Let's see... it's steel... it's got two disc brake holes that you could mount sprockets up to ( even just bicycle sprockets would be fine for lower power stuff if you can find an appropriate spider. ).. it's got a fat solid steel axle.. and it looks like it may have some pretty big bearings that may be replaceable if they fail under high RPM, but that is an unknown.
This is probably designed to take pretty serious loads considering it's designed to have two disc brakes on it.
If you could cut out some bicycle dropouts from a dead/unwanted/trashed frame, or even just cut into some thin steel, you could make a mount for this pretty easily.
If you need ANOTHER stage of reduction + a freewheel, you could use a standard rear wheel freewheel hub in addition as a second stage, with something like a white industries eno on it, or one of the stronger ACS units.
Surely it will hold up to what a small turnigy, cyclone, or other motor can dish out.
$19.99 for a jackshaft sans sprockets is a hell of a deal considering that the other option is to get a shaft, two pillow bearings, and keyways.
This is also most likely a lot lighter as well than using the industrial stuff. Sort of a middle ground between doing industrial heavy steel stuff and something like a recumpence drive.
I ordered one and will post pics / disassembly if anyone is interested.
