I was wondering if Grooved Axles are faster? I used them before, but I noticed that they arn't very stable. Are they really worth getting? I will be racing in Pure Stock next season full time, so I want to do my best  |

I like grooves. They take more time and weaken the shaft BUT they remove some chance for imperfections and dispense graphite as the car shakes it out. For some, a straight axle can do as well because there is no advantage in reducing friction but the other advantages have made believers of most who race these little wonders.
As far as stability - take an old wheel and cut it in half and use the half to look at where you are placing your grooves. If your wheel falls into the groove or binds you need to change your groove location.

I'm with A-Line, I tend to lean toward the grooved axle myself.
I like a larger single width groove on axles that are to be used with oil and multiple grooves when using graphite. I also like a groove at the axle heads also.
I have however had very good success with axles with no grooves. It all comes down to preference and what works for you and what you are comfortable with.
