Default Swing shaft question

Hi,

Has anyone tried running the blue, Tamiya LW aluminum swing shafts on the front of their TB-02, in conjunction with a functioning, non-locked differential (e.g. not a spool or one-way)? I know the steel shafts are the only way to handle the impact caused by a one-way, but I'm wondering if they could cope with the kinder, gentler loads from a diff? I've been running the aluminum shafts on the back for a while now and they've held up fine (knock on wood). The extra set of aluminum shafts I have in my parts box are screaming "Put me in coach! I can do it!" I'd only be running them with a 540 silver can motor, nothing more powerful. Also, if it matters, I'm talking about the 42mm shafts for the standard suspension. Thanks.

Andy
