Okay, Here one way I like:
If you don't mind taking your lego motors to bits then you can take out the
nice little black bit that fits on the 9V motor shaft. Its small, it fits
into lego gears and it snugly fits onto other motors. Its basicly the bit
you where on about making where you drill a tiny hole into a lego shaft.
HOORAY For Lego!
