This aluminium rear axle lock-out is an RC-scale upgrade tailored for the Axial Wraith chassis. The black finish and rigid material provide a firmer mounting interface compared with softer stock components, aiming to minimise flex at the axle-chassis junction.
Installation replaces the original rear axle mounting piece on Wraith models; some disassembly of the rear axle area is necessary to remove the factory part and install the aluminium lock-out. Ensure alignment is correct and confirm the axle rotates freely before final torqueing to prevent binding.
As a tuning component the lock-out helps stabilise axle geometry under load, which can assist with achieving repeatable handling when refining suspension and drivetrain settings.
