    I am in the process of collecting all of my 2dof parts and have decided to go with the 25:1 motors with a hole through the shaft. What is everyone putting through the hole and how do you connect it to the motor itself? I've hunted for pictures, but have not found anything that clearly explains how this should be done.

    Hi Pitt, can you give specifics as to which motor that you have? There are many that match what you mention.
