Edit: As for buying, believe it or not it would be cheaper not to for us at this moment.

And the bearings can't increase in size I guess. This is still a really good design. Just if you you're making this in-house, pay extra careful attantion to how the coaxial shaft is machined.

With rps I was referring to rotation of the pod by the planitary gearbox, not speed of the wheel.

And thanks, that cross section helps. So the pod top and D shaft are machined out of 1 solid, reasonably thick block? Interesting.

How would I calculate the load on the pivot motor?

Should be in there. It's not too hard.

Would this be an accurate way to do this using the JVN calc?

"Arm Length" is multiplied by "Wheel Coeff".
