I dont think i will have problems with the natural COG of this beast.

Thanks, I had no problem with this set up. Have a look at the second
photo, you can see that the 8t mesh very nice. The only issue I had
with any gear i have tried, is that the gears do not "center" on the wheel.
Meaning, the width spacing of the hailfire wheel, is (a guess) 1mm off
regular lego sizes. I used a trick from Iain to reduce the left/right
slop by adding a "spacer" made from this old gear.
