Stripping Diff gears

I keep stripping out the front and rear diff gears. I keep replacing them, but they keep stripping out. I have a Nitro Earthquake 3.5.

RE: Stripping Diff gears

www.catbob07.rcuniverse.com FYI on my caldera i had the same problem, 8 bucks a pop, then i took the upgraded pinion gears out of my Tornado s30 ground the back off about 4mm honed out the center notch with a chainsaw sharpening stoneto fit the input drive yoke shaft, and with a small cutting wheel notched it for the 2x10mm pin. and i have not had any problems at all jist add your prefered diff lube and watch your yokesfor notching. I was surprised as to how well it worked you just gotta make sure they are the same size and keep the right amount of play. per Redcat Specs.GIVER FULL THROTTLE ..DON'T DOTTLE...
