As an afterthought...  Lego must have realized the problem
because the Microscout, Manas motor unit, and Spybots ALL
use an axle socket for motor output!  With the recent revision
of the 9V motors, it would have been nice if they could have
incorporated this into the design.

have a look that all of thise units are much bigger than technic motor
so I think that lego has to think about positioning and bearing the axle
notice that inside the new lego technic motor there is some gearing
so outgoing shaft is really short and maybe lego has some kind of problems
using bushing

as you can see here
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0872-2/0872-04.html
the geared bushing at the bottom is very long and it is not in the same
direction as main shaft

maybe it was hard to solve this problem for lego

there is one more thing i'd like to add to the new motor
some pin-wholes
because lego is going to reduce studs it would be good idea
