The stock axles are very strong, at least as strong as the stock bottom end of the engine. If you need to go with something stronger yet, it is probably going to be both custom and expensive. I'm not saying nobody makes replacement axles but I haven't heard of them being a regular offering for the RD or even a common custom part for a WHILE.
That said, a custom driveline fabrication shop shouldn't have any trouble making exactly what you need.

Really, I never knew these axles were strong, i thought they would break like Hondas do

I havent seen anyone post anything about breaking axles that I can ever remember. I have full blown slicks and extremely hard launches at the track and in the 5 yrs of being boosted and drag racing half the year mine are holding in there wonderfully. Oh and 1.7-1.8 60' ft. should let you know really quick if they aren't gonna hold after too long.

I LOL'd. Sure they break. Get a good half second of wheel hop on sticky tires at, oh, 500 or 700 horsepower, they'll snap like a candy cane! I don't know how strong (or not) Honda specs their axles, but Hyundai made 'em plenty beefy for even moderate power output.
