Why to not side load the motor? You will likely destroy it. The bearings will not last as long, break and then your motor will burn out. You could also bend the shaft of it or something else can happen

In 2013, some of our team members made prototype frisbee shooter with the wheel driven directly off the motor shaft. After several shots where the compression (= side load) was set too high, the motor bearing at the back end failed.
