Keep stripping the 4 long screws that hold the diff mount together. Stripped about 4 diff mounts now. So was looking for something a bit more bullet proof.

Also wouldn't the alloy act as a heat sink drawing heat out of the diff and help the cooling ? The plastic diff case wont absorb any heat so the heat in the diff has no where to go. At least with the alloy one the heat has somewhere to go and because of the extra surface area can dissipate the heat more efficiently.

They make cooling heads for our engines out of alloy. Not plastic.
