Screw joints are an advanced build technique that reduces friction and increases structural stability on the drivetrain, compared to using axles on the wheels.

Here's one type of screw joint:

Layout for one type of screw joint

Here's how to attach the gear to the wheel for this type of screw joint:

And here's another type of screw joint using a 2.75" wheel with a 48T gear:
