? — The integrated belt reinforces the tyre structure and provides crucial stability at high speeds, preventing excessive tyre roll and sidewall deformation. This is especially important for brushless RC vehicles running on high-capacity batteries where top speeds can exceed 50mph, ensuring your tyres maintain their shape and contact patch under cornering forces.
- Are the wheels durable enough for aggressive driving? — Yes, the tough nylon construction and robust five-spoke design are specifically engineered to withstand extreme driving action. The 17mm hex connection system provides maximum strength during impacts and hard landings, though naturally the limits depend on your specific driving style and terrain.
- What is the difference between the white, silver and gold compound options? — While the source confirms these three colour options are available as separate products, the specific performance differences between compounds are not detailed in the available technical documentation. Generally, different coloured compounds in the RC market are formulated for varying track conditions, temperatures and surfaces, but for detailed guidance on which compound suits your specific climate and driving conditions, we recommend contacting our experienced team.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre life depends entirely on your driving frequency, style, surfaces and conditions. The high-quality rubber construction is designed for extended durability, but frequent aggressive bashing will naturally wear tyres faster than smooth circuit running. These are premium-grade components that will outlast budget alternatives significantly.
- Will these fit my specific ARRMA model? — The wheels feature a standard 17mm hex connection system. Check the compatibility list in the technical specifications, which includes the Felony 6S, Infraction 6S, Infraction 6S AVC, Limitless 6S, Limitless 8S, and Typhon variants. If your model isn't listed, these are likely incompatible.
