Rear axle?

Alright guys, I'm looking at buying a new wheelset soon.
My current wheels are standard Q/R rear but am I right in thinking a Thru axle would be stiffer/stronger?
Apart from a correct size hub, How do I go about converting to a Thru axle? New drop outs or?
I'm a noob.

can you change the drop outs on the frame you have?
just buy the correct hub and axle for your frame."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I'm not entirely sure, The frame is a Voodoo Bokor. Would appreciate a point in the right direction...0

Can't be done on your frame.0

yes, or a wheel set that takes a 10mm DT RWS/skraxle type thing that makes little difference anyway.0

a good shimano Qr is good."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I've currently got a Deore Q/R in and not had any problems yet, Maybe I think I'm fatter than I actually am? Haha.
Cheers for the info guys.0 -
