You HAD to post that photo, didn't you George? It gets me every time I see it.
(And when I FINALY go for a Air-Bud shot of my own, everyone's gonna wonder why I have a helmet on with a tinted lens)

I've bent a few...not really sure how.

I havent bent a axle yet,,,not really sure how?

Not as funny as yours, George.

that's ok Larry, I average you out. I think I've only been on 3 rides where I didn't bend any axles. i ran my racer for a grand total of 8 minutes at the last Busco ride and killed both fronts. the Wolf faired a little better that trip. no bent axles, but i broke one. Whippers axles are on the "someday list"

take your axle supper heat them red hot and drop them in hydro oil then you wont bend them as often

haha guys im trying to fix mine but your giving me all these ideas i hope it lasts, i have the perfect jump

[LarryW]

I wonder if the first gen axles are shorter or if its just the lighter machine or maybe that I only have 16hp? Maybe they made them out of better steel back then? So many questions, lol.

i got a 50hp 440cc two stroke Polaris, so i shouldn't have any trouble getting her airborne, but that might have been my problem in the first place with twisting them axles and hubs off haha

[countrycummins99]

from what ive heard the first axels from the factory were hardned were as later ones were just soft cold rolled

conversion done just need to change out bearings and make a roll bar i have a feeling we just might have stumbled upon a combination that going to push the 60mph barrier hopefully
