Product Details

Low-profile carbon steel axle key stock cut for thin-wall rear go kart axles and many mini bike axles. The 3/16 inch key height is the shorter profile used where a full 1/4 x 1/4 key would bottom out in a thin-wall axle, making it a common replacement key for outlaw kart, jr sprint and mini bike rear ends. Sold as a four-pack of 2 inch sections.

Axle keys are a wear item. A rounded, mushroomed or twisted key lets the hub or sprocket walk on the axle, chews the keyway and eventually strands you in the pits. Carbon steel gives you the shear strength to drive the hubs hard while staying cheap enough to replace whenever you pull the rear end apart, so it is worth keeping a fresh set in the trailer.

  • Material: carbon steel
  • Key size: 1/4 inch wide x 3/16 inch tall (low profile)
  • Length: 2 inch sections
  • Quantity: 4 keys per pack
  • Weight: approximately 48g for the set of four

Made for thin-wall rear go kart axles and some mini bike axles. Measure your keyway before ordering — a full-height 1/4 x 1/4 key is a separate part. Keys ship uncut at 2 inches so you can trim to fit your hub or sprocket carrier.
