When you guys got your new ones where they different better or the same crap? just curious cause if there the same crap i ll sell my new one and get An RPM. Lonestars bend so i dont want one of them. Any other good axles out there? Thanks

Hmm, maybe instead of Durablue they should be called Dura-Two. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Does anyone else know of a company that makes an axle for the raptor sides durablue, lonestar or RPM. Any one running a RPM?

I'm running a LoneStar on my 250R and wasn't aware that they are known for bending? If I were buying a new one today, I would probably go with RPM. Their customer service has been great and they seem to stand behind their products. I've spoken with Mark several times and he's a real nice and patient guy. Let me know if you get the RPM, I'd like to hear how you like it???

i busted my durablue eliminator in half,i was lucky and i sent it back to the dealer i bought it from, they exchanged it for a lonestar,rpm said it will be a few more months,6, there axel will be 2 in. thick and you will need there carrier made for the axel,i flipped my raptor four times tuesday trying to triple into the whoops and bent my steering stem any one replaced that piece yet? oh yeah by the way the rpm will cost over $600 with the carrier, the lady said that they are also developing a swing arm to match

mine was the eliminator. I was thinking of the x33 but the bolt on hub design i think is garbage. Never stay tight where out the hubs. you get the point. guess i ll give lonestar a try. i realy hope that one is better and hope it doesnt snap or bend. thanks for all the help guys!
