Broken front diff

[AlvaSpeed]

Brand new,First time out and the front diff breaks. (after break in of course)
Some of the pinion teeth are srtipped.
Is there an upgrade for the diffs? (stronger, better ones).
What other parts do I need to upgrade noe that the car is dissasembled?
Regards,

Welcome to the Forum!!

there are machined pinions and ring gears, but the machined pinion IMO is junk. You may want to try shimming the diffs by putting a couple of shims between the ring gear and bearing. I'll post a link to the thread on how to do it. It does not prevent pinion breakage, but will reduce it.
