if they are the CNC'd aluminum version I'd say yes, but if they are the plastic versions I would give a definite no, the plastic one will snap as fast as a stale sourdough pretzel. They look great for a scale rig and if they are driven extremely cautiously, they do ok but if you have an aggressive 'take no prisoners' style of driving, they will fail you very quickly.

I have the plastic axles on my Trail Stomper...they haven't busted yet, but I fully expect it to happen at some point soon. They flex really bad, the clock is ticking.

go with the axial axles , my t rex axles lasted about 5 runs before problem began . the axials are still running strong, as for the venom for me they were just a PITA.
these are just my opinions from my experiance with the axles

i agree... i had a set of t-rex 60's and a heavy throttle finger and within about 6 packs and a couple hard binds i snapped the front axle housing just beside the knuckle and spun the gears in the rear.. and my axial axles are still going stong after almost two yrs of sh*t and abuse with only one failure.... a broken rear axle from a bad bind shortly after i went lipo but other then that there still doing there job and imo excelling at it!!
