i got one bout a year ago from a buddy on a trade, he was worried about strength LOL. so it went in my wifes shee, and so far she has cost me a swingarm and carrier from clippin a tree with the back tire and the axle is still true as hell. its identical to the durablue eliminator axle. peel the stickers and other than the axle nut ya cant tellem apart. its a decent axle, especially after all the crap she was sliding into when she 1st got her shee. i would definatley go with another one just because of what i seen her do to hers when she hit the tree LOL
