Re: pic: 3946 off-season strafe module, oblique view
I'd me more concerned with the sideloads the wheel produces on that hinge when driving. I could be wrong, though. With just a CIM reduced by 12 times in the toughbox onto a 3 inch radius wheel, that is potentially 100 lbf on the end of that arm, on a ~12 inch lever arm? That's a good bit of torque on that hinge. Plus, there's going to be a lot of backlash. I'd reduce the length of the arm and/or add side bearing supports to take the sideloads.
