well, looks like I'm not gonna make it now, My wheel axle sheared off at the wheel hub, I wont be able to get one in time for the ride tomorrow so my hands are tied. I'll be up and running in a week are so, so I'll be ready for the next ride I hope. I'm just happy it happened at home, and not on the long trail.
LOL I did last week, but it was the front end, not the back. The back has a live axle and Stock the buggy is made for the street and very light duty. As you know I ride off road and I don't hold back most of the time so it was expected that that axle was not gonna last to long, but I got more out of it than I thought I would. The axle is known to fail and most people do the switch to an aftermarket one right away but I was gonna get as much out of it as I could before I had to fork over $170.00 bucks for a new setup. My little brother broke his a few months ago, so we just put a new swing arm on his with a heavier duty axle already on it. I'm just gonna stick with the stock swing arm, beef it up and throw a new axle on it.
The thing is the axle is 1" at the bearings, then where you bolt on the wheel hub to the splines it drops down to 3/4", the twisting at the splines shears em off every time.
