I have a bent axle on my sons 2009 Apex MXR, anyone have any luck with getting them straightened? If so where did you take it to have it done?

You can have them straightened but it will brake easy. I would suggest buying a new axle.

GET A DOMINATOR AXLE . IF IT BREAKS OR BENDS THEY REPLACE FOR FREE

Most companys want the bent axel back and they straighten it. then you get it back.
When new axels get back from the heat treat process, they look like a smiley face then straightened, then chromed.

Going by that, I'd think you can straighten it.

Garret, get a new one. Nothing worse than an axle breaking, and then the yard sale begins. :(
