I would assume that to be the case, but it would be interesting to see what torque is required to make a ThunderHex shaft fail vs a standard Vex Hex shaft... the rounded corners on the ThunderHex and bored out center might let it round off inside of a hub with enough torque. Or not... it sounds like a neat test.
Keep in mind the weight savings of the hole in the shaft are pretty minuscule, something you might be able to offset with several strategically placed helium balloons.
