I would disagree. If you run a tube seal and grease your bearings then yes you will have periodic maintenance but certainly not every 300 miles. Frankly axle tube seals seem a bit pointless to me for street use. The only floater that needs an axle seal is a circle track application which spends a lot of time turning left. In that application the tube seals keep the gear oil in the center section. But in a street/track floater the tube seal is unnecessary. I'm not running tube seals in my floater and the gear oil lubes the hubs just fine. Granted I only have about 500 miles on the car to date but the floater has been a non-issue and I don't expect it to become one.
