The 6T does not have diff issues. It's people building them wrong. I have blasted my 6T for the past month several times a week, and besides cleaning the wheel bearings, there is nothing wrong with them. We have a pretty flowy medium sized track, with a long straight, huge double, and a very tight turn-leading into a straight: all the ingredients for stripping diffs and breaking parts.
The trick to the diffs are... you guessed it. Shimming. 2 shims on the pinion / ring side (it'll make sense when you are building them, trust me). Also, I never put the rubber o-rings behind the spider gears - just the shims.
6T. Super stable and light.
