Axial Wraith 6x104.2mm Steel Straight Axle Shaft by GPM SWR238S  [SWR238S]

Straight axle shaft for Wraith

This steel straight axle shaft is an aftermarket replacement produced for Axial Wraith platforms by GPM, supplied under model SWR238S. It is a direct-scale RC drivetrain component intended to replace a worn or damaged straight axle element and restore straight-line driveline alignment in Wraith-scale rigs.

The part’s role is mechanical and straightforward: it serves as the rigid axle member that transmits torque between the differential output and wheel hub assemblies on the Wraith chassis. In routine maintenance or repair it is used when original axles show wear, bending, or when precise shaft runout affects wheel alignment and driveline smoothness.

Installation notes: confirm the axle geometry and length match the Wraith hub spacing before fitment, inspect associated bearings and retainers, and ensure clearance for suspension and steering linkages. After installation, verify wheel rotation and check for binding under suspension compression. For tuning, axles are commonly replaced as part of a broader drivetrain refresh alongside new bearings and hub hardware to maintain predictable handling.
