Do you think would it be good to replace the rods?
thanks in advance!

I've used 3/8" aluminum tube with bronze bushings on my Funbot's X and Y axis. I did this as the weight of the axis is pretty light. I wasn't sure how well it would work, but I've run the machine pretty steady for a couple months and it has worked very well.
Here's a pic of TriTom track drive wheel printed on the Funbot.
