I put it down to the grease all leaking out. I didn't have time that week to do any maintenance and decided to race it even though I suspected the diff might have very little grease in it. Since then I've switched to sticky marine grease.
When I was running a plastic tranny and brushless, I ran it till the gears felt like razors.
