FAQs
What does "Belted" mean for RC tires?
Belted tires have an internal reinforcement layer, often a fabric or nylon belt, that runs around the circumference of the tire. This helps to prevent the tire from expanding or deforming at high rotational speeds, maintaining a more consistent contact patch and improving stability.
Are these tires suitable for all ARRMA cars?
These tires (ARA550095) are specifically designed for ARRMA mega / 3S applications. It is important to check your specific ARRMA model's specifications to confirm compatibility, as different models may use different wheel and tire sizes.
Can I use these tires on wet surfaces?
While the dBoots Hoons tread offers some grip on various surfaces, they are not specifically designed for extreme wet or muddy conditions. Performance may be reduced in such environments. Clean them thoroughly after wet use.
How many tires are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 2 pieces (2 pc(s)) of dBoots Hoons 35/085 2.4 (White) Belted 5-Spoke tires, pre-mounted on ARRMA wheels.
What is the main advantage of the 5-spoke wheel design?
The 5-spoke wheel design is known for its durability and resistance to impacts, making it a robust choice for demanding RC applications. It also contributes to the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.
How do I clean and maintain these tires?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to preserve the rubber's integrity and prevent premature wear.
Troubleshooting
Tires appear to be expanding excessively at speed (ballooning).
Ensure the "belted" feature is functioning correctly. Check that the tires are properly glued to the wheels and that there are no tears or separations in the tire carcass.
Reduced traction or slipping.
Clean the tires to remove dirt and debris. If the surface is wet or extremely loose, consider terrain-specific tires. Check tire wear; if heavily worn, replacement is recommended.
Tire wobbles or is unbalanced.
Inspect the tire and wheel for any damage or deformities. Ensure the wheel is properly seated on the vehicle's axle. Re-glue any loose areas of the tire to the wheel if necessary.
Tire comes unglued from the wheel.
Clean both the tire bead and the wheel rim thoroughly. Use a high-quality RC tire CA glue to re-adhere the tire to the wheel, ensuring a strong bond.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These tires are specifically designed for ARRMA vehicles intended for mega / 3S power systems. Always verify your model's wheel and tire specifications to ensure compatibility before purchase.
Setup: The tires come pre-mounted on 5-spoke ARRMA wheels. Ensure they are securely attached. For best results, double-check that the wheels are correctly installed on your vehicle's hub carriers, with all nuts and pins properly seated.
Care: After each use, inspect the tires for any damage or embedded debris. Clean the tires with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the rubber compound. Store the RC car in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong tire life.
