It looks like your correct, so if this is the case and it is only 2CIM, then it will be interesting, that means that there is also 1/2 the friction area of the pulley against the tread, that I thought that there was. It looks like a BB 220 gearbox and while it is a rugged gearbox Banebots says " We recommend using a design that supports the end of the shaft", probably isn't a huge problem here as the wheel is close to the face, but something to be aware of
