anybody ever heard of a hub stripping out? it happened to a guy on a V force at the iron man. it took me and my friends the better part of an hour to get him up the hill. its the first time i ever saw it happen but the last thing i need is to have to buy new hubs and an axle, know what i mean

Happened in the dunes in New Mexico on my 300ex. It was a result of loose hub nuts over time had wore the spline gears so bad that when it spun it sheared the cotter pin. The nut spun off in the sand (found it 45 min. later). We used a key chain ring as a cotter pin and limped back over a mile to the truck. Wasnt too expensive of a fix check ebay
i got a stock axle for $65.00
and good used hubs for $25.00 each
