I'm not sure what speed the wheels will be turning, becuase we can adjust what sizze sprockets we have the chains going to. If we want more speed we can lower the ratio. As for turning we were concerned that it might have the "jumping" problem but we ran it and had no issues, turned just fine. We never cantilever drive shafts, there is a pillowblock that the output shaft goes into already on the frames. I'm not sure how they bolted it on however becuase I'm at college ~100+ miles away.

The gear that is on the drill we ordered through motion industries, it is made by boston gear. It was press fit on. The drill motor is held in place by the giant shaft collar that was machined for it, it was run for about 20min at full speed with no slipping.
