I use those Tamiya stick on diff seals to keep the crud out. They are made for the TRF 501 but they work fine on my TA-05 v2 and really keep things clean.
I think that if I had to rebuild my diff as often as you guys are doing it, I'd look into running a gear diff.
Yeah depends what surface you run on aswell tho... But ceramics are the go I wont say they arent.... But you must have a good setup with keeping dirt out as I know some cars have the dirt seal or a seal setup to keep the dirt out and the grease in.... Tho my tc5r and tc6 dont have the seal idea so rebuilding them is a little bit of time and it doesnt cost me anything but a little grease... I never have to replace plates or balls or anything if I rebuild it all the time....
