I built my own as well (fully hydraulic version). I am very interested in how you mounted your wheel to the system, and who built your wheel.

I built my wheel, and the hub it's bolted to.

I made a hub out of a piece of 3/4" plate and welded it to the female spline adapter that came with my gearbox.

Then cut a counter bore in my 3/4" wheel to match the OD of the hub.



Then flipped it over and started laying out my pockets.



Didn't like how crowded the 4th row was on 24° spacing, so I added another hole and moved those pockets over.

With the wheel pattern decided, I then drilled the hub to match.

My 3/4" plate was a drop from laser cutting and is 23.75" IIRC. I never bothered to true the edge of it. Runout is minimal, and top speed is only 800rpm or so. I run it closer to 670, because that's a lot closer to my torque peak.

Wow Jim, that's a project to be proud of!
Gotta see if Hughesnet will let me watch your video in under an hour!

Just watched it! Fantastic.
What did you learn? On all my projects, there's usually a few things I would "tweek".
