I posted the results under the original thread (Wrong Decision) but I want to make sure everyone knows that the replacement G-Force axle that I recieved from RM held up to bigger jumps and a lot harder landings. I was hearing that its luck of the draw with these axles and on my second one so far so good.

I must be one of the lucky ones, too. Mine has been great, and I've raced some WORCS races and just generally beat the crap out of it. I just checked my hubs the other day and they're still tight. $200 well spent, so far.

Mines fine but my hubs keep getting a lil bit loose. I'm bout to throw a lock washer on them. Or get a breaker bar and torque them *******s down tight.

Thanks Steve, one good thing that came from bending the first one is now I can change out an axle in my sleep!:D

nice, it is fun to be able to take it apart fast. Saturday night, I took my whole side case off, took my clutch apart, and had it back together in about 1 hr. and 10 minutes with messing around. Aure is fun to check it and make sure it is good and not need half a day to do it. steve

Im 220 lbs, Ive had it on there for a few months. Im just starting to run tracks, so hard landings are a common occurrence. All is well so far, I used red loctite on everything so I haven't had trouble with anything coming apart.

I've been running a G-Force for over a year now, and no problems yet. I don't understand how so many people have problems with rear hubs coming loose. I torque mine down to about 100-110 ft-lbs without any lock washers or loc-tite and have yet to experience a hub loosening.

Got a breaker bar and torqued mine down as tight as I could go. So far nothings loose..... fingers crossed...
