What brand of axles are your favorite?

I just bought a new set of axles and I'm just curious on what you guys think!

I hacen't heard of these before. That doesn't mean anything's wrong with them. I've had My best luck with Mark Williams and Strange axles. A friend of Mine runs Top Fuel and has Strange axles ( Changes them about every 25 passes ). I've used Mark's axles in everything including My 600 inch Big Chief making 1100 horsepower and never broke one. I sold the dragster about 5 Years ago and the guy is still using the same axles.

I appreciate your input. I went with the superior axles because they came with bearings and seals. It was a little more expensive than strange axles so I figured you get what you pay for? You got any of those pics left of your dragster?

Nothing on digital. All I really have is photos from the chassis build and after the paint ( Pearl white and black with a maroon break stripe ) was on but without the drivetrain, I'm not much into pic's for My own stuff. It had a 240 inch wheelbase and a friend of Mine who's a Chassis builder ( Greg Hubbell ) built it back in 1989 for Me. It had to be built around Me 'cause I'm 6'4" and weigh 300 pounds. Not any chassis would do. The car ran 7.40's in 100 degree weather ( Texas heat ).

Well I just got them today and I already had a problem! No holes in the box and they didn't come with the studs?!?!?! Did yours come with studs? I got the EV10-2 Set.
