After I got my expy up on a rack, I saw the front axle housing for real, as opposed to pictures, etc. I was surprised, and shocked, to see how small it is. Made me wonder how thin the actual axle inside that tube housing is.

What's the history on this thing? what makes them break? big tires? excessive wheelspin? jumping off cliffs? running over a curb? a dirty look? what is their weakness?
what is our collective experience with these?
thanks
