Blew a diff, common problem?
 

I just killed one of the diffs on my ultra LX, I think its the rear but it might be the center (havent really looked yet).

Just wondering how common this is on buggies. is this rare? or is it something thats always going to be happening?

Just wanting to know if its a common problem because if so I'll order a few extra gearsets.

I did the same thing this last weekend, it was the rear. I first thought it was a clutch issue because on pavement, it wasn't easy to tell the rear wasn't getting any power, but on dirt, it was obvious. I've had about 2 gallons through mine and this is the second set of gears I've had to replace in the rear dif.

Are you packing too much/too thick of grease in it? They may be what's causing your blowouts...haha, that sounds funny...
