This attention to convenience is what makes ARRMA such a trusted name in the RC hobby community.
Key Features
- Tough Composite Material Construction — The wheelie bar is precision-moulded from durable composite material, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to impacts and wear. This ensures the component will perform reliably over extended periods of use, whether you're bashing in your garden or competing at your local RC track.
- Prevents Back-Flips During Hard Acceleration — The primary function of a wheelie bar is to create stability and avoid unwanted back-flips when accelerating hard. This feature is particularly important for monster trucks and stadium trucks that can become unstable under powerful acceleration, allowing you to push your RC car to its limits with confidence.
- Rear Bumper Installation — The wheelie bar fits to the rear bumper of compatible ARRMA vehicles, integrating seamlessly with your truck's existing chassis design. This mounting position is engineered to provide optimal support during acceleration without interfering with normal driving dynamics.
- Fully Assembled and Ready to Install — Unlike many aftermarket RC parts that require assembly, this wheelie bar arrives fully assembled from the factory. This means you can have your truck upgraded and ready to run within minutes, without the need for complex building or technical knowledge.
- Complete Mounting Hardware Included — The set includes four button head screws M3 x 12mm, providing everything you need to securely attach the wheelie bar to your vehicle. No hunting for the right fasteners or making trips to the hobby shop – everything required is in the box.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set is engineered specifically for the demands of high-performance RC vehicles. The composite material used in its construction offers an excellent balance between rigidity and weight, ensuring it provides effective support during acceleration without adding unnecessary mass to your vehicle. The precision-moulded design means tolerances are consistent, which is essential for reliable performance across different driving conditions. The wheelie bar is compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA 1/10 scale vehicles, including the Gorgon 2WD brushed monster truck family, the Granite 4X4 brushless monsters trucks (both the 3S and MEGA variants), the Vorteks 2WD and 4WD brushless stadium trucks, the Kraton 4S 4X4 brushless speed truck, the Quake 223S brushless 2WD monster truck, the Big Rock 3S 4X4 brushless monster truck, and the 1/8 scale Typhon 3S 4X4 brushless buggy. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile upgrade for multiple ARRMA platforms in your collection. The M3 x 12mm button head screws provide secure fastening to the rear bumper while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a wheelie bar and why do I need one on my RC monster truck? — A wheelie bar is a support structure that mounts to the rear of your RC vehicle and helps prevent back-flips during hard acceleration. When you apply full throttle, the weight transfer of your truck can cause the front wheels to lift excessively, potentially flipping the vehicle backwards. The wheelie bar provides a contact point that prevents this, keeping your truck stable and allowing you to accelerate hard without risking damage or loss of control. This is particularly valuable for 4WD brushless monster trucks and high-powered RC cars where acceleration is fierce.
- Will this wheelie bar fit my ARRMA RC car? — The ARRMA Wheelie Bar Set Z-ARA320613 is compatible with a wide range of ARRMA 1/10 scale vehicles including the Gorgon 2WD and 4WD variants, Granite 4X4 brushless models, Vorteks 2WD and 4X4 brushless trucks, Kraton 4S 4X4, Quake 223S, and Big Rock 3S, plus the 1/8 Typhon 3S. Check the comprehensive compatibility list to confirm your specific model is supported before purchasing.
- How difficult is it to install this wheelie bar on my RC truck? — Installation is straightforward because the wheelie bar arrives fully assembled and ready to fit. The set includes all necessary mounting hardware (four M3 x 12mm button head screws), so you simply need to position the bar on your vehicle's rear bumper and secure it with the provided screws. No additional tools, parts or technical expertise are required – this is an upgrade that any RC enthusiast can complete in minutes.
- Is this wheelie bar suitable for beginners learning about RC trucks? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst wheelie bars are optional rather than essential, they are an excellent upgrade for beginner RC enthusiasts because they add stability and help prevent damage from back-flips during learning. Many newer RC drivers accidentally cause back-flips whilst getting used to powerful acceleration, so adding a wheelie bar is a practical investment that protects your vehicle and builds confidence as you develop your driving skills.
- What material is the wheelie bar made from and how durable is it? — The wheelie bar is precision-moulded from tough composite material, which offers excellent durability and impact resistance. Composite materials are ideal for RC car components because they are lighter than metal whilst maintaining strength and rigidity. This material choice ensures your wheelie bar will withstand the demands of regular use and bashing without cracking or failing.
