Im looking to replace my rear axle I stripped the gears today. I have heard Axial has some of the best axles. Should I buy the axial or replace the gears in my current axle? An suggestions help

What axles do you have? You really don't need to throw on an Axial axle if you don't swap out the other.....could be different gear ratio and width.

I tried the mind meld thing, but could not determine what your current axles are.

The Axial drive line is very durable on most any scale or crawler setup . ?The problem with giving you a good answer is we don't know what you are currently running.

Well I run axial axles and have never had a problem with them, and I've found several sets on ebay for around $88 which is well worth the money in my opinion

Go on RC4WD and check to see if they have upgrades for the axles. If your not to much for the scale look then try and find you a set of Axial or Losi axles

Or even Bully axles. A decent pair used can be as low as $125 (with motors)......I know, I have some.

Sounds like this is a scaler of some sort with the trex 60's. MOA shouldn't be an option.

Axial axles are considerably wider than the Trex...

What part are you breaking? The ring or pinion gear? It is quite possible that you need to properly shim the pinion gear to get good contact with the ring gear (or vice versa).

Here are the replacement parts that you need to fix yur truck:
