It looks a lot like the Hobbytown tank drive. Is there a problem with the existing universals? Not sure which NWSL universal set you're talking about, but Micro mark has the old Hobbytown style sliding ball universal set available that would be perfect for this.

Hi Ken,
I realized after I posted that you were talking about connecting the motor & gearbox. NWSL has large universals with an adjustable plastic dogbone you put together and cut to size. Set 490-6 will fit 2.4mm shafts.

If you have any Blue Box shaft parts lying around, you might be able to put something together from those.
