Durable alloy hex for Wraith wheel mounting

This machined alloy hex is supplied in an orange anodized finish and is created as a direct replacement for the molded wheel hex used on Axial Racing Wraith assemblies. Its stiffer construction helps preserve the wheel-to-axle interface and keeps alignment more consistent during demanding crawling.

Effect on setup: as the interface between wheel, spacer and axle, hub material and offset selection will influence alignment and tyre response to suspension inputs. Replacing a plastic hex with aluminum is a common upgrade to remove play and refine wheel positioning.

Service recommendations: verify correct fit against your Wraith wheels and axles before final assembly, ensure there is no binding and that wheels rotate freely, and inspect mating surfaces after heavy sessions for any signs of wear or damage. The orange finish simplifies identification when swapping components.

Aluminum provides greater rigidity and resistance to deformation versus molded plastic, which reduces slop at the wheel mount; exact strength gain depends on loading and impact conditions.
Minor nicks can sometimes be dressed out, but if the mating faces or hex profile are distorted it is best to replace the unit to preserve safe alignment and fitment.
Inspect the hub after any heavy impact or after several intense sessions; check for burrs, deformation or loosening hardware and address any issues before further use.
