Default Rear axle

I was wondering what rear axle you guys were using. Im putting a '89 ninja 1000cc motor in my yamaha golf cart so I want a wide stance. Im fabbing all my own a-arms in the front so I have no problem there. I just got a '07 yamaha raptor 700 +5" axle but i dont think that is going to be wide enough for what I want. I looked at mini sprint axles but they are out of my budget. This is the only thing thats really holding me back right now so any help would be great.

I was going to say Mini Sprint but you say thats out of your budget, look on eBay for Mini Sprint axles you may be suprized at what you can get fairly cheap. I run a 1-3/8 4130 Chromoly Mini Sprint axle and have bent 2 so far with torque.

Yeah I was looking at them on ebay. Theres a couple axles only for a good price but I figure by the time i get everything for the axle im going to be looking at like 400bucks. If im going to spend the money I might just go IRS if i could find some CV axles long enough.

I don't mean to be condesending in any way, but if you let money rule the way you build something so fast that in moment can take your life you need to build something slower. I have close to 10,000.00 in my cart, it's very very fast and safe.

I will probably just end up doing independent in the rear.
