You hit the nail on the head regarding my concern of breakage's while launching, I suppose I was being naive to think that the standard axles would be the weakest point in the chain. My box has been built around a rhino case with a fair amount of beefing up, welded 3rd&4th and HD side cover etc but nothing around the bearings. That said I have not gone for hefty 930 cv's but type2 although they must be stronger than type1's just for the fact of their size.

What you are saying make perfect sense, it's better to have the weakest point in the cheapest place to replace. I was just wondering if the race axles don't just add strength where you may not want it but would just take some of the impact out of the launch power.
I'm not building a strip car but I'm still going to have 160hp and 157ftlb that could cause some damage.
