Nevermind the bigger C's, bigger OD and thickness tubes, etc. They're supposed to be pretty stout but of course the idiots have to bash at every opportunity.

But inevitably, those axles will get swapped with aftermarket for thousands of dollars more. Why not just make a streetable axle that's easy to swap.
