Don't let your axles keep your car from winning!

The axles that come in your kit have several flaws.
Besides burrs and crimp marks, the axle shaft often has a slight curve
and the axle head may not be at a right angle to the shaft.

You can try to remove the flaws from your axles but we have a better solution.

Polished Axles
LEGAL IN ALL RACES!

Our Polished Axles are official BSA axles that we prepare for you:

  1. Straighten the axle.
  2. True the axle head so that it is at a 90 degree angle to the axle shaft.
  3. Remove Crimp marks
  4. Remove Burrs.
  5. Taper the head slightly to reduce contact area with the wheel.
  6. Cut a shallow groove in the axle shaft to act as a lubricant reservoir (grooved axle).
  7. Polish the axle shaft.
  8. Machine polished to a very fine mirror finish.

The result is the fastest official axles around.
These axles are ready to race!
Machined Axles
FOR THE ULTIMATE IN SPEED
Not legal in all races - check your rules

These stainless steel axles are machined perfect. The axles then go through our special machine polishing for a super smooth, mirror-like finish. You don't need to do anything with these axles. They are ready to race!

Exact dimensions as the official BSA axles.
They fit AWANA Grand Prix too!

These axles look very similar to the axles that come in your kit
although the stainless steel gives them a slightly different coloring.

We used your block, wheels and axles last year and came in first place. This year we didn't use your products and came in 7th. You can bet that we will be placing an order next year....S. Conner
