kubitza123 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'd go JJ&A i have one its a good axle and i believe they are the first ones to have made one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilarious Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 since you are going with new, i would look at a jj&a. i like the way the hubs are set in place in the axle with a piece of key stock instead of the lsr drag axle that i have which uses the standard splines on the ends of the axle....

shanYE west Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Mod quad axles use the key way also.. and will save you about 100-150 bucks. They're on ebay for $550 shipped last time I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Did JJ&A put metric hardware on their axles yet? Last time I bought one it had sae studs, bolts, and nuts on it. The rim center actually fit like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireHead Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 JJ&A is the only way to go................ Beware of used LSR axles as their splines fade away over time. :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar Performance Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have to agree. I have had 3 LSR axles in the past. And it always seems like the hubs work themselves loose. Dont get me wrong, they are nice axles. But if you are going to buy new and spend the money, do it wisely and go JJ&A. The Modquad and fireball axles use the same keyway design. I believe that the parts are even interchangable with the JJ&A. As far as the 35-40mm Question. 35mm is the diameter of your stock and aftermarket steel axles. All of your aluminum drag axles are a larger 40mm diameter to be strong enough to not bend and break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireHead Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Is someone gonna answer my question? No, Jeff is still using SAE hardware unless you ask for something special. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanYE west Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Just dont loose any of the hardware for the JJ&A... Dave I. bought some bolts and studs and ended up with a $150 dollar bill charged to his card. I guess "American made hardware isn't cheap"........
