Can the toughbox and axles support the entire robot

One of our drive configurations has the entire robot supported by the toughboxes and axles extending from those tough boxes.

The only problem was we aren't sure if the tough boxes can take all of that weight. If they can't, then we would have to go ahead and use sprockets and gears.

Our robot is aimed at going under the tunnel, however, so sprockets and gears means space we don't have. Hence direct connection is preferrable.
