it won't last long if you ride off road or go faster then stock. If you just drive it in parades and stuff like that then it should work, but otherwise I would get a stack of spare transaxles and install them with wing nuts so you can swap them out on the trail quickly, if you are using a 3/4" axle trans. If they are 1" shafts it should last longer.

If you put a solid axle all the way thru then it would defentately help, because with big tires it would put a lot of stress on the trans housing. if there was something solid all the way thru it would help a lot.
