you might also try Joe Siam at Chequered Flag racing or Richard Good at =
Goodparts - nothing on their websites but they might do something. =
Richard has some awesome looking TR6 axles and hubs.

This is perhaps the most important part of building a better, stronger, =

There is no right answer here.
The key point is that you need to (mostly) strengthen the outer axle and =
the hub.
You can use parts from the Corvair, Datsun, TR6, Porsche or something =
totally totally custom made.
In the green car, We have a monster torque (300lbs) custom made hub =
similar to what Joe C. described.
Its huge (made of billet steel) and uses the same type of dual (large =
GT6) bearings with a supporting spacer in between. The outer axle also =
is custom and quite large.
Once you have a good hub and outer axle that can handle the torque and =
stress, (there is no room for skimping here)
The rest of the assembly can fall on whats available and perhaps you may =
have or source for at reasonable $.(that is why you will see Corvair, =
Datsun, TR6 etc.)
In our case the hub/ outer axle was made to mate to the rotoflex and the =
stock GT6 inner axle which is totally fine (cheap) and requires no extra =
customization to the inner assemblies.

So initially, you asked the question that says you are on the right =
track.
A good machinist is in order.
The job should simply be to help you eliminate that weak link and help =
you get it coordinated with what other parts you are using further =
inward (that's more up to you and several types will work fine).
