Default Raptor axles

i plan on getting a new axle for my craptor before we go to lil sahara for the snake hunt

i was wondering what you guys suggest and what are the worst parts of each one
i just want it to be under $450

i saw lsr axcaliburs for 360 on partsdirect but i have heard that lonestar is really slow with their warranty service
you know anything about that

i am also looking at rpm which i have yet to hear any negativity about

i dont really know much about durablue i heard they are kinda bada bout their warranties but i was looking at the x-33 pin drive

i will buy billet hubs for any of the others later on so i really would rather not get the durablue unless it is really good

the only other i have heard of is the TEAM axles but i know you gotta buy their hubs
i am willing to do so if they are worth it

i am leaning towards the axcalibur and rpm axles what wuould you suggest

thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I have no complaints with my lsr axle, but makes sure you get aftermarket locking nut or it will be a pain cause they chrome over the threads and the stock nuts dont stretch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

lone star free shipping 349

lone star seller 2

used rpm


rpm with billet lock nut

and when you get the axle besure to get a locking axle nut. much better than the shiiity stock axle nuts that always come loose.

good luck

i've heard a lot of good thing about the RPM, as a matter of fact ive never heard a bad thing about them.

Any of those axles are stonger than stock, i dont care for any of them cuz of the prics, i just picked up a G-force from RMatv, for $199. Lifetime warranty, and that all i care about

The RPM in my opinion is the only axle i would ever buy for the raptor. First it goes up to +5" The LSR i think is 3.5" or 4" total. For around the same price.. around high 300s the RPM is much stronger! Ive seen people bend lsr axles and if you imagine an axle bending it must ne horrible made!!!!! Ive heard of people say that they had horrible service with LSR! I know a guy who had a dent in his RPM axle and he was racing in a week so he called up RPM and said that it had a ding in the axle can i exchange it incase it breaks? and they said sure!! It was unbeleavable! They actually sent him the axle express second day so he can get it in time for his race!!!
