Well I guess I'm going to find out sooner or later about the oem axles and sticky tires maybe at LS Festival in May as long as my budget permits it. I'll just take my extra set of axles with me.

The "Rzeppa" (pronounced, 'Sheppa') design of the CV axle was likely never created for superior strength. It was more created for just what it is - true Constant Velocity, whereby the six balls bisect the angle giving real, 1:1 uniform motion while transmitting torque through an angle. (unlike the non-uniform motion of a universal joint or double cardan CV) Personally, I think the small shaft diameter and hard (somewhat) brittle cages are a weak link when really put to the test. But no doubt they've beefed them up and made improvements over FWD K-cars of the 80's! Although the original Alfred Rzeppa patent goes back to 1928.
More than you wanted to know.
