The AW-23026-GR aluminium battery case holder is produced as an RC-scale accessory for the Axial Racing Wraith chassis, providing a metal alternative to the factory plastic tray. It is anodized aluminium and intended to secure 1/10 battery packs while maintaining cable access and predictable weight distribution for trail and rock-crawling applications.
This holder is aimed at the Wraith platform; verify chassis mounting points and hole patterns before fitting to other models. The unit clamps the pack and attaches via screws to existing battery mount locations, allowing a direct upgrade without changing the electronics layout when compatible.
Installation guidance: inspect the battery tray area and screw bosses, align the holder so wiring exits remain free from obstruction, and use correct hex fasteners with suitable thread engagement for a secure fit. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage or pack deformation. Consider a medium-strength thread locker on metal-to-metal joints if the holder will be removed frequently.
Impact on tuning: moving from plastic to aluminium can shift a small amount of mass lower and closer to the centreline, which can reduce roll tendencies and provide a firmer platform during slow-technical manoeuvres. Use this upgrade in concert with tyre and suspension adjustments to achieve desired handling characteristics.
