You could always take the diff appart and shim it before you run it. A shimmed diff will last a lot longer than than a non shimmed.
I have actually twisted the dog bones in to with a shimmed diff instead of blowing the gears out.
thats great advice right there. ive snapped & twisted bonz with modded mill with no damage to stock (shimmed) X diffs.
but recently hit the brakes hard & swerve on asphalt into a plastic trash barrel (avoid hitting my kid) and snap the Cen Bevel gear teeth.
HPI pinion/bevel is a better design imo caz the teeth are shorter than the Cen teeth.
