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

Technical overview of the WR012 housing

This alloy front and rear axle housing is supplied as a 1set replacement for the Axial Racing Wraith, model WR012. It is designed to replace factory plastic housings with a metal alternative that provides firmer axle location and predictable behaviour under load while remaining compatible with Wraith drivetrain components.

Installation notes: the housing installs into the original mounting positions and accepts the existing fasteners and axle assemblies. During setup, confirm axle shaft alignment, check pinion to spur mesh, and torque hex screws to the vehicle manufacturer's specified values. If integrating larger wheel hexes or aftermarket hubs, verify mechanical clearance around the housing prior to final assembly.

Tuning considerations: upgrading to an alloy housing increases structural stiffness at the hub ends, which reduces flex and can alter how weight is transferred through suspension and tyres. Expect a firmer handling characteristic on technical lines and review suspension settings incrementally to maintain intended performance.

This housing suits builders looking for a metal replacement that tightens axle location and requires a short post-fit inspection to verify alignment and gear mesh.
