Nac's Racing for $369.00. I got one of the early ones that included the billet hub nut. I like that design more than the stock nuts. After riding it, it's well worth the money. Make's the stock one look like garbage.

I just bought a brand new Lone Star Excaliber axle from a guy that bought it for his Banshee. He didn't even open the box. He said it would fit my Raptor. Well, it doesn't. I called Lonestar and they said they will do an even exchange for a Raptor axle. They said it would be 10 weeks though! I paid $275 for it. What does a Raptor axle go for? Is +3" the widest they make?

The lonestar axcalliber is a 2+2 so it will go 2 inches wider than stock. As for the banshee axle it should of worked, my buddy has a durablue banshee on his. Oh well at least lonestar is treating you right unlike other companies I have heard of.

Magnus, I got my LS axle from the shop I race for and it was $317 actually $289 plus tax. I got it for dealer cost though. I did see in dirtwheels or atv action an add some shop was selling them for $319 which is good compaired to everyone else, so pick your self up a mag and look carefully you can find it for less than $369 Nacs is good and nice but there prices I think are high. Plus some companies out of the magazines will ship for free if the order is over $100. I'll see if I can find that add where I saw them for $319.

I called Lonestar and they told me that they only make a +2 axle for the Raptor. That's because that's the most the rules call for on the race track. And, he said that the Banshee and Raptor bearings are the same, the sprocket or rotor mount wont line up. So, you must get one specifically for the Raptor. I finally ordered a Durablue from my dealer that is +5". Actually, they said it's a Banshee length +3". I got the Eliminator one and it only cost me around $335.00.

Sorry to say, but you got some false information. The Lonestar Excalibar axle is adjustable from +2 to +4. As I have mine set up as a +4. Yes I did measure it and is EXACTLY 4 inches wider than the stock axle.
