Are these axles as strong as a stock moto axle?

I bent my moto axle in a few spots, but that's all I could manage to do to it. It's actually bent itself back into shape. The Lonestar hasn't bent yet and it has taken a few good hits already. The RPM is straight as an arrow.

I heard that lsr is working on the strippng or has already solved it with a stronger material at the splines. I have a friend that works
there , this is what he told me.

I have also heard the lsr hubs come loose easily I dont know if this is a isolated case or not?

My moto had a RPM on it when I bought it. The splines were pounded out and it was bent in three places. I switched to a stock speed axle with 5 inch spacers . At first I was afraid to jump with it but it has handled all sorts of abuse easily. I would imagine the moto axle would be even stronger.

yes the moto axle is made by RPM. the durablue axles are junk, ive seen about 5 or 6 of them break this year on friend's bikes. lonestar is good, but RPM is the absolute best, ive never seen one break personally, i wrecked my moto really hard and did 0 damage. (it flipped about 4 times) and i have jumped 60-80 foot jumps with no problems. DURABLUE SHOULD BE CALLED DURABREAK. LOL

I am almost positive they were not made by RPM. If they were why would there be no markings on it. Every other piece on the moto was labeled by whomever made it, but they decide not to let RPM label the axle? Doesn't make sense to me.

They don't even look the same when sitting next to each other.

yeah they are totally different. if it were up to me to get a new axle i'd look for a moto personally, i raced one of them hard and never broke it or bend it, had an rpm dominator 1 on and bent it on identical tracks i rode the moto axle..

i put a new rpm on my dale w hen i sold it and i am positive it will hold up.. I race Dominator 2's for the yamaha, do they make them for dales?
