Each time i tear them down all the gears look normal and do not have any chipped or missing teeth in them.
Do these things just stop functioning once they wear to a certain point? How often are you guys replacing the housings / internals on your diffs?
Thanks,

These diffs have been fairly bullet proof for me. I have an RC8B and RC8T and have raced them for a few seasons without changing diff parts. I rebuild and maintain my diffs fairly often (every few weeks and before major races).
