Hi guys,
These are some cheap AR44 clone axles that I got for $85 cdn on AliExpress. If you want maximum durability these are unlikely to be anywhere near as good as genuine Axial, but if you want some cheap trail truck axles they will probably do the job. There are some problems with the gear mesh and bearing fit but they are manageable if you are handy. Overall they aren't awful if you're on a budget.

Do you drive to wrench or do you wrench to drive?

Aluminum tape is a good shim also. Thanks for showing me a breakdown of this style of axles.

Thats a lot of play in those end bearing surfaces, i wonder if it would take a shim made from a thin brass tube....

It's about .2mm, probably too thin

Nice break down and review of these axles. Like most of the China stuff a little DIY goes a long way. I have the AMK Rock Jock clones under my 1.9 Wraith and I've been surprised how the internals have held up. I didn't mind having to do some modifications to the knuckles for proper smooth steering myself at the price point IMO considering the Vanquish stuff is absurdly over priced my opinion though. I think lots of people buy these cheaper options thinking slap in and go, but like you just explained here you have to take your time and sort these options out and don't expect $600 quality for an eigth of the price. I have a set similar to what you have here I haven't installed into anything as of yet. Also would swapping out to some better quality bearings maybe cure your play you experienced in the axle stub end? I've ran into the China bearings to not be exact spec myself as well. Thanks for sharing with us

Yeah, there's a fine line price wise. For me a lot of the high end stuff is a waste of cash but to each their own. Unfortunately it's not usually the bearings (not in these for sure), because that would be too easy. There are definately poor quality bearings out there but they usually just don't last very long (especially if you get them wet and/or don't clean them). I've seen quite a few out of spec drive shafts and some are just really really bad. Somewhat comically, the only ones I've ever gotten that were totally useless, the CVD pins were too short and they would come apart almost instantly and it's not easy to get pins for cheap. Unfortunately it's a bit of a crap shoot...
