I don't see the issue?
I haven't seen a lot of broken REAR axles at all.

the question is more of width, the toy axle is pretty darn strong. I went to dana (44/60) cause I wanted width. Really now there are custom toy axles and spacers etc so you CAN get width but I didn't go that route.

When I first built my 1st Gen S-10 with the small block 350 i ran early 80's toy axles.  I beat and beat and beat and beat on those axles for 2 years (before upgrading it) and never did hurt it.  Then I went to an 87 rear 4cyl 3rd with 4:88's spooled and beat on it for another two years until finally the carrier literally "split" apart or ripped in two.  The force of the spool on the carrier was just to much but up till then.... dry pavement power breaks, smoke shows and reverse to first just to se what would happen..  It took MUCH abuse before popping!
Thos lil axles are tough!!!!
