Using a Bag Motor Without Gearbox

Does anyone have ideas for a different way to mount a bag motor to a shaft, like the kit igus bar?

Also, we're not set on the bag motor, we'd be willing to use any of the other kit motors of comparable size (we don't want to use a mini-cim because of weight - it's being mounted at the end of a long arm).

We have never used them before, but I know teams have used drill motors transmissions and electric screw drivers with past KOP motors. Might be something to look into.

I know the Killer Bees, Bomb Squad and Spectrum's John Allen Gregory have had posts and experience with these techniques in the past.
