Axial Wraith Alloy Front/Rear Axle Housing Set WR012 by GPM  [WR012]

Wraith axle housing introduction

This alloy front and rear axle housing is provided as a 1set replacement for the Axial Racing Wraith chassis, model WR012. It swaps the stock plastic housings for a metal alternative intended to improve hub stiffness and maintain consistent axle geometry during scale crawling.

Installation notes: the housing installs in the same location as the original plastic units and accepts the Wraith's existing fasteners and axle assemblies. After fitting, verify axle shaft alignment and pinion to spur mesh, and torque hex screws to the manufacturer's recommended settings. If using thicker wheel hexes or aftermarket C-hubs, confirm clearance around the housing prior to final reassembly.

Tuning role: an alloy housing raises rigidity at the wheel hubs, reducing flex under load and altering load transfer through the suspension and tyres. Expect a firmer response on challenging terrain and consider incremental suspension and tyre adjustments to retain desired handling.

For those upgrading Wraith builds, this alloy housing offers a robust replacement that changes drivetrain stiffness and benefits from a short setup and inspection routine after fitting.
