Banebots Wheels - hubs for drill motors.

Aight, well i've been looking at the banebots wheels. They seem pretty nice. The ones i'm eyeing have a 1/2" hex bore. Now, what are peoples thoughts on getting hex ali bar, and tapping the centre of it for drill shafts? My calculations leave me with 1.59mm or so material left around the hole... Confused Boring them out would be a royal pain in the arse, and a circular hole wouldn't be as strong. Sad
EDIT: I think I just answered my own question, they have 3/4" too, but larger. Might have to deal with it. Laughing

The Banebots motors have a 3/8" keyed shaft and the standard drill motor has a 3/8" UNF threaded shaft. There is plenty of material in the Banebot hubs I have. So there isn't really any problem.
Why not just use the Banebot motors and hubs too?

I don't like their gearboxes enough to invest in them, considering my drills never break. Handy to know that the thread's UNF though, had forgotten that. I just like their wheels as a handy and easy to replace kind of thing. Smile
