As a former driver and build team leader, I would highly recommend you re-evaluate your choice of gearing. While 16ft/s may sound nice, it is often hard to control for an inexperienced driver. It is a nice speed for a high gear in a shifting drivetrain, however for a 1 speed like you have designed, aim for the 8ft/s - 12 ft/s range. It is a good range to be in and your driver will thank you.

Other than that, nice cad. Looks great.

Did you use JVN's design calculator? and if so what current pull are you getting off of that setup?
