The reason for steel axles is cost. However the new aluminum axle hace come way down in price but are still 2 to 3 times the cost of steel axles.

I know that the GCR specifies steel axles for F500. But why? I can see for road racing the possibility of bending an axle from getting bumped. But for Solo I can't see a viable reason other than weight, and I would think the Rotax cars would welcome the reduction. Is it worth petitioning the CRB to get a waiver for Solo only? Ooops, I guess my shut-up pill wore off. :) Lee -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
