I bend my axle on a jump and I want to know what aftermarket axle do you recommand for replace the stock one !

Don't forget, I don't want to bend another one.

When my stock axle bent I bought a Durablue. It snapped completely in half comin off a moderate sized jump only after about 15-20 hours on it! Durablue did honor their lifetime warranty and sent me a new one free, without hassle (first one free, $175 ea. thereafter). I have heard that it is not all that uncommon for Durablue axles to break. If this one breaks, I won't be buying another one for $175. New bearing, seals, etc. would tend to get old and they did'nt offer to replace any of that...........
....just my experience.
Rad Manufacturing Co. is where I'll go next. Good luck!

 

I just ordered a dura-break and am planing to do the whole buy one get one free deal like the last post. I called rad and they told me not to buy one because if I could bend a stock one they were afraid I would break theirs. Check the tread titled something like should have stayed on the ground and you will see my story and dsracer666's response. He loves his rad axle, but you have to buy extended hubs because the axle is shorter than stock. Oh yeah, its $1000.00. But it may be worth it.

thats funny because i called them and told them i bent my stock axle and my durablue and the guy told me the titanium would be the way to go.he said they can make them any width you want.i ordered one in stock width.should have it in a week.it does have a warranty,well kind of.they will replace it at there cost for 5 years.about $600.

 

if you check your website they tell you all the sizes you can order, i think 36in was the longest so if we do a little math 50-36=14in that means you will have 7in on each side to make up. and you can't get a 7in outter offset on a wheel. so i run 2in wheel spacers on each side with a 5in offset.

 

also I just broke my 3rd front shock and warped my 4th rim rear rim and the axle and wheel spacers are still holden strong.


good luck$$$$$$$

 

I did not look at the web site.i just ordered out of a magazine.the guy asked me what width i wanted and i told him stock.he said nothing about a max width of 36" i better call him back.

 

I think stock width is 36 but the ds hubs add an extra inch on each side. and the stock rims have a 6in offset.

 

I have a Rad axel and it is excatly the same width as the stock axel[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
