i'll connect to the main 24s lipo battery using a DC-Dc to lower the voltage to 12V

That depends on the motor (volts and amps).
Not the wheel size.
Actually for the same trust, a X5 on a 26" wheel WILL offer more stress on the dropout than a 24" or 20 " wheel.
I confirm.. I tested... and also I saw twisted X5 axel on a 26" wheel with equivalent power trust than my 20" rear wheel setup that never twisted...
Today, CHXS shown me his twisteed X5 axel !! the first i ever saw!
look like Methods is not the only torture tester here!

I am curious, is the size of the wheel it's self just stronger at 24" because of less of a fulcrum created by the distance of the axle to the rim? I am only asking because I would have thought the outside diameter would be the determining factor, and if the 24" has a 3" tire that would have it virtually the same outside diameter of the 26", wouldn't that still be the same speed as a smaller tire on a 26" wheel?
I don't doubt your expertise, I'm just trying to better understand why the 24" is stronger. Also, I am very interested because I often thought of using a 24" myself.
Keep up the good work!!
I can't WAIT to see that bad-boy with the 4 MS lights?!!?!!
Oh, how many AH's is you battery going to be btw? And what specific Lipo batts are you using? 8)

-The PCB is finished!!
-The torque arm is finished and assembled to the swing arm
- I received the 4 MAGICSHINE LED yesterday !!! that really rock!!! 3600 lumens!!! and the red 3W rear LED
150$ of high precision laser cutting but that was 100$ minimum quote so i added more universal torque arms job!!!
1/2" thick steel on each side of the swing arm, welded,
(with screw and 3M EPOXY DP460 glue ( to link the aluminum to the steel)
Soon pics of the torque arm:
