The contact is usually pretty minor. Would this little amount of contact likely fracture the lightweight axles?
I used them the whole week of Reedy. I had some tussles with other cars and a wall bounce or two and they are going on 6 months strong.
Not recommended for multiple board hits though so if your track uses wood boards as lane dividers then I would stay with steel axles.
