Just wondering if there are any down sides to having extended A-arms and axles? A-arms make it harder to wheelie? Do donuts?

wider is harder to trail ride. also wider the rear axle gives you a little less traction.

Oh, okay I guess it would when you think about it. So if you do mostly trail and flat track riding, is it worth it for the extra stability?

yes they are worth it as long as you dont go to wide you will be ok id suggest for trails 400ex +1 aarms,shock relcatior,400ex shocks and if your not doing big jumps a g-force axle

That's just what I was thinking only possibly +2's. And I though G-force were warrantied. And I was thinking maybe the 450R shocks instead.

yes 450r shocks will work just make shure you use 400ex a-arms besause the relocator is made to work with 400ex a-arms and not 300ex the shock mouting position no the 400ex a-arms is furth out towards the tire and the 300ex a-arms shock mount is closer to the bike

example-if you put 400ex a-arms on and use stock or any 300ex shock it will sit like a flat tracker would very low

Yes the g-force axles are warrantied, but you are going to be breaking those axles more than if you were to buy an axle such as an LSR, or a RPM. You will pay more for those 2 axles, but you won't have to worry about one their axles breaking on you in the middle of a race.

What about DuraBlue? Who makes the longest, and who makes the longest that can also be made stock length with spacers removed?

Pretty Much all aftermarket axles you will find are adjustable from +0 to +4

I've seen a +6 from G-Force, Any1 know if it go back to stock length?

I wouldn't go with a durablue. I hear too much about them breaking. I would get a g-force axle before I got a burablue. LSR or RPM are still your best bets, if you have the money.

My brother has a RPM on his 300ex and it has been on his quad for about about 10 year now and it been through h_ll and back. Its still straight and looks like the day he bought it.
