Bearing house

[Duner400ex]

Which bearing housing should i get for my lonestar axle. Which one is better, i was looking at Dennis Kirk and they have the lonestar Twin row bearing kit. Is that one a good one. Which ones do you guys have that you race with. Which one will hold up the longest.


Thanks Duner

i have a lonestar dual row bearing carrier, the machined aluminum kind.in dennis kirk it is 199$,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i got mine from izzy burgard(maker of burgard chassis componets) for 135$ has a grease zerk to, looks nice and the holes work better than the stock slots on the adjustment part

I have a RPM Twin Row axle carrier. It is awsome. Very trick looking, and well made. Although it doesn't have a grease zerk. But why do you need a grease zerk, they are sealed bearings aren't they? RPM also makes the Millenium Axle carrier, which has tappered bearings.

[trx400ex]

a grease zerk let you slide it out and pump grease in , i think its cool

[Dave400ex]

I would get a Lonestar since you have a lonestar axle.

How do you like your RPM axle? That`s all Duncan uses and I have never seen one break, or hear about one breaking. Is it chrome? How much did you pay and who did you get it from? Thanks.

I love my axle. Yes it's chrome and the sproket hub is billet aluminum. I've never heard of one break either. Their are two different sproket hubs you can get. I got the "Race" hub. the standard is good but the "Race" hub is thicker and stronger. FOr the standard i think the price is around $390, mine was $420 i think. I ordered it directly from RPM. They are very nice. Great service. The axle also comes with a lifetime warrenty. NO fine print either. If you break or bend the axle, no matter how, they will send you a new one.

tapered carriers handle side loads better,,than dual row,,,I'll be goin with the tapered version,,,much better for MX guys.

Rico where would i get a tapered bearing. And what is the cost of a tapered bearing.


Thanks Duner

RPM makes a good Tapered bearing carrier. The millenium. Its about 230 or so. RPM is a great company and the people are very nice. Great costomer service.

hey thanks man i was getting ready to ask which one is better for race...i figured it was the tapered because it cost more...seems like everything is like that ..lol...but anyhow ..thanks

There's tons of companies that make the tapered carriers,,I'll be getting one from speedracing....of course. Most tapered carriers run in the $220-$250 range.

[Dave400ex]

Rico, why are you getting a Speedracing instead of a Durablue?

I just like speedracings products,,,I've bought most of there products for the 400ex and like the quality. Not that I have something against durablue carriers I've always told myself when it's time for a new carrier I'm goin with speedracing.
If you look at my sig,,you'll see I like speedracings products.

Rico the Millinnium carrier made by RPM didn't say anything about the 400ex. only the 250r i saw and other different atv's but no 400ex. I think that is going to be he carrier i get because it has an 8000lb limit to it compared to the 500 lb limit for stock.


Thanks Duner

Does RPM have a web site?
