today i went to a race on my blaster. there were 4 blasters in all. they were all highly modified. all of them had beadlock rims, aftermarket pipes, engine work, and aftermarket front shocks, one even had lonestar a-amrs. i was in 3rd place off the gate and on the final lap i went to pass this guy and hit the jump to big. i landed and BANG, i bottomed out my shocks and looked and noticed my left tire was very wobbly. this means my axle is bent, right?and isn't it a coincadence, it happened the day after i put my wheel spacers on.i finished 2nd place out of 4 the first moto but the second i had a DNS because i didn't try to drive with a bent axle., so overall i got fourth,man i was mad. i worked hard for that second place finish.
p.s.-does anyone have a cheap lonestar axle for sale

The wider you go, the more leverage is present. You have no choice but to go aftermarket. Try a Redline Performance Machines dominator axle. It sure works great on my Banshee. And, if it bends they will replace if free.

Sounds like your blaster still needs to more stuff.

Stock blaster shocks are useless for anything more than casual riding.

I'd say get a durablue or a Lonestar axle, adjustable would be best. I'd go with +4 personally.
