So much fun. Only draw back is the dust. Its no deal breaker tho. Just need to be mentally prepared for the after math of cleaning.

Man that dust was nasty when we went a couple years ago. And then following Race Car Bill on those damn gravel roads at night was hair raising. Being last in line sucked donkey balls. All I could BARELY see was Andys taillights from time to time. If he would have went off road I would have followed right along after him

I can’t figure this one out. My driver rear hub is noticeably hot when compared to the passenger. I tore the brake down cleaned and greased everything and reassembled and was working fine. I also disconnected the parking brake cable to take any tension off that but had the same results after a 20 minute drive. It’s not searing hot but you can smell it and is hot to the touch when the passenger side is just warm. What am I’m missing? Does he hub need to be rebuilt/regreased?
I just took it out for a 30 minute run and the rear driver hub temp measured 150 degrees and the passenger rear measured around 112 degrees. The interesting thing was, the temps got hotter closer to the wheel. It was around 125 at the end of the hub and the wheel end was 150.

That sucks. Is it under warranty?

Doubt it, but I’ll ask when I talk to Dan from Fusion tomorrow. $70 for a new set on their website isn’t terrible, I’m just a bit surprised to have wrecked a set in under 15k miles.

Me too. I haven’t run it hard on the trail in months. It’s just been road miles, so it may just have been a bad set of bearings.

That blows. What bearings do they use?

It doesn’t specify the brand, but refers to them as “top quality”. I’ll ask tomorrow when I call.
