Sorry, I wish I knew how to fix the movie for you. The speed part is a
definite concern.

The piston rods are pinned to the 6 holes around the center hole of the model
team hub. The crankshaft runs through the center hole. Normaly the connecting
ring (model team hub) would be part of the master piston rod. Amazingly enough
it seems to work without that rigid connection. The model team hub does not
jerk. I think because the pistons are always pushing it in one direction.
