So, put a free-spinning wheel opposite the driven wheel, to take
up the slack...

Even better, have both wheels powered for "forward" motion (because a
single offset wheel will produce some torque then too) and allow them to
rotate in opposite directions when turning the mechanism ... I'm not sure
I can implement this as I don't have any big turntables (although I do
have a working synchro drive made with the RIS kit, using the differential
as the turntable)
