    I have always felt that the high hp heavy machines like xp 1000 prolly may break stock axles

    Than if you move up to Turners or some other stronger, heavy duty brand

    Than what will break or be the weak link?

    Prolly something more expensive and more difficult, than just axles would be my guess

    May-be just have a spare axle or two around for the weak link

    For XP 1000s, Titans from S3 are our best value. Turner Cycles are our most reliable and strongest if you have the budget.

    what kind of price would some one be looking at for a set of axles ?

    I see you line of thought but one thing to consider is when a stock axle breaks it sends a shock load on everything it is in contact with. If your breaking multiple stock axles then you really should step up to something that may never break. I will say this, the gears and drive lines are pretty stout. I have 33's and 300+ hp w/o failures

    Hmmm
    You guys are going to laugh, but I am now pushing 400 horsepower out of my 800 s with my apex turbo motor and I'm still on the stock axles......

    I'm sure if I was on the street and got the car to hook it would twist them up in a pretzel.

    As for the stock 1000 axles those things look pretty beefy

    What tires do you run? What type of terrain?

    I'm 300+ horsepower combined with the 33's (75lbs ea) it's a bad combo for axles, ball joints and steering lol

    I run strictly sand and my tire and wheel combo is considerably lighter than what you run..

    I'm sure if I ran a 150 pounds of rolling mass on the back of my car my axles would be short lived lol
