Well, as far as the MGT diff's go, here are the two things I would suggest:

If the actual diff cases are breaking, you can buy these:

If you are just stripping gears, or even if you're not, a important mod for the MGT is this:

You can also get aluminum diff mounts and a aluminum snout clamp if you want, but you have to look around for those.
 
i have never had a problem with gears striping or diffs breaking on my mgt so it could be just the stress from the aluminum a-arms thats breakiing them...

Yeah, I would agree. If it's the lower a-arm mounts that are breaking, lose the aluminum parts. People generally think aluminum is the "strongest" and best way to build a RC truck but that's not really true. If you look at people who race their trucks, they rarely use aluminum. I'd put some RPM a-arms on. Instead of transfering the energy to other parts of the truck (I.E. the diff mounts) the RPM arms bend a little and aborb the energy themselves. They are some type of proprietary nylon and have a lifetime warranty.
 
yah i agree thats what i told him but he doesn't belive me I'm getting an MGT with EVERY THING ALUMINUM including the diff cases and some spares so I'm gonna give them to him lol BTW I'm getting it towmarrow
