I would say the loss is in traction on the ground. Your traction sheers long before you can bind up that much torque. It would be interesting to sacrifice some parts with the axles mounted firmly to flanges sunk in concrete and see what gives first.
Parts do break so between the applied torque and impact loading there must be enough traction at least at times. Crawling almost eliminates impact loading so a loss of traction is likely what saves us in many cases.
