No, it's not just you... I've found myself many times in the same predicament, and just like you, end up doing something less compact to get around the problem. I haven't peeked inside one of the motors, but I suspect there's probably not a lot of (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

You mean like the gear reduction unit in 872? See (URL) for details. You basically have a 4L axle bushing running across the block at the bottom, and a 2L in the middle. Very useful thing to have... Duq "Mark Tarrabain" <markt@lynx.SPAMBLOCK.net> (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

Actually that's a pretty good idea, not bad at all. Just think before those axle joiners came out, I used to use a couple of z24s linked together using the axle slotsto extend the output. Legomaster www.mylegomaster.com (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

I've often wondered why it was that LEGO decided, when making their technic motors, to have them with such a ridiculously short axle that you almost ALWAYS will need to use an axle joiner to extend it. What would have made more sense (at least to (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) A quick test with two lt grey joiners and three of other colors could not confirm your results. 1 lt grey was loose, the other was quite tight. Could it be that you have used your lt greys more than your other colors, and they are more worn? (22 years ago, 25-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)
