Flexi Wide axle

Ok, so two days into Buggying and i'm already planning a trip to Alvord to avoid all the people on the beaches. I'm thinking for such conditions and the possibility for higher speed i really might enjoy a Flexi wide axle instead of the standard. I can get one new from TrikeBuggy, but i'm wondering if anyone has one up for sale?

Thanks!

I got a wide axle from Trikebuggy rather than hoping and waiting.
No regrets.

Also replaced barrow tires with midis.
Then added diy higher back support.
AQR is my latest addition.
Now my flexi is waaaaaay more capable than I am.
Master Eli showed me how it can perform. . . .

Always on the steep part of the learning curve.
