There is NO way to make the stock style rear axles up to competition
standards.  One of the big issues is the key.  A flexing hub will allow the
key to rotate a bit in the keyway.  The pressure of the key can crack the hub
and "away you go"... As I said, there's no way to make this better, however
if
you spend a bit of time using some valve lapping compound on the tapers to
make them as close to parallel to each other and smooth, you can reduce the
flexing of the hub/axle taper interface.  Apply compound, remove key, rotate
til your wrist hurts, clean tapers, install key and pray...

hubba hubba....
