Default diffs AGAIN

right after saying to a few people i can't understand how they keep blowing diffs, i managed to do it kind of
i have read that most seem to fry the gears inside.
took mine out on grass today and noticed however slow i cornered the back just spun out.
on inspection the diff was locked up tight, so stripped it out and replaced with a nice cheap one bought from e bay many months ago in anticapation of such event.
the thing is after ripping the moon surface tube off, the gears are like brand new, ok there should be some grease in it but hey its old. what seems to have happened is the drive shafts have become very tight in the diff case, one side removed with hammer and drift.
i think a new case will sort it, but anyone else come across this ??????????
how much for ally case
