Description

1-1/4" x 34" Chromoly Tubular Steel Axle – Keyed Center with Snap Ring Grooves


Upgrade your racing go-kart or performance lawnmower with our 1-1/4" x 34" Chromoly Tubular Axle, engineered for strength, stiffness, and superior handling. Made from high-quality chromoly steel, this axle is center-keyed (halfway on both sides) and includes snap ring grooves at each end to comply with most kart racing sanctioning body regulations.


Axle Specifications:

  • Diameter: 1-1/4"
  • Length: 34" overall
  • Wall Thickness: 0.190"
  • Keyways: Offset, accepts 1/4" x 1/4" axle keys
  • Ends: Snap ring grooves pre-machined


Performance Insight:

While wall thickness contributes to strength, axle diameter is the most critical factor in determining stiffness. Our 1-1/4" tubular axles are stronger and stiffer than solid 1" axles, offering better performance in demanding applications.

In kart racing or high-powered mower builds, a stiffer axle helps keep rear tires planted, enhancing traction. This added grip is excellent for power-heavy machines but can also impact handling. Too much rear grip may cause understeer (push), chassis binding, or a tight rear end—factors you may want to fine-tune based on track conditions and driving style.


Ideal For:

  • Racing Go-Karts
  • Performance Lawnmower Builds
  • Drift Carts & Off-Road Projects
  • Builders Seeking a Balance of Grip and Control

FAQ

This is a tubular chromoly steel axle with a 0.190" wall thickness, offering high strength with reduced weight.


Q2: What size keys does this axle use?
It uses 1/4" x 1/4" offset axle keys for compatibility with most standard hubs and sprockets.


Q3: Are snap ring grooves included?
Yes, both ends of the axle have snap ring grooves machined to meet kart racing safety requirements.


Q4: Will this fit my go-kart?

Q5: Why choose a 1-1/4" axle over a 1" solid axle?
A 1-1/4" tubular axle offers greater stiffness and strength, which improves rear grip and durability—especially important in high-horsepower applications.
