04chase Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 im building my bike to be a 50% hill shooter and 50% dune bike , im ordering a + 6 ladder swinger and im going to be putting a 10 mil cheetah motor together. now im looking into axles i like the jj and a hillshooter axle . not the drag one. i know its a bit more expensive but looks to be better engineering than the lsr and cheaper. i know i can find a steel one for alot cheaper though . just want some feedback on these.

I have had a few of them and you cannot buy a better ally axle. Get the gun drilled hillshooter as they are more resistant to bend than the solid axles (which is contrary to intuition). I reccomend getting the axle straight from JJ&A. They have website you can find by googling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 We have one on the drag bike and it works pretty cool. Only uncool thing is the sae hardware. I wish it was metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04chase Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 my only problem with the gun drilled axles is that they are kind of short. ive got a set of +2 +1 a arms id like to use and i dont want the front to be alot wider than the rear . has anyone had any issues with the solid axle? they say the hillshooter comes up to 28 inch , what is the stocker? even if its stock legnth id go with it but i think its shorter. can someone enlighten me?
