Key Features
- Pre-Glued Construction — These tyres arrive already glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for tyre glue, messy preparation, and the waiting time required for adhesive to cure, meaning you can install them and drive immediately after unboxing.
- Big Block Tread Pattern — The distinctive Big Block tread design features large, aggressive lugs that provide exceptional bite and grip on loose, sandy, and muddy terrain whilst maintaining excellent contact patch stability on harder surfaces.
- Dual Tyre Set — This product includes two complete tyres, giving you a matched pair that ensures consistent handling and predictable steering response across your vehicle's axle.
- ARRMA Quality Assurance — Manufactured to ARRMA's strict standards, these dBoots tyres represent the same engineering excellence found in factory-spec brushless RC trucks, ensuring compatibility and performance reliability.
- Monster Truck and Stunt Truck Application — Specifically designed and tested for use with ARRMA's premium 1/5 scale models including the KRATON 8S and OUTCAST 8S platforms, guaranteeing fitment and optimal performance characteristics.
- Enhanced Off-Road Performance — The compound and tread geometry work together to deliver superior acceleration traction, cornering grip, and braking stability compared to standard tyres, making these ideal for racing or aggressive bashing.
Technical Performance
The dBoots Back-Flip Big Block MT Tires represent a significant engineering achievement in RC tyre design. The Big Block tread pattern incorporates strategically positioned lugs that maximise contact with uneven terrain whilst the overall tyre construction provides the durability required for high-speed running on a brushless RC truck. The pre-glued nature of these tyres means the adhesive bond has been professionally applied and cured to OEM specifications, ensuring the tyre will not separate from the wheel during aggressive acceleration, hard cornering, or high-impact landings typical of stunt truck operation. The tyres are designed to work seamlessly with ARRMA's 1/5 scale brushless vehicles, which deliver extreme power and torque through the suspension and drivetrain. The compound used in these dBoots tyres balances grip with longevity, providing extended tread life even under the demanding conditions of competitive racing or regular weekend bashing. The tyre sidewalls are reinforced to resist damage during aggressive cornering and impact scenarios, whilst the overall construction maintains the low unsprung weight necessary for responsive handling on an RC truck platform.

They may also fit other ARRMA 1/5 scale models, but we recommend checking your specific vehicle's manual or contacting our team to confirm fitment before purchase.
- Are these tyres already glued to the wheels? — Yes, the dBoots Back-Flip Big Block MT Tires arrive pre-glued, which means they are ready to install directly onto your vehicle without requiring tyre glue, preparation, or curing time. This makes them an excellent choice for drivers who want to minimise setup time and get their RC truck running immediately.
- What is the Big Block tread pattern designed for? — The Big Block tread pattern features large, aggressive lugs optimised for off-road terrain including dirt, sand, mud, and grass. The design provides exceptional traction during acceleration and cornering whilst maintaining stability on mixed and harder surfaces, making these tyres versatile across various track conditions and natural terrain.
- Are these suitable for racing or competitive RC use? — Yes, the dBoots Back-Flip Big Block MT Tires are engineered to ARRMA's factory specifications and are suitable for both competitive racing and recreational bashing. The compound and tread design deliver the grip and durability required for high-performance driving in racing environments as well as the durability needed for regular recreational use.
- What makes these different from standard RC tyres? — These dBoots tyres feature the Big Block tread pattern specifically designed for maximum traction on loose terrain, and they arrive pre-glued to eliminate preparation steps. The compound is formulated for the extreme power and torque output of ARRMA's brushless 1/5 scale trucks, providing superior performance compared to generic or lower-specification tyre options.
- Will these fit my ARRMA Outcast? — These dBoots Back-Flip Big Block MT Tires are officially compatible with the ARRMA 1/5 OUTCAST 8S EXB AVC 4X4 RTR Brushless Stunt Truck, making them an excellent choice for Outcast owners looking to upgrade traction and off-road performance.

- How long will these tyres last during regular driving? — The lifespan of these tyres depends on driving style, terrain, and frequency of use.
