i would go with a laeger swingarm and a lonestar axle. o and i wouldnt get a durablue axle cause they suck and dont get a lonestar swingarm cause i always see/hear ppl having probs with them...stay away from those 2 and u should be good.

You might as well get houser swingarm scince everything else is houser. I would get either lonestar or RPM axle.

I would get the Houser since like you said everything else you have is Houser, and a RPM Dominator Axle.

Houser swing arms are great. I have one. Get the only axle with a true life time warrenty... RPM.

there is nothing wrong with durablue's. The only reason people think they are bad is because there are way more of them out there so more of them get bent/broke. and about Rpm's waranty. yea you could say they are the only one with a full lifetime waranty but Just try and get them motivated to send you a new one. It'l take along time for them to send you a new one and there costumer support isn't all that hot. Durablue will send you another with no questions asked the next working day. And please people don't start blabing your horror stories about durablue's.

decisions decisions! i dunno, the biggest reason i can see for getting durablue is availability. if i was in a tight spot i could buy another fast and be back in business.

RPM has one of the best customer service departments out there. they are very motivated to replace an axle thats bent or what ever. they pride them selves on being the best and thats what they are, the best, period. Oh yeah, How many pros do you see running durabreak axles??? Now how many run RPM?? Just a thought!

RPM Dominator!! Their customer service is top notch! When I called to order mine I got a guy on the phone and was rappin' to me about an LT they've got in the shop right now that they're working on. Was talking about quads in general and blah, blah, blah. He then proceeds to knock about $50 off the price of my axle and 2 locking nuts. The reason Durablue's bend/break more often is because they're not as good, period. And then to charge the customer $175 per replacement after the first one is absurd. A lifetime warranty is just that, free for life. Not "you pay a pro-rated amount" if it bends.

RPM no doubt. Durablue does not just send you a New Axle. Ask Rico about that. My Dad said if my Brother ever Bends or Breaks his Durablue, we are getting the Free Axle, selling it, and getting a RPM.

Rico didn`t you have a bunch of Problems getting that Free Durablue? If he Bends or Breaks it Racing we will need a New one fast and I don`t think Durablue will be very fast. Plus I think the RPM is better anyways.

I haven't heard any complaints about Lonestar axles, but I love my RPM Dominator axle on my 300, that I just had to go back to them for my 400.

BTW, RPM makes a trick looking swing arm as well, but I really like the looks and reputation of what 400exRacerX has, Laeger:macho

FYI, I got my RPM Dominator axle through C&D Racing, :cool:
