Our stainless axles are designed to bend instead of break. I am still on the only set of straight axles that my comp rig has ever seen. Been in there over 6 months. They have been so bent at times the rig looked like a clown car. Just grab the wheel and straighten it back out. On a side note, we are having some made of more exotic materials but if they snap instead of bending we will not release them. That would be far worse in a competition setting which is what these are designed for. |
