Here is a cross section view of the module. Hopfully it answers some of your questions.
The top of the castor box was a 1/4'' plate of aluminum with the tube of the castor bolted to it from all sides with 0.5'' 6-32 bolts. the main coaxial was then pressed into the top plate up to a flange, and the turning sprocket was pressed around the flange and bolted to the top plate of the castor box.
The bearing setup was just two igus plastic bushings and a steel washer.

Strategic analysis and human role play of the game.
Of course, its impossible to say for certain what will be a major component at this point.
