Re: Is this shooter design sound?
I would strongly advocate (depending on your packaging and size constraints) mounting the wheel in its own pair of bearing and driving the colson with a 1:1 timing belt. Not only does this prevent side load on the CIM it stabilizes a wheel that will be spinning at a relatively high RPM and allow for future ratio adjustments.
