Which one have you guys seen or used on your quad? Are they stock width or narrower? Heard much on the RAD manufacturing axle? can you used these for regular dune riding or are they stricktly for Drag? any comments good or bad.

They are narrower, most require a special carrier because the axle is so big around. As far as I know all of them are hollow aluminum so I wouldn't plan on doing anything but drags with it

TX is correct. I have been doing some looking around for them. I haven't heard any negative comments about any of them really. JJ and A Racing makes one that I really like the looks and price of, along with some other trick light wheels and stuff. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

If you just want a lighter axle for the dunes the Dura Blue x-33 doesn't weigh much at all and is adjustable.

Ward, is the X-33 the one with the pin drive hubs? It seems to me that these could work loose, I'm probibly wrong and just don't understand how they work.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] That sounds more of what I'd be looking for, cause I don't want to be any narrower than stock and still want to be able to jump and cut it up in the dunes. No major air just 4-5 ft vertical max. do you think the X-33 would hold up to that? I'm not that small either 215-220 lbs in riding gear.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I know weight has a lot to do with it.
