I've actually run into a problem once with the axle being too long. I was
trying to model a craft that I built, and I ended up fudging the virtual model
by pushing the axle into the motor, because otherwise it popped through the
radar dish on the other side when rendered. I think making the axles the
Correct length is more important than making them an "easy" length, if that ends
up causing such headaches.
