I use something like that myself, but with some of the studless
constructions - I have had the axle start to bend worryingly before
the pins pop. I dont like sacrificing Lego though.
another thing I hate is when an axle pin gets stuck, and stubborn.
With the studless beams - you can push the pin into another studless
beam, and use a flex-axle peice to keep the pin splits in place while
pulling off the other end, but when it is stubbornly stuck in an 8t
gear you are really in for hurting fingers...
