CIM motor and 8mm key hub

[matthewgkerr]

Hi Phyrxes. Our working design included a cage (still a build in progress) with a bolt dropping down into a bearing in the top of the wheel. Hopefully this would prevent bending. What I wasn't sure about was if I should have this bolt floating inside the wheel, or if I should turn it around and have it supporting the weight of the wheel. Supporting the wheel would then prevent the hub from contacting the motor... either way I still think I would prefer a dead axle extending all the way through and drive the motor using a belt... any other thoughts?
