Wasn't expecting to kill some bearings a diff after about 8 packs, but here we are! Handful of bearings are seized up or really gritty, so I'm guessing this went downstream and stripped the gear on the rear diff.
I don't have a long enough 2mm so I cant split the housing, but you can see all the ground up plastic and some missing teeth.
Couple of questions stemming from this (as I also killed some bearings on my Fireteam).
Thanks!

- Are the stock bearings garbage at keeping out sand/dirt/etc.? I typically hose these off after use and hit with an air compressor. Perhaps my maintenance could also use some work?
- Should I replace with stock plastic gearing or move to metal? I do very basic bashing with my daughter; no crazy jumps, just around parks and a local quarry.
Thanks!
