Maybe they're not even for a maxx,just a thought.I've never known that much play before,that's why i mentioned if the emaxx uses a spacer between the bearings or not. i don't think it does though but not sure.Where did the bearings come from,maybe they're 4mm wide and should be 5mm.Is the drive pin all the way into the hex?if not then tightening the wheel on would remove some of the play i guess.don't really know what else to suggest.

they typically have alot of play. thats a bit more than usual though. just shim them inbetween the pin and the bearing until the slack is gone.

If you shim between the axle and the inner bearing instead they may be long enough.That's what i was trying to say before.

I thought I had RDL's but serum measured his cvd and they are 160mm

i really can't remember that i measured anything for you...?

But are you using UE diffs? the 1/8th diffs are too small, the RD cvd is too short. you need MIP or UE cvd's to work with UE diffs.

The ue is 168 mm from tip to tip. the rd logic is 160mm tip to tip.

Can you not replace just the bone?
