You have to provide your own axle to mount the wheels on. The easiest solution would be bore out the kitbot holes and use Grade 8 1/2" bolts. There are already a couple other threads on here about this so you can take a look for more details on the other ideas (turning down shafts ect.)

We go to the hardware store and buy a length of 1/2 by 3/8 bore steel tubing and cut it to length as sleeves over the 3/8 bolts.

not so elegant but works.
