Re: mecanum wheels.

Correct. Direct drive would be directly connected to the output shaft of your transmission. And no, this won't hurt the transmission, this is what its designed to do.

Oh, and if you are chain driving, your going to need a pretty big sprocket spacer in order to clear the wheels.
