A flywheel can very well create problems if not done the right way.
It is only suitable to motors featuring a solid axis shaft and a very good and rigid bearing. The flywheel - if done the right way - add considerable amont of inertia to the motor shaft and to the whole moving system. Therefor it requires solid construction. Especially if the flywheel is directly attached to the pulley or part of it (which is the only way to use the inertia moment of the flywheel to smooth out most imperfections of the motor itself). The smaller motors envogue right now do not fare very well with flywheels.
The small motors common today have 3 big advantages. Even if all turntable-manufacturers using them do list some other advantages, it all comes down to these 3 only....:
1. they are inexpensive.
2. they are inexpensive.
3. they are inexpensive............
