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

Axial Wraith axle housing overview

This is an alloy front/rear axle housing designed for the Axial Racing Wraith platform, supplied as a 1set replacement by GPM WR012. The part replaces the stock axle housings to provide a stiffer, metal option for scale rock crawling and trail setups. The description focuses on fitment with Wraith components, installation considerations, and how the housing affects driveline alignment and maintenance.

Installation notes: the housing installs in place of the original plastic axle housings and uses existing fasteners and axle assemblies from the Wraith drivetrain. Check axle shaft alignment and pinion/spur mesh after installation, and torque hex screws to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended values. If you use thicker wheel hexes or aftermarket C-hubs, verify clearance around the housing before final assembly.

Tuning role: switching to an alloy housing increases rigidity at the wheel hubs, which can reduce flex under load and change how the vehicle transfers weight through suspension and tires. Expect a firmer feel under heavy crawling or hard impacts, and consider incremental suspension tuning to rebalance handling if required.

For builders upgrading Wraith rigs, this alloy axle housing offers a direct, durable replacement that affects drivetrain stiffness and demands a short setup check. Use it when you want a metal option for increased longevity and predictable axle placement during technical crawling.
