It could be that the transmission with backdrive before you brake anything, or that the wheel (omni wheels don't have much grip) will loose traction with the ground before something goes wrong.

Overall, I really like how small this is. It's perfect to fit in the corner of a robot.
I don't know. so far from the abuse I put it through it's not grinding, it's actually putting a mirror polish finish on the bronze gear so unless grit/dirt gets inside them I don't think there will be any bronze specks lol. But as stated yes it would be better but will make an absolute mess x.x

are some pictures of a complete drive chasis. So far everything u see in that picture only weighs about 27lbs and that's actual weighed items.
