@Trevor Ingram but here is not inertia for mokeys (generic wheel). The force you need to spin the wheel is far greater than the force to stop it here on earth and there are a lot of factors involved on this nongeneric wheel. Gravity (of a very non-hollow heavy wheel) + a lot of friction (gearbox) + very low rotational speed will slow down the wheel very fast. I think the speed its the biggest reason why it going to stop quick. I think the first comment was taking about the inertia when you start to spin the wheel not when it stops.

I can't say for the value of this machine for down time per day. Yet that is a factor for maintenance and it has to be. Let me give you an example. A CAT 797 working in the Alberta tar sands costs the company $1 million a day in lost productivity for that dump truck to sit. EVERY mechanical part on that truck is cheaper than that. Even a new set of 6 tires is $250,000. No idea about the electric drive motors. That is just a support piece of equipment let alone a primary piece like this big behemoth. There is going to be scheduled maintenance. As long as it can wait until scheduled downtime then any maintenance manager is going to wait for repairs. They'll do their best to have all parts needed on hand and ready to go as soon as the production manager says go. Then this thing will have every maintenance tech in the yard crawling all over it. Until then though a few bad bearings in the conveyor rollers and some broken track will wait.
