Yeah. You either sheared the pins off the locker or stripped the plastic. Posts all over the place about that.

Maybe spinning where the axle shaft goes into the locker???

I have one rig that I have been using with stock lockers and they haven't failed yet, and this is on 3S powered brushless motors. The trick is to fill the void spaces between the case and the diff carrier with JB Weld or JB Kwik.

even if the pin shears off there is still alot of material that has to give way for the locker itself to spin inside the housing | |

It is typically the first failure on my rigs. Either locker or tranny output, even before plastic tranny gears most times.

Not sure what axial model you're speaking of, but I've beat the crap out of my AX10 for almost 8 years and I'm still on the stock axles with out an issues in the diff's.
