The break was caused from abuse so I see no hope in getting any kind of warrenty money.

A stock axel is around $170. A Durablue axel is around $420. Hope this helps

THE BEST axle on the market now is the TEAM industries axle. I'm not sure if they're making one for the Scrambler, I"m told they made the Predator unit. They tested Durablue's til they broke, then made something better.

good luck

i know a person that had a polaris for one week and broke an axle in a field , no jumping , didnt hit anything . polaris would not replace it not even with his lawyer handleing matters . concidered abuse . not a defect .
