New axle material

Post by Jack Smith » Fri Jul 14, 2006 2:54 am

This just in...

From this point forward Radikal axles will be manufactured using spring steel, heat treated chromoly. This is due to the quadrupling price of TI.

Axle and hanger production is running full tilt.

When will you be sending me the axles I have been waiting on? My Radikal is in the bottom of the race box until I get them.

Marty have a look at the truck page on silverfish. A guy who is also waiting is now running a grade 8 bolt as an axle. Looks like a good idea.

your running a grade 8 bolt in a multi hundred dollar truck. Something's just not right with having to do that.

Marty , your keeping a "multi hundred dollar truck" in the bottom of a box?? Man.... its a skateboard truck! If you want to use it NOW I gave you a way to do that. Go and buy the most expensive one you can find if it makes you feel any better. Buy a Ti one or a cro mo one.
