The 1/8" shafts CAN and have been broken. Mostly from mounting the pinion out towards the end and running a lot of power. If you want to push the performance envelope, the 5mm shaft is the reliable way to go. I wouldn't say a broken shaft is "common", but it does happen every so often( I have had 1 broken shaft and 1 bent shaft come back in the last year).
