Re: Encoder recommendation for Banebots RS550 ?

I haven't been able to locate an appropriate encoder that would plug n' play on the back of this motor. Banebots do not seem to offer one.

Is there a US Digital E4 available for this application?

Any links, p/n's or information would be greatly greatly appreciated. Point me in the right direction and I can do the rest in terms of research, datasheets etc.
There is an E4P with a 1/8 shaft (3.175mm) which might work. Next largest is 5/32.

The 3.2 mm shaft is extended out the back. The length of the shaft is 3/8".
