Gus nailed it.

As for bearings, AndyMark sells a 6mm ID bearing that could be pressed into a plate or frame member.

Matrix motors have a different bolt pattern than the Tetrix and NeveRest motors (consider the third photo here; ours uses the six M3 threaded holes on the nose), so do plan accordingly. All three of our current NeveRest motors have the same bolt pattern (the NeveRest 3.7 will be different). But yes, their 12V motor would be around the same speed as a NeveRest 40.
