It looks to me like if there is ever a condition that causes the wheel to lock up, and the motor continues to try to turn, there is going to be a lot of axial load placed upon the motor's shaft. In my experience, these motors don't like axial load. Is there a safety feature that protects the motor in this instance, or are you planning on spinning your wheels instead of stalling them?
