Ewan, Ive tried big (300mm) vertical disks with 12v gold motors on BlacknBlue. Sadly they just arent up to the job, even overvolting a bit they take an age to rev up to any sort of speed. Use a cobalt motor like astroflight.
Also a timing belt probably isnt the best to use, as it will probably strip. Use either a V belt or a round belt. If your worried about it slipping when spinning up then maybe look at chain.
