The spacer/washer goes on the threaded part of the screw between the two halves that clamp together once you have tightened the screw. Hope that makes sense. I would also say that my favorite axle is the Corally axle that takes the Corally type wheels. The design is really superb, but it will only fit on Corally chassis's of course.
Yeah I was thinking on doing that...but all of my screw on type axles have a flange that the gear rides on instead of using a bearing so it isn't as smooth. May be something I look at again in the future.
