Look into the RPM... If you don't want to spend that much check out the Lonestar.

The only problem with the lonestar that i had was the stock hubs didnt quite fit right .their was alot of play. alot of people just crank down on them I just bought their hubs it was a perfect combo as expected. But youwill also have to pay for it.

I just got one of the new Lone Star axles and everything fit like a glove. Great fit and finish on this axle. I love mine!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The Lonestar axle not fitting the stock hubs was a teething problem that has since been resolved.
I have the axecaliber and its all a perfect fit.
Remember that they make the stuff when you order it,
its not like you will get old stock.

All products are improved after thier first models. The raptor is proof of that.

To give you an example I bought the LSR axle locknut. It was complete crap, and I stripped it without exccessive force. I have since gone back to the stock locknuts. The point is LSR have since replaced the design of that locknut with a much more robust model.

The people who had problems with the fittings probably had one of the early axles.

RPM or Lone Star. They can all break as most things can, but the Durablue in my opinion will break before the others.
