Stub axle snapped

[ktmkurt]

I have a broken stub axle part # ven-8367
and I havn't even ran it yet. I put the crawler
on the box. I dropped the front end on the box
from about 2"-3" off the box and it snapped.
I can't beleive how fragile it is. I guess it is one
that got over heat treated. It kinda bumms me
out that it broke and I haven't even ran it yet.
Do you think I will have any troubles with the other three?

There has been numerous threads that have pointed out that the axles were over-heated, How can you be surprised at how fragile they are when you see all the posts and pictures. I broke one as well but I knew it would happened and wasn't bummed out. I was actually expecting it to happen anyways. The customer service is top-notch. Just be glad you did't break it out on the rocks and end your day. I'm sure they'll send you out a coule just in case it happens again.

replacements. Their customer service is second to none.
