I HAVE A STOCK BENT AXLE ON MY '98 300EX AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT IS THE STRONGEST AND BEST REAR AXLE YOU CAN GET FOR A 300EX THAT IS RACED ON A MX TRACK AND AROUND HOW MUCH DOES ONE COST? PLEASE REPLY! I NEED A NEW AXLE!

 

If my memory serves me correctly Durablue makes and axel that has a lifetime warranty on it. Anyone else heard of this. If that is so i would say that is the best axel. I think it is $350 though so it is expensive.

 

THE X-33 BY DURABLUE

 

Lone star(axcalibur) and RPM make the best axles. Dura blue are the weakest,they bend and break very easily!This is not my personal opinion it is fact.Ask anyone who races mx. Get an axcalibur,you will never break it.

 

I have a brand new Lonestar axcilaber +2 +4 axle with lifetime warrenty. You even bend it or break it agin just send it back and they will send you a new one. I also have Dg hubs i am selling . I paid $369 pplus shipping for this axle and i am selling it for $330 let me know if this will work for you.. Honda stock axle is $199 its better to pay a litte more and have it last a lifetime

 

From what I have read on this forum, Dura-Blue only warranties the first axle, if you bend or break it, they will replace it, after that you are on your own.

 

Jiz,
I never have had any experience with aftermarket axles, but I've only heard good things about Lonestar's axles. Durablues don't sound that great from everything I've heard and read. They are suppose to crack, rust, bend and break more easily than others. RPM axles are great too. They are expensive though! Especially their titanium axle. It's around $600, but it would be worth it I imagine. I would think that the LSR axle would be a great choice. It's not that awfully expensive, and they're suppose to last a long time. That's what I plan on buying when the time comes for me. I hope I helped.

P.S.- I'm from Providence.

 

If you thrash hard, DO NOT get a DuraBlue X-33. All they do is look good. I BROKE mine off within 1 hour of riding. I talked to Gary at DuraBlue, he said the hollow axle does not flex as much as a solid one, so it snapped off. He did'nt come out and say it, but the way he was talking to me, it sounds like they break a lot.
Also, at the time, they didn't have a replacement and I would have had to wait for 4-5 weeks for a new axle. I ended up taking an Eliminator instead, but those cost about $100 less, so basically I got shafted $100 in that deal. He wouldn't reimburse me or give me equal value in hardware. Also, none of my calls were returned. I always had to call back to them (long distance) and finally catch up with Gary. Apparently he is the only person who can deal with warranty returns.
Of course I didn't learn all of this until ater I had to go through it. Learn from my mistake, don't buy a DuraBlue unless you just want a fancy looking quad that can't be jumped.
Funny thing is I raced the same track twice before on my stock axle. I put the DuraBlue on, and SNAP! DNF.

 

I got an RPM Dominator and love it there lifetime
and there adjustable from -2 to +2. And I have heard alot of good things about the Lonestars and alot of bad things about Durablues.
