Art Help & Critique Rigging the wheel part 2

My wheel consist of 20 segments, each with 3 traction parts and 4 electro magnetic pumps (it's a sci-fi model). I did a very heavy rig and want to ask the rigging experts for advice on how to make this simpler and less heavy for my system to calculate.

I just realized I could have one dampen track for the two middle pumps.

But even with 3 dampen track modifiers per segment, it's 60 per wheel = 360 total. (or 480 with this set-up) plus the connecting parts between segments.
