  - No burrs, scratches or ridges
  
  • Friction Reducer!
  - Tapered head so only a small amount is rubbing on the wheel
  
  • Optimal Performance!
  - Axles are machined perfectly round and straight for optimal performance

  • Friction eliminator!
  - Cut in middle of wheel so less axle rubs on wheel
  - Wheel does not contact axle so you have no friction (none, zero!!!) in this area
  - Provides a cavity to hold graphite during the race

  • Friction Reducer!
  - Tapered head so only a small amount is rubbing on the wheel

  • Wobble Eliminator!
  - Axle shaft is undercut at the head to create a perfect 90 degree edge which eliminates wheel wobble...fixing another problem that slows down your car.
  - Undercut at axle head also eliminates friction in this area because less wheel surface is rubbing on the axle.
  - Undercut also provides another secret cavity to hold graphite during the race

  • Optimal Performance!
  - Axles are machined perfectly round and straight for optimal performance

• Burrs removed on axle shaft
  - You must remove these burrs of they will grind inside the wheel bore.

  • Crimp marks removed from underside of head
  - Crimp marks must be removed or they will grind into your wheel,
  slowing your car like ABS brakes!

  • Nail head is cut back at an angle
  - Angling the head reduces friction where the head meets the wheel.

  • Polished
  - The axle is then polished to remove imperfections. However, these axles are not as good as our Speed Axles above...we recommend a light polishing to improve performance.
