Sounds about right.
You have more time on it than I thought. How often do you pull out the diffs and add fresh oil? The center is under the most stress so it needs to be done a little more frequently that the front or rear. When you pull the diff's it's the best time to check those bearings, as well as the pinion bearings on the front and rear gear boxes.

ya I got the buggy used. I pulled the center last week but the font and rear havent been done for about 3 weeks? I am thinking every 2 to 3 weeks for the center and 1 a month for the front and rear?? I would have checked the bearing but I couldnt get that gear off. Also How do I know if a bearing is bad or not?

I wouldnt do it by weeks. If that was so, I might rebuild the diff twice before running it once!
Try 30 runs for front and rear, and whenever you have extra time (like sooner) for center.

ok great. I did the center 1 week ago and the rear last night. Once I get my 5000 I am going to do the front. Also When you fill the diffs how high should I go. I did it so that it was about 4 mm from the top??
