Default RYOBI

Hello all,
I've sifted through some Ryobi posts, with the subject of converting them to RC & noticed a few comments of the nature of a max RPM of 7500.
Is the crank shaft the weakest link in this engine?
I've removed the crank from my Ryobi & have observed it's simplistic manufacturing method (fine engineering for the application).
If in fact the crank is the weakest link, would a replacement billet crank solve the crank shaft issue?
What kind of performance is to be expected with a billet crank (RPM, prop...)
What other issues are there?
