Axial Racing Wraith Steel Universal Drive Shaft - AW-23008-GU by Jazrider  [AW-23008-GU]

Axial Wraith Steel Driveshaft Overview

This steel universal drive shaft for the Axial Racing Wraith, model AW-23008-GU, is an aftermarket replacement aimed at Wraith chassis owners seeking a robust steel option for driveline joints. The component uses a direct-fit geometry to align with the drivetrain layout found on Wraith crawlers and is intended for RC use only.

Installation typically involves removing the stock plastic or alloy driveshaft, aligning splines precisely, and securing the replacement with the vehicle's original fasteners. Trimming or shimming is uncommon for standard Wraith builds, but always verify axle and transmission interface fit before final torque.

As a tuning item, a steel universal shaft offers increased rigidity and improved wear resistance at the cost of slightly higher rotating mass versus lighter alloys or composite shafts. Builders fit steel shafts to steady driveline behavior during slow-speed crawling and high-torque pulls, while monitoring for added stress on nearby drivetrain components.

Choose this steel universal drive shaft when a durable, serviceable RC-scale driveline component is required for an Axial Wraith platform, and confirm installation clearance before use.
