Default G-force axle and spacers

Does anyone have the g-force axle?? is it durable, or does it come with a lifetime warranty??? How about aluminum front spacers, how do those hold up?? Ive had the dura blue kind in the rear and one bent. Im guessing the aluminum ones are stronger? Im looking at getting that axle and aluminum front spacers for my R

I have a G-force, on my 450r. I am 260pounds, and jump the the dunes, 4th gear alot. It has not bent, or shown any signs of trouble. It maybe a little heavier than the $400, but for 2 bills its a good deal.

I can't help with the wheel spacers. I have a set of dura-blue spacers, but can not see how they would bend.

Thanks for the input! The dura blue spacers I had were in the rear and somehow one bent into a kinda u-shape making it vibrate horribly! I jump alot but not high enough to bend something like that, cheap durabreak

why buy front wheel spacers when u can flip ur wheels around for 1.5+ on each side and the only cost is 2 new vavle steams........ all my buddies have it done, first thing i did to my 400

I cant because of my beadlocks, my brother did that to his 400ex and all the front end bearings were shot to hell. Flipping front rims=not a good idea

Flipping your wheels or adding spaces is going to have the same effect on your wheel bearings. thats additional stress. depends how hard you ride as to whats gonna work out for you. If you beatin the hell outta your quad and hittin stuff hard your better off going with longer A arms wich requires shocks.. also adding wheel spacers will soften your front suspension and shocks should be adjusted in kind. the added leverage could cause issues.

I have a G-force Axle and im kinda hard on stuff. it seems to work pretty effectivly.. I thought i had bent it last time i was in the dunes but turned out my hubs were loose and thats what was casin my tires to wobble [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I broke a couple Durablue axles and i wouldnt recomend them. Lonestar Axcalibers are good but they carry a hefty price tag as TP stated..
