All the best ideas come from sheer desperation at the last minute!

I keep thinking about mounting wheels on separate bearings and driving them with a belt or chain, to minimise shocks and impacts getting to the gearbox bearings. That would seem like the best approach overall but it also feels like a lot of work compared to just bodging wheels straight onto the gearbox output shaft.
