Just building my MOC and I found out pieces I thought were in great condition are forming cracks already.
1. I thought only grey pieces were prone to these types of cracks, I was wrong.
2. Lots and lots of broken grey pieces. Almost every piece I have like this now has a crack.
3. Here's the same pieces but showing the cracks on the other side.
4. U-joints are just so easy to break.
5. I even broke one of these.
6. To test the durability of this piece (which some I have are in the earliest phase of cracking) I put an axle halfway through, put pressure on it, and the piece's "axle inserter" snapped.
Trying to stay positive, but this is really holding back my builds. Wish I could find some way to prevent this from easily happening or if the cracking is a defect with the part.
Is anybody else experiencing cracking with pieces where you put in axle? Would like some feedback from the community, thank you.
