For rotation speed I agree with asid61, too slow, you are going at about 1/2 the speed of MOEs modules (see my post history) and that works out to about 1.2 rotations/sec. I have heard some teams gear them as fast as 4 rps.

Also, if you wouldn't mind posting a cross section of the coaxial shaft, I'm always interested in seeing how people connect all the parts in this area.
Eh, I said the wrong speed. He's moving at 14fps, not 8. 14fps lets them push the 16fps 4 cim runner, which I think is a pretty popular combo (maximum distance/time for some people). Rps is not so much a measure of speed, because wheel diameter is more important; I ahve designed swerve modules with 5", 4.3", and 2" wheels before.
