SDP-SI sells "fairloc" hubs for their gears, which are like integrated shaft collars that allow you to leave the shaft unmarred. Something like that would be good for interfacing a brushless motor.
Low cost, sensored, robust, controllers that go both directions without having to come to a full stop first?
