I have two of these t-cases from Ebay and I've run each of them for a year without issue. They are so simple that there isn't much that can fail, but then I don't beat the crap out of my scale rigs.

As I recall it did take almost a month to get them.

its definitely a rip off of the GCM cases. but when something is made correctly someone if bound to copy it. take it as a compliment GCM.

i have 3 of the GCM transfer cases. i have never had an issue with them, and have had them on one truck for over 3 years, and its never failed.

one trick to reduce any chance of slop: take all the grub screws or set screws if you call them that, and grind the base flat, this will create a much better mechanical mesh with the very large flat spots on the GCM cases. no slop at all after years of use.

Hi Shinjari,
did the transfer case accomplish the task? Would you recommend it?

spend the money, get the gcm. loctite the grubscrews in the pinions and never worry about making the wrong choice.

i think i might put my chinese tcase in my 12lb c2 and see how bad i can break it just to prove that the gcm is better. ;)

It's absolutely foolish to think all clones are low quality and bad.

Hate to say it guys but I have been thrashing on one of these for over a year. Haven't even had to replace the bearings.

Just an fyi, the case is slightly smaller than the GCM.
