You shouldn't be destroying wheel bearings unless there is something else amiss. If something else is worn (Stub axle as Dave suggested) it might be putting excessive load on the bearings and wearing them out quicker.

Do you run spacers or a weird offset wheel at all? Classic Mini's suffer premature wheel bearing failure if they're run with wide wheels/spacers.

if assembled and greased properly the standard wheel bearing will put up with any amount of power.
