I personally wouldnt run a Durablue from the stories i have heard and there warrenty. The Durablue is made out of a more rigid metal then the LSR so it tends to break rather then bend. I for one would rather have an axle bend then to lose a tire on landing. Also Durablues warrenty is decieving they will straighten an axle for ever but will only replace 1 if it breaks or bends beyond repaair after that your on your own. Lonestar on the other hand will replace no matter how many axles you break basically you buy it once and they replace it forever. Thats my personal opinion on it. I have never ran a durablue and I only have a few hours on my lonestar so this is what I have learned from others over time

The stock MOTO axle is made of a 300 M series steel. A much higher grade of steel than 4130.
I had a mechanical engineer that worked on the Cannondale project tell me that the only axle that came close to the original is made by RPM.
I have held both the original moto axle, and the offerings from DuraBlue (in their unfinished forms) side-by-side. The DuraBlue looks like a malnourished child next to the Cannondale!
I did this at the factory that builds both axles. I like the Moto axle so much that it will be standard equipment when the Blackwidow quad gets built!
