What's a good material to make axles out of?
Any material that won't flex under pressure. For my mousetrap vehicles, I use 3/16" brass tubes from this website: https://www.docfizzix.com/products/parts-supplies/. You can also use wooden dowels, aluminum, or even carbon fiber rods if you have the materials to cut them safely.
