Well I bought this axle about 1 month ago. rode on it about 2 hours. I was jumping it and it broke with my 110 pound ***. I cant beleive i have broke my frame and an axle what the **** is my problem. Anyway Im gettin a new x-33 and sellin it and buying an RPM. I just hope Durablues customer service is better than there axles:rolleyes: Heres a pic the rest is in the woods with my 400.

Get some shocks, that will solve some of your problems and get a quality axle none of that Durajunk.

Get good shocks and a RPM Dominator axle, you won't have any more trouble.
I have PEP ZPS and a Dominator on my 400ex. I've had them for 4 years and I am 240lb and do 80' jumps.
:macho

I know i need shocks and know all about them. I have been saving forever its hard to get money for my stuff, my mom is about ready to sell mine cause shes tires of **** breaking. The shocks wouldnt of done anything for my axle. I barely jumped and didnt even land hard. I broke my frame about 4 months ago because when i had big tires on it it would land hard. Now its alot better. If you guys would like to start a fund have at it LOL. But i do plan on shocks soon.

Man dude that sucks, I feel bad, you must think I sold you junk or something.. I cant understand it though, Im pretty sure I jumped some nice sized jumps on it and I cant understand why it chose now to break. I figured if it was gonna break, it would have broke along time ago. Like I said though I will send the papers and do everything I can to help you get a new one.

Heres the whole thing. I hope i can still get a new one.

i would try to get the original owner to get the new axle, just have evan say he broke it, they probably wont give it too you if they know you bought it used.

I have unbelievably had good luck with this axle. I have been told that the really old ones where made better. Mine is really old. Keep those hubs if you send the axle back, sell them if they send you another set of hubs.:D

Yeah you need some Shocks for sure. My brother hasn't broke his Eliminator yet, but I'm sure he will one of these days. Hopefully they don't give you to much crap....

Foxrage

I dont know what your problem is mrusk but you need quit posting in all my threads if you dont have anything usefull to say. I dont care if you told me or not but now im telling you to stay the **** out of my threads. i thought i would never have to use my ignore feature.

I dont have any pics of the jump just vids of me hitting it a while back. they are on my website. I cant get any either cause my track is back in the woods and i dont have nuthin to ride.

Out of curiosity What did you hit to snap the axle like that

Foxrage

I hit a small jump fairly easy cause of the snow. ITs a down hill kind of double so you cant case it or anything. I didnt even land hard it was a smoth landing till it popped off.

Number one proble is the x-33 axle is a lighterweight axle made more for the TT use, i had a durabreak woops i mean a durablue eleminator and snapped one of those too, now i run a Lonestar on my R and its great but RPM is the best, better sell the new x-33 quick because you have to pay for the next one you break, good luck
