1" Rear Axle Pros/Cons
« on: August 31, 2015, 11:50:58 am »
Hey guys, I'm running a 1" axle in my Mod-XR and was wanting some input.

I've competed in two races and everything has been great, no problems.

So I was wondering if I would be okay moving up to a class like SP with the 1" axle?

Thanks-
Nico

Most everyone is going to say go with 1 1/4" axle. I have run the 1" in a BP for 4 seasons with no issues. Many have bent them. I have also bent 1 1/4" axle in my supermod. I wouldn't change unless I tore something up bad. If you needed parts at a race, most will have extra parts for 1 1/4".
