It should be fairly easy to saw off the axle and glue a bush to the shortened
axle, thus getting an axlehole instead of the protruding pin.
The mainproblems would be to
- Get the bound strong
- Get the bush centered on the axle
Perhpas some other LEGO part is a better choice since the bushes tend to split,
or one could just improve the bush design with coating of carbon fibers and
glue.
Main question; Would the center gear/axle thingy stay on place it it does not
protrude the chassis? Perhaps a modified motor would need a "storing axle" at
all times and careful handling when installing a longer axle?
Who's up for some surgery?
I don't own any of the new motors and if I did I would probably not risk it
this way in any case :-)
