i heard of ONE account where a few teeth popped off the pinion gear, but he was really abusing the truck. so i dont think its really an issue

depends on what diff parts you have. if its the old hardened gears they were known for chunking pinions very common. then they came out with an updated version not much better. havent heard much bad about the new bullitproof diffs / cen replicas

RE: Broken diff gear pics?
Every failure I had was due to a bearing on the ring gear going out. This allowed the ring gear's mesh to loosen up. That is why HPI came out with the Super HD Gears (ones before the Bullit Proof) They machined down the part of the gear that the bearing went on so they could run a thicker stronger bearing.
