If the axle shaft was weak they would break in 1,000 miles on a Turbo sled. If they can stand up to a Turbo, then maybe they break only after the bearing fails and they get cock-eyed with the track.
It's a lot cheaper to change the bearings than to change the whole shaft!

When mine broke, the bearing was fine.
