you mean one mount on the D section of the gearbox and one mount over the motor?

if so then yes. ive done the one end support and it worked less then well.

In all our kits weve never had a problem. they are mounted over the gearbox. they are also avalible for purchase

Question:

I cant attach wheels directly to drill motors, but I can attach them to a drill chuck output (the small motors used on the Zeobots have mini gearboxs in them and they seem to do fine).

I take the left hand screw out of the center of the chuck and unscrew the chuck, then thread the wheels directly onto the gearbox of the drill motors. 95% of the aussie bots follow this method.

We found the easiest way was to mill down the chuck and screw it back onto the motor shaft. we then pushed the wheel over the milled chuck and screwed through the wheel into the chuck. We found this to be the most practical solution at the time. I agree this may not be the best way to do it but we found it ok.
Obviously it is heavier than screwing the wheel straight to the motor shaft but as the center of the wheels i had where larger than the motor shaft this seemed to be a good option.
