HELLO, my name is stickers!
Catch me if you can
I've been kicking around the thought of an extended axle instead of those wheel spacers I'm running now...
The price of a dura blue is way outta my price range right now.. (like $350) But I see those G force axles are quite a bit cheaper. Problem is I didn't see any listed specifically for the 350x. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places...
Anyone got one and wanna gimme some feedback? or point me in the right direction fo rthe cheapest place to grab one.
thanks...

I didn't see any other machine that the 350X one will fit so its gonna be tough to find one. I happened to come across mine on ebay like 8 years ago and snapped it up for under $200. Keep an eye out for one.
A much cheaper option would be to pick up a set of better spacers like these:
G-Force Spacers
I have a set on the back of my 4x4 and they work infinitely better than the old school ones you've got now. You bolt them to the stock hub and then bolt the wheel to the spacer. No more fiddling with super long standard bolts that go all the way through the hub, spacer, and wheel. I posted a link to a coupon from RM ATV that should still be good so you can get a couple of extra dollars off.

4 Wheels? Huh?
a better option that that is the durablue extended hubs. only a few bucks more.
chris if you're really interested, I can call and see what I can get a durablue for...I may not be able to beat ebay, but I'll try.

Just an FYI Chris. The TRX250R (and liquid cooled ATC) hubs are interchangeable with the 350X. You might have better luck finding those hubs that Goat was talking about by looking for TRX ones.

MY problem with the spacers I got now is I cannot find the proper gr.8 metric bolts long enough.. and I got a terrible wobble.
I just picked up a new set of hubs from the bay.. I'm not sure if my hubs or the end of my axle is wore.. but I figure I'd try the cheaper route with newer hubs first. I may end up having to replace the whole thing..
Thought I read somewhere the 300ex alxe works.. I'll have to do some searching.

Try those new hubs without spacers and see if it clears up. If it does then order a set of the ones I linked you to.

i bought a 300ex durablue axle with 300ex durablue sprocket hub for my 350x build.the axle fit the carrier fine but chain would not line up and i had to spend another 125.00 to buy the durablue 350x sprocket hub to go on the 300ex axle.in the end i didnt save anything.Originally Posted by chris200x

These ones here oldtime.. They'd work fine If I could run the tapered lugnuts.. but the standard bolts dont exactly fit the holes in the rims.

to tell ya the truth I'm not even sure. I wanna say durablue, but who knows..
they're 2 3/4" I believe.
I'm just more comfy running with a lil wider stance...

They look similar to the DuraBlues I have. Only difference I see is where the circular center on yours is raised, mine is receased

I haven't heard anything BAD about them and or not anything GOOD aside from the price.... They are the cheapest alternative out there......
Do you jump? do you need strength? or ????
Any hub extension/spacer is going to throw the tire out of round in comparison to the axle. It's asking for the extension, the hole, and how it mounts to all be on the same plane..........
I'm a believer that they started the tapered lug nuts to keep stuff centered...
