You can see it in this picture. There are two dowel pins used as keys, thus making them dutch keys. 100% of mine look like this but our shafts were sourced from 2013, 2014 and 2015. Its not a published spec, so vex could have another revision that is not made this way. We found a way that avoided taking apart this feature, i am not sure how hard it is. I used the dutch key professionally as an emergency reinforcement of key way, they were not drilled straight so once the dowel pins were inserted, we knew it has really hard to take apart thus threw away the assembly when there was down time.
Wow, ours don't look like that at all. Our's have a continuous back side, but there's a small hole in the middle.
