To be honest man, I think you're asking a LOT of those small axles to handle those duals on there. I can't imagine how well the mating socket in the spool is machined, but there has to be some tolerance for the axle to slide in. There just can't be a lot of surface area there eating all that rotational force. Especially in situations where you're getting a lot of grip. If it were me, I'd use a diff with some heavy fluid.Judging by the silver, I spun a new locker. I shoved it back in to try out and it was still in neutral. Cleaning up the locker for photos to send to cen. Not even an hour of runtime.

The lightweight locker is what I have and is aluminum. The other says metal. I'm assuming steel.

Open diff is going back in. Gonna see about the metal locker and go ahead and buy the aluminum duff housing and hd diff gears. There goes the aluminum hop up money!
Just imagine grabbing each rear wheel and trying to twist the axle til something gave. Looking at that, it really wouldn't take much.
