Well, it's an interesting theory, and makes a lot of sense, but I've never had the issue of thrust balls being ejected or running on the inside of the diff joint - most often when I check the rings, they have worn in the middle - not to the outside of the ring.
If it works for TC's running 4.0 motors, it'll work in a slipping and sliding off road buggy running 6.5's.
