These shafts are amazing! You can use these to create an indirect drive system where the wheels are mounted to these instead of directly on the motor, then the wheels are powered by a belt or tangential drive system. This means your wheels can take much more of a beating compared to ones mounted 3mm motor shaft.
I made a 4WD tangential drive control bot with these (Super Space Turtle), and a wheel took a direct hit. The screw holding the axle on bent, and the wheel was ripped off, but the axle did not bend and was reusable!

I have used these in my fairy, plastic antweight, and full combat antweight, and I have yet to damage one of these axels. If you are looking to make an indirect drive for one of these weight classes, I can’t recommend anything more than these.

This is hands down the best way to make an indirect drive setup. The flange makes it so easy to just put this on any random side plate and the wheels will already be spaced from it, and it will also distribute the load a lot better than a standoff. I’ve used these on my tangent drive and belted drive robots, and i’ve yet to break one.
