Hey if i put on a Durablue +4" axle without +2" a-arms on my blaster will it be more tippy than it already is because it will act more like a 3 wheeler? I want to race MX and dont have the money to buy a-arms, new front shocks, and the axle at the same time so im wondering if it will work if i just do this? Thanks

 

does anybody even have an educated guess as to what it would do?

 

i wold say get supention first. as for the axel i would think it would make it more stable and if your planning on getting a-arms later then yo will need it also so it could not hurt to get it

 

i would definatly get the shocks first. i just ordered my works triple rate w/ rezzies. then im gettin sre aarms that are only 150 $ if u want more info on the email me a sirroostalot13@aol.com

 

I think that it would make your Blaster more stable than in stock form, but with the a-arms it would be even more stable and less likely to roll over or 2-wheel.

 

i'd say get some A-Arms and shocks first!


Triples, with Res, on +2-arms. And an UltraCross rear

And then get the axle.

 

I broke a new DuraBlue X-33 in about 40 minutes or so. DB said the hollow axle is stiff/doesn't flex. They claimed they couldn't replace the broken one for 4-6 weeks. I didn't want another dangerous thing like that on my quad, so they sent me a solid Eliminator as a replacement. Eliminators cost about $100 less than the X-33, but they would not reimburse me the difference or send me hardware to make it up. I haven't broke the Eliminator yet, and I have gotten some decent air with it. Maybe they are better...

Long story short; WHEN you break your DuraBlue they will probably jerk you around too.

The wide axle width reeeeely helps on the corners, and stability on hill climbs.

If your races have a lot of BIG jumps, you might be better off with new shocks. But I think an axle is most helpful because the MX races are usually won in the corners. It will increase your stability even without a wider front end. It definately will NOT decrease stability.

 

AHHAAHAHAHA, YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE...LOL

 

Listen up! Stay with your stock setup until you have enough money to buy shocks, a-arms, and axle all at the same time. A friend of mine just bought a Durablue +4 axle for his 250R and is saving up for the a-arms, then shocks. It looks stupid and handles stupid. I went in halves with my parents on TCS shocks, Durablue Eliminator +4 axle, and JD Performance +2 a-arms. It took me a whole summer of mowing lawns to get the $1000, but it was worth it.

PS: Why are you putting all your $$$ into a Blaster? I started doing the same thing a couple of years ago and got smart. I sold it and bought a 250R. The 250R out-handles, out-powers, and feels better under you when racing motocross. I think you should ride a 250R and see what I'm talking about before spending so much $$$ on your Blaster. If you're a smart kid you'll know that one day you WILL have to buy a 250R or 400EX if you want any chance in motocross; why not buy it now?
