Gearmotor Dimensions:
This motor has a long (0.365" or 9.27 mm, not 8mm as shown in the drawing below), D-shaped metal output shaft that almost perfectly matches the Solarbotics RW2 rubber wheel. The brass faceplate has two mounting holes threaded for M1.6 screws (1.6 mm diameter, 0.35 mm thread pitch).
