Its not a disaster, they just break and you have to replace them with another one...

If you drive the car on the street like it was intended to be driven, even if its making 500whp, you can use stock axles...

If you launch the car as you will in a drag race then you will break the shafts...Keep your clutch to a minimum, use good control of how you initially move the car and double clutch without slamming the X and you stock axles will not break...

The power doesn't break the axles, the way you transfer the power to the ground does...
