Durablue +4 axle
#1
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

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.

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?
