What part do you think I am leaving out? Bill knew I broke lots of axles as I wheel hard for having a Series. Having low power, sometimes you need more momentum to make steep hills or rock sections. If there are bumps, you may loose traction, so the axles will get shock loaded. As you know, that's what breaks them. I'm not positive, but I think it broke going up the right side of Wipeout Hill in Moab, if you know that trail. I didn't quite make the top and it started hopping when I tried to start up from where I stopped on the hill.
