These work great. I read wa1210ck review and I think I know what his problem is. If you look at the manuals exploded view for the front axle you will see a tiny "o" ring in the diagram that is not listed as a part. You need to remove this o ring from the stock axle and place it in the HR extended front axle. This will take up any slop in the axle play and works just like stock. Also none of the included shims are needed unless you are using the axle weights. In that case you just need the shims for the rear axles to take up the slop.

Works very well I didn’t end up using the spacers and I also used the tiny o-rings that are in the stock front axles works perfect and adds performance I recommend this upgrade

It’s hard to put in to words what’s going on... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d6D-fyEtjD9iTLWJNd3jurVmZ1H3Bglu/view?usp=drivesdk And for reference, this is for my Axial SCX24 JLU. With the stock drive stub, it spins straight but with the HR +4mm stub, it wobbles as if doesn’t seat well onto the dogbone like the ball cup isn’t radiused properly. When I turn all the way to one direction and give it some throttle, it would constantly wobble back and forth as evidenced in the video but would drive a lot smoother if I were to go relatively straight. Now, it MAY require some shins but The only place I can out any shins are on the opposite side of the stub where I would out the brass spacers. I did try that but that had no effect. So as of now, until I can figure this out, I'm not sure how to resolve this issue. And yes, AMain CS has already sent me a replacement and the replacement is doing the exact same thing. Maybe my stock steel hubs are machined incorrectly and only matches with the stock hubs? I tested that out and swapped the left with the right and they both fit without issues on either side but when I tried to put the HR stubs, they wobble once again. The rear, however, hasn't given me any issues... As of now, I'm not entirely sure what the issue is. I tried contacting HR directly but haven't heard from them yet. Purchase this at your own risk.

These axles are a waste of time. Installed them and had horrible binding issues when turning left or right. I had to turn the steering all the way down to almost nothing to not hear metal clicking inside the axle. The problem is with the cup and the t spline where they meet. For me they kept grinding. I tried grinding the cup down and the ball on the T. Nothing worked. Soon as I put my stock axles back in, problem was fixed. Do not buy these unless you want a headache. And it’s really a bummer, because I wanted to use the weights associated with these axles. Now they are collecting dust.

Does not work very well. The spacers get stuck on the bearings somehow, causing them to take a lot of force to spin. Motor heats up quickly and it loses all of its torque.

What reviewers say

Reviews are sharply divided. Two reviewers report good results, one of whom attributes success to transferring a small O-ring from the stock front axle, which they say removes slop. Several others report binding or bucking when steering fully, which they link to the drive pins or slots bottoming out in the stub axles, or to the cup and T-spline fit. Some reviewers say the problem was fixed by deepening the drive cup slots, or by lengthening the slots. One reviewer reports the spacers catching on the bearings and increasing drag and motor heat, though this review is not clearly tied to the steering issue. Several reviewers say the problem persisted until they returned to stock axles. Reviews are mixed on whether the included shims or spacers are needed, and several mention weights and bearing oil.

  • + Removes steering slop when stock O-rings are transferred
  • + Adds weight and reduces flipping, per one reviewer
  • + Works well after O-ring or slot modifications
  • − Binding and bucking when steering fully
  • − Drive pins bottom out on stub slots
  • − Spacers can catch on bearings and add drag
  • − Requires modification such as deeper slots
