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

Overview for Wraith alloy housings

This alloy front and rear axle housing is supplied as a 1set replacement for Axial Racing Wraith, model WR012. The unit replaces the stock plastic housings to offer a tougher metal option for scale rock crawling and rough trail conditions.

Installation notes: fit the housing where the original plastic housings mount, using the existing fasteners and axle assemblies from the Wraith drivetrain. After fitting, inspect axle alignment and pinion/spur mesh and tighten hex screws to the vehicle manufacturer's torque values. If fitting larger wheel hexes or non-stock C-hubs, verify side and rotational clearance before finishing the build.

Tuning role: an alloy housing will stiffen the hub area, which reduces flex but may alter how the vehicle transfers load through tyres and suspension. Expect a firmer handling characteristic under heavy crawling; make incremental suspension adjustments to find the desired balance.

This alloy housing is a practical upgrade for Wraith builders seeking a metal replacement that changes drivetrain stiffness and calls for a quick setup verification.
