broken axles

[middleman102002]

what axle have you actually broken or seen broken from firsthand experience

LSR
Durablue
RPM
Firestick
G-Force

these are all i could think of

what about stock?> does bending an axle count?

[middleman102002]

im really just interested in aftermarket i cant change the poll or i would add stock

im more interested in seeing the comparasion between aftermarket companies

You would have to smack your quad around a lot or be Tim Farr or John Natalie to break an RPM. I have not heard of anybody breaking one. It is also very hard to bend one to were it is noticeable.

Ive seen durablue and LSR break, bend, strip, all the good stuff. RPM havent seen one yet.

[eastside 400]

this is how it goes, from as much as i know...

Durablue-break
LSR-bend mostly but some break with a real bad landing.
RPM,Team-are the stongest but the price is higher

I personally run LSR, i have 2 of them cuz my first one bent so i sent it back and bought another one while i was waiting so i wouldnt have a down time, i like the LSR because they fix them for free no ?'s asked. and the price isnt real high on the LSR, i think id stay away from G-force

I've not yet seen one g-force bend or break. I have seen about 8 durablue's break.
I am legally blind and dont always land the straitest and have yet to bend the g-force on my R, or the lsr on my 416ex

I bent a RPM Dom II. It also broke when RPM tried to straighten it. They gave me a new one and no problems since. I think it was just a bad one, because the bend started close to the sprocket not in a normal place to bend. I also had a RPM on my 300ex and put that axle through h_ll and it never bent. I even hit a tree during a hare scramble, the tree bent my foot peg and did not even phase the axle. I will always have a RPM on any quad I own.

i have never seen a RPM break or bend, the others i have seen either bent or break

You forgot the TEAM axle, wich is probally good as the RPM

Did RPM give you new ones each time?

[kbass24emtp]

What did they do for the broken ones?

[kbass24emtp]

So you had to buy new axles to replace the broken ones? I'm asking because I just had one replaced that broke when they tried to straighten it. Now the one that replaced my bent one broke right by the spines by the wheel hub on the first ride.
