I don't glue them, I use Tamiya AW grease: It's extremely sticky and thick, so it's so slow reacting that it won't slip (and it's more easily removeable than glue). That said, I like the ball diffs as well, but mine did get quite grainy. I cleaned everything but it was still grainy, so I think the thrust bearing is up next to replace (even though I used ceramic thrust bearing balls it's probably past the best life). I nowadays use a gear diff (in my 201) though, which also works well so far, so I feel no need to rush
