I have a buddy who need a axle now that he got his a-arms but cant really afford the RPM or Lonestar. Are the dura blue axles any good or should he just hold off and save for a lil while longer. Is the Dura Blue as strong as stock?

Do they have any warranty with the Dura BLue

Durablue is stronger than stock. The warranty with Durablue is not near as good as lsr or rpm. They give you one for free and then it's like 145 bucks, or so, every one after that. The other two are free every time, just pay for shipping. I'd tell him to save his money for a little bit and get a lsr. Just my opinion. A lot of people don't like Durablue. I've never delt with them before, so I can't say anything bad about them. I know I like my lsr, that I can say for sure.

RPM:macho got a sweet deal used on mine, 3 rides, its like new paid 350 shipped to my door which is a pretty decent deal for a brand new axle without a scratch on it, see what you can find, im sure you can find an lsr for pretty cheap in good condition

If you are going to race, buy the rpm. Lonetar will bend every time you hit hard, trust me. The new one I got in September has been back for restraightening now 4 times.

Has anyone ever broke an RPM? What about these new team industries axles are they good or not.

Ive never broke one let alone bent one. But i have seen one broken rpm axle, They all will break. Rpm's just arent as likely too.

if your were down at the GNC race round 2 for some reason a lot of people were having troubles with their rpm axle... Tim Farr snapped his, Jasmin Plante said that he has had problems with rpm and went back with LSR, and some other riders out there were having trouble with rpm <- Obvisily rpm will cover that with their warrenty...

either one LSR or RPM are the only way to go, hands down they are the best of the best....

Haven't heard much about team industries, they look like to be a new up and comer

I would get a lonestar. They are lighter and more durable than durabrick. I have had great success with my +2.
