I thought there was a good chance that I might have issues with these axles bending or wearing out, but after 2 months of frequent use, they haven't shown any sign of wear. Update - I have now had these for 11 months and I am still happy with them and and using them, I had one bend slightly (less than 1mm off centre) in a crash but I was able to bend it back using some shock shaft pliers. Still no issues with wear around the pin holes. Would I suggest these for everyone? No, they are not as durable as the stock ones which anyone who knows about titanium should be aware of. If your car is prone to having crashes then don't expect them to last, I would also not suggest these if you run a car with a slipper eliminator.
nice product , fit well but very weak . on of the part have twisted after fews passes.
Severely disappointed in this product, the 1st time I flipped the car one of these axles bent 30-40 degrees. $25 to look cool and shiny for 10 minutes. If you every hope to go fast, barrel rolling your car is bound to happen. I have never bent a steel axle in this manner, so I will revert back.
Super light to keep the rotating mass down in the driveline. Machining is real nice and the fit is perfect. For sure a good upgrade part to grab especially for the price!
I’ve tried at least 3 pairs of these. I’ve bent every one then went back to the stock dr10 axles. It’s a waste of money. These bend so easy. Don’t buy. Just run stock. My dr10 ran 2.1’s on stock axles.
Reviewers agree the titanium CVA axles are very light and fit and machining are good. Opinion splits sharply on durability. Several reviewers report bending or twisting, including one bent 30-40 degrees after a single flip, and two who tried multiple pairs reverted to stock axles. One long-term owner reports 11 months of use with only a minor bend from a crash that was straightened, and no pin-hole wear, but states the parts are less durable than stock and not suited to crash-prone cars. Reviews are all for the drag racing variant.
