my buddy bent his the other day on his raptor, i'm not sure exactly what he did to bend it though, but i heard he landed a little sideways on a double. really sucks, i was wanting to get one but i don't think it would last one day at my track. oh well, time to save for a lsr

I would definitely advise against the durablue.... MULTIPLE horror stories with those... As far as the G-force goes, I also have started hearing some negative comments about those as well, although I havent seen the damage in person either yet...

Stick to an LSR or RPM... I have an LSR and have had no problems with them at all... I damaged one before (but Im pretty sure just about any axle would have been damaged from that landing) and they replaced it for me no problem...

I've always said you get what you pay for. I said that for this axle too. Save and get an LSR or and RPM.

is the gforce stronger than the OEM? because i had no problems with the stock one until the splines got stripped

Thanks

Durablue has a lifetime warranty, but don't let that fool ya, it's only at their discretion. I have heard mixed reviews on the gforce.

Like everyone else said, save your pennies and go with either LSR or RPM.

i just got the g-force axle for my yfz and i am very impresed. it even comes with a limited lifetime warrenty. it looks the same as lonestar, rpm, and durablue w/o the HIGH PRICE. I would definetly buy another. cannot be beat for that low of a price.
