Re: Possible to extend output shaft on WCP Gearbox?

You should be able to make an output shaft for this gearbox with just a piece of hex or Thunderhex stock. However, you will need to replace the 1/2" round bearing on the motor plate with a 1/2" hex or Thunderhex bearing, and add some method of stopping the shaft from sliding out (shaft collar or a bolt+washer in the end of the shaft).
