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

Wraith alloy axle housing summary

This alloy front and rear axle housing is supplied as a 1set replacement for the Axial Racing Wraith chassis, model WR012. It replaces the stock plastic housings with a metal option aimed at improved stiffness and predictable axle location for scale rock crawling and trail running.

Installation notes: the housing fits in place of the original plastic axle housings and uses the existing fasteners and axle assemblies from the Wraith drivetrain. After fitting, inspect axle shaft alignment and pinion/spur mesh, and torque hex screws to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended values. If you run thicker wheel hexes or aftermarket C-hubs, check clearance around the housing before final assembly.

Tuning role: upgrading to an alloy housing increases rigidity at the hubs, which can reduce flex under load and shift how the chassis transfers weight through the suspension and tyres. Expect a firmer response on heavy crawls or impacts, and consider stepwise suspension adjustments to restore balance if needed.

For builders upgrading Wraith rigs, this alloy axle housing provides a direct, durable replacement that alters drivetrain stiffness and calls for a short setup check before regular running.
