I may be wrong, may be right, just my opinion.

well,
we discussed how much force would be on it before we built it, and we decided it was'nt needed, but if we find it to be a problem.

the way i was thinking about supporting the shaft is, get the optional long shaft(Hex because thats what we bought hubs for) and a hex bearing, then just bolt a piece of aluminum plate to our top plate, put the hex bearing in it, and then put the shaft through it with the screw and washer on the outside.
