If your modules are strong enough to not have to touch the sides, that's great. I was just suggesting that when/if they make contact, it should be at a point of strength on both pieces, and should not cause the axle to rub, which would cause extra wear and loss of drive force.

I don't have any CAD software on my computer, so all I can do here is guess from the perspective render.
