Default Aftermarket axle for Raptor?

I was wondering which axle would be the best choice? Durablue X33, LoneStar, or RPM? Thanks in advance for your replies!!!!

I also have the Lonestar Excalibar axle. And if I had to do it again, I'd go with an RPM. For two reasons:

1) The hubs have to be retightened on a regular basis.

2) It's only adjustable from +1 7/8 to +3 7/8. That's right, it's not a true +4. It's +2 on one side, and +1 7/8 on the other. Those measurements are in direct comparison to the stock axle. Which I had laying next to the Lonestar for comparison. Between this axle and their subframe, I'll never buy another Lonestar product again.

I have a couple of buddies running Durablue axles(one on a Rappy, the other on a Z) and they seem to be fine. I just want to run something different!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I got a durablue too and I love it, not ONE problem yet and it's been on for about a year. Haven't even needed to tighten anything yet!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
