The 1:1 gets fairly warm rather quickly. Not sure if it's something to be concerned about or not right now. Still have yet to put our shooter prototype through it's paces. Will do extensive testing tomorrow and Thursday.
We set up two to run on the BB 550 motors (a 5:1 and a 1:1) and both seemed to get hot very quickly. We followed the directions on attaching the motors ... but it didn't feel quite right for either one... a little too much binding when we clamped down the screws...

We followed the directions on how to assemble from the website..

We are doing the same thing you are with the same size banebot wheels and the hex shafts... we will try more tomorrow night.
thanks for the help!!
