I prefer standard cut gears for that reason, I don't like replacing my bearings all the time.

The only time I've ever killed a 1/8th diff was in my Muggy, the plastic case cracked and allowed too much flex under power and the teeth started skipping. Replaced the ring and pinion and converted to aluminum cases and have put over 100 hours on the diffs since and so far I haven't done anything but re-grease the ring and pinion.

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
