For all of you cringing at the thought of having to use keyed shafting, an 
alternative viewpoint.

Set screws will work to get started with.  Except for one instance in my first 
battle, set screws have been working OK in T005.  Just make sure you have adequate 
flats on your shafting and most importantly, Loctite on the setscrews.  The 
setscrews should also be checked and tightened before each battle.
