I run the raws and feel unsafe now having just READ your post.
Bmx and MTB's put different stress on the components. There is a lot less lateral stress on a MTB because you're not doing spins or anything that will land the bike sideways and bend the spindle. On any bike but a BMX bike, profiles are bombproof. Sacrifices can be made in strength area's like adding the ti/magnesium parts. God PROBABLY won't break my cranks.
Something of a bit better explanation.
