    What size rims should i use? how hard is it to bend axle?

    well the ones i got on there now i bent and i need to get new ones what size should i get and what kinda good cheaper tires to get with it gots friend got some 10" with turf tamers on there. would those be good for jumping? and i do mild trailing. but mostly jumping, anyway how hard is it to bend a stock axle if you land correctly i am guessing alot huh. reason i ask is i am alot of a guy that wants to do big jumps?...what too high for me?

    bending stock axles is hard to do. ive done a lot of jumps on my 350x and it never hurt a thing.

    i have never seen or heard of anyone collapsing a wheel off a jump. However , I have broken 3 or 4 axles landing off jumps , both stock axles and dura blues. I have never bent an axle from jumping, only wrecks lol. wheels are much more susceptible to side impacts than verticle.
