Default Re: MB Heavy Haul

Thanks for the review! Wow, I'm really surprised and disappointed that these axles have preformed so poorly considering their cost. I'm kinda bummed, I was planning on using these in a couple of builds, but maybe the older 4x4 methods might just be better. Oh and sorry man, I can only image how you feel after putting in all the time, effort and cash to utilize them. I'm curious why they don't hold up like they should. I wonder if we could buy just the empty diff housings and buy good hardened gears and shafts someplace else. I vaguely remember someone making helical gears, but maybe that was just for the transmissions.

Just my opinion, but I think you are being way too nice by not giving Lesu a bad review. If it were me I'd be on every forum posting these pictures and calling them not-so-nice names. Maybe that might motivate them to give ya a refund or improve their product, but probably not... Anyway, Thanks again!

Exclamation Re: MB Heavy Haul

Thank You, Finster.

Well, it takes quite a lot to make me scream , But this one was close. They know about the problem. I'm not the first one with this experience. Time will tell if they will come up with a fix.
I'm not waiting, so I try the easiest fix for now. Got some $10 Bearings to replace the crap that was failing, Se how that works. I just passed 6 hours runtime with no axle shake
Amazing!!! I'm going to continue the test by checking how it does until it goes wrong or not. I have been looking for even better bearings, but they are in particular order.
How in the holy moly can they put a Dollar bearing!!! and two cent Bushing!!! On the same axle !!!! And the Bushing is on the heavy load side, That's scary.
