I did some brief testing last night with this. The Technic
motor(http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=2838c01) does fit into the
1x4x3 and 1x2x3 panels, with possibly a very slight amount of bending. The 1x2x3
panel works better as the 1x4x3 panel has two small strengthening ribs under the
top section which are at the stud centrelines of the motor, forcing it into a
half stud offset. (see
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/talltim/Extras/motor_panels.gif to understand
my poor explaination)
The shaft end of the Technic minimotor
(http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=71427c01) will also fit into
panels like this, but the other end is a lot taller.
