Key Features

- Four-Piece Set — This set includes four individual hex hubs, providing complete coverage for all four wheels of your RC vehicle, which means you have full redundancy and can maintain consistent performance across your entire vehicle during operation.
- Genuine Axial Racing Component — Manufactured by Axial Racing, these hubs meet the original equipment specifications and quality standards, guaranteeing reliability and longevity that aftermarket alternatives may not provide, which is crucial for maintaining your RC investment.
- Designed for Wraith Compatibility — Specifically engineered for the Axial Wraith platform, these hubs are optimised for the geometry, torque specifications and performance characteristics of this popular RC crawler, ensuring they perform exactly as intended.

Technical Performance
The AXIAL Hex Hub Conv Set represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demanding requirements of RC crawling and trail running. The 12mm hex configuration is carefully engineered to provide optimal grip and torque transfer from your motor and transmission to your wheels, which is critical for the traction and control that RC enthusiasts demand during technical terrain navigation. The hub design balances durability with lightweight construction, ensuring that added rotational mass is minimised whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to handle the forces generated during acceleration, braking and cornering. In RC vehicles, the connection between the axle and wheel is critical to performance; inferior hubs can slip under load, causing loss of traction and unpredictable handling. The genuine Axial Racing specification ensures proper material composition, precision machining and tolerance control that keeps your RC car performing consistently. Whether you are running through rocks, sand, mud or grass, having quality hubs means your RC vehicle responds predictably to your control inputs, maintaining the precision handling that serious RC drivers expect. The four-piece configuration allows you to maintain your entire vehicle or keep spares on hand for competitive running or intensive bashup sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a hex hub and why do I need a replacement set for my Axial RC vehicle? — Hex hubs are the precision components that connect your wheels to your vehicle's axles and drivetrain. They experience continuous stress during RC operation, including rotational forces, impact loads and torque from acceleration. Over time, the internal hex key mechanism can wear, strip or become damaged, causing sloppy wheel attachment, loss of traction and unpredictable handling. A quality replacement set like this AXIAL hex hub conversion set ensures your vehicle maintains tight mechanical tolerances and reliable performance. Having spare hubs on hand means you can quickly swap them out if damage occurs, keeping your RC car running rather than sidelined for repairs.
- Is the AXIAL Hex Hub Conv Set compatible with my Axial RC crawler? — This set is specifically designed for Axial Wraith models and compatible Axial vehicles that use 12mm hex specifications. The Wraith is one of Axial's most popular platforms, and this conversion set is engineered to work seamlessly with that vehicle. If you own other Axial models, verify that they use 12mm hex hubs before ordering; whilst 12mm is a common standard, some older or specialist Axial models may use different sizes. When in doubt, consult your vehicle's documentation or contact the RC Model Shop team for compatibility confirmation.
- How many hubs come in this set and why is it four pieces? — This set contains four hex hubs, one for each wheel on your RC vehicle. Including all four hubs means you can replace the complete set simultaneously, ensuring uniform performance across all four wheels. This is important because if hubs are worn unevenly, your vehicle may handle differently on different sides, causing unpredictable behaviour. Many RC enthusiasts keep multiple sets on hand for intensive running seasons or competitive events where you want to ensure all components are in fresh condition.
- Can I use these AXIAL hex hubs as upgrades or replacements on other RC vehicles? — The 12mm hex size is a standard specification used by Axial and some other manufacturers. Whilst other brands may use 12mm hex, these hubs are engineered specifically for Axial geometry and specifications. For maximum compatibility and performance, they are best suited to Axial vehicles. If you want to adapt them to other brands, verify that your vehicle uses identical 12mm hex specifications and that the overall dimensions match your existing hubs.
- Are these genuine Axial Racing parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Axial Racing components manufactured to original equipment specifications. The model number Z-AX31074 confirms they are authentic Axial parts. Genuine components ensure proper fit, performance characteristics and durability that aftermarket alternatives may not guarantee. For serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability, choosing genuine manufacturer parts like these is the professional choice.
