i didnt replace the hub though
i thought it looked ok but on the next ride one wheel was spinning other was going nowhere
just check the splines on the axle

YES my son had this happen to him on MY quad

we were out playing @ a guys house mainly to flattrack but he also has a mx track, so DJ decided to go over there "for a minute" yeah right, he comes WALKING back

says Mom your left back tire came off, I was like WTF so we go over there & my rear spacer nuts came loose & all fell off

so we pushed it out of the MUDD & took the spacer off the wheel, threw the tire back on & went flattrackin

needless to say this is why you don't run spacers on the rear for jumping

only damage was to my spacer the holes are a little egg shaped now

only need one for flattrack anyway
