Default X diff bearings

I busted a front diff bearing. I don't get it cause I was only doing some small like 2 foot airs and after alil while I noticed a chater when I was braking and then noticed the front wheels were not really pulling and seen it was the bearing. Anyway. Will that basic a jump damage bearings like that. I'm sure I didn't land every jump perfect but notind dead on the nose or one wheel plus its not even from the big an air. If your on the gas when u land I'm sure that's not to good eaither but would that cause that too. I striped a spur gear doing that

HPI is known for their crappy bearings. Replace them with good quality ones. 99% of the diffs that go bad on Savages were due to torn up bearings if you do a quick search on the internet to see what other owners have reported.

So those HALO bearings from that link are just as good or better then the HPI stockers? I can get 6 of those for the cost of 2 HPI one. I just want a more durable replacement incase it goes again for whatever reason
