I think it’s a Durra Blue but I’m not sure. I got it used from a friend about 3 years ago. I’m going to try and see if I can get them to replace it. There supposed to have a lifetime warranty.

Naaa! It wouldn’t have gone very far. The axel fell out when I put it on the lift.lol
You can see in the photo it was coming out already.

Cycle Ranch has a long up hill with a nice step up at the top. I had been just making it to the flat on top all day Saturday but Sunday morning I tried it and didn’t quite make the flat and cased the rear tires on the lip. I herd a laud crack and felt it give, then the rear dropped down on one side and I almost immediately knew what it was.
I had no problems pulling off to the side and came to smooth stop and I jumped of and looked and sure enough it was the axel, and then as I looked up here comes the wheel and what was left of the axel zooming by.
Man I had that track dialed in and could have taken c class with no problem; I sure was bummed out for the rest of the day. I didn’t get to race but I walked away so the glass is half full if you ask me.lol
I just pulled the rest of the axel out tonight and stuck the stock one in so I’d have a rolling chasse. I’m thinking RPM for a replacement, I here there pretty good.
