Parts are really cheap with great availability. I have not had to rebuild diffs very often and it really is not hard. My sons diff has not been rebuilt for 6 months now and is still smooth. I am told I will need to change the oil in gear diffs far more frequently as they break down and change their weight.

You can get a great roller for a 100 quid or so and learn all he needs to learn while his skills develop.
hehe I must be treating mine too rough. Im rebuilding them at least once a month. My mini 8ight with geared diffs I didnt change for 8 months!
