My guess is the Maxima Hunters will be faster than the Axis. Speed has to do with the overall weight of the arrow, not the diameter as long as the spine on both shafts is correct.

ACCs and Axis shafts (when similar deflections are compared) are nearly the same weight... a 340 Axis (black) and a 3-60 ACC superlite... both 9.5 gpi... and if you are shooting 70#s over 27"... or a hard/agressive binary cam set up... thats what you'll be needing.
Maxima Hunters are 8.9 gpi (pretty light really) and Maximas are 8.2 gpi respectively in a 350 deflection.... thats pretty dang light. If you wanted to drop some weight to pick up some speed... go away from the maxima hunters to the standard maximas.... I've always thought camo arrows were about as dumb a purchase as one can make.... more expensive... heavier... and you lose them faster.
Standard rule of thumb for speed as it pertains to arrow weight.... for every 2-3 grains you go +/- in arrow weight... you will +/- 1 fps of speed. So look at your speed now... calculate your arrow weight... divide the difference by 3... and you'll have a round about conservitive figure.
