I like the concept, as someone who has utilized the large steel sleeve of the CIM structurally before.

I will warn against taking any loads with the face of the CIM, this is a rather thin wall cast component, which I have seen break in normal mounting configurations.

See if you can find a way to clamp higher up on just the steel sleeve, for both parts, the module rotation and the main frame mount. It'll be interesting to accomplish that and still properly pilot the CIM for the gear mesh.

Also I have next to zero confidence in that wheel/tread setup surviving for a match, once you get past a certain point there is simply not enough contact to transfer the forces required without extreme wear, one of the reasons I stopped at the ~3" diameter territory with my designs.
