It's a 500 motor and all the shafts are 3/8 Hex with the ends lathed down to 3/8 round.

The reduction was mainly for low speeds not torque. This runs the pulleys on the tower which is not a high load application, we actually used set screws on the competition robot this season and never had issues. With a flat in the shaft and some lock loctite on the screw it's fine for lighter loads.
