Hi Sam,
The 2106 prototype picture you posted on asking for code is run on the same setup you have. We tried running in one AM hub on each wheel and noticed they were VERY unstable. We bought 4 more and have 2 hubs, one on each side, on each wheel. We used the 9:1 standard shaft (If we use this for 2009 i think we'll go with the 'long' shaft) BB's on a Kit-frame. We used a 2.5" block bearing to support the end of each shaft. It works pretty darned well. The speed is decent and the agility is excellent.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
