Re: Direct Drive CIM Through Toughbox

None of the designs shown seem to support the other side of the wheel, so you are putting all the force on one side of the wheel... Would this not destroy the gear boxes or bend the shafts when you have 120 pounds on it? Is there some way I'm not seeing where their outer sides are supported, similar to the way the kitbot wheels are set up?
