I think they both tore up the spider gears and twisted the stub axles. So much for breaking the tires loose before anything else breaks. I'm sure they'd both give you some recommendations as to what you need to do to make these rearends stronger.
The differential is another story, not necessarily as strong as the ring/pinion gears. I think the differential's vary alot in durability/strength, as opposed to the gears themselves , which thickness/size is determined by its designed location with respect to each other.
