I hate to be the bearer of bad news. . .
If you have a huge flywheel(or even a small flywheel spinning very fast) and you turn or tilt itin any fashion its going to go haywire. . .There is a video of some people playing a trick on a bus boy(back in the 30s or 40s) where a large low friction flywheel is inserted in a suitcase. The wheel is accelerated to high speed and then handed to the unsuspecting carrier. When he rounds the corner it yanks the suitcase out of his hand and jumps straight up and into the wall.
If you change the direction of the wheel an equivalent amount of force(however much energy is in the wheel) will be applied 90 degrees opposite and out of plane (read cross product) from the original turn. So if you turn left the trailer tries to climb up, right it digs into the pavement and tilting it causes it to swerve sideways.
If you were going to go completely straight(no tilting or twisting of ay kind) then it would work fine.
